Polina’s portrait coming soon
Founder & CEO
Polina
After years of walking the streets of Paris and seeing the wonder in her guests’ eyes, Polina discovered her true calling: creating unforgettable moments for her travellers.
After pursuing doctoral studies in sociology in France, she attended art history courses at the École du Louvre. She later had the opportunity to work within the Louvre Museum’s Exhibitions and Events Department.
Over the years, she developed extensive expertise in the monuments of Paris and the surrounding region, as well as in French history, art and culture. Driven by a desire to share her knowledge, Polina became a private guide and founded The Secret of Paris.
“Every traveller is unique. Every experience should be too.”
