OUR HISTORY

Founded in 2010, Exclusive & Private began not as a business but as a passion. Our founder, Manuel, started by welcoming American friends to Paris and sharing his favourite corners of the city – from hidden gardens and architectural treasures to local cafés and markets – creating personal and memorable experiences that went far beyond the typical tour. As word spread among friends and their connections, these informal explorations grew into bespoke journeys throughout Paris and the surrounding regions.

What began with a dinner conversation and a desire to show others the soul of France gradually evolved into a professional destination management company, built on genuine hospitality, deep local knowledge, and a commitment to crafting meaningful travel.

In 2016, we joined the prestigious Virtuoso network as a preferred partner, extending our ability to offer exclusive benefits, insider access, and exceptional service to clients and travel advisors worldwide. Today, Exclusive & Private continues to grow with every journey entrusted to us, shaped by the confidence of our travel advisor partners and a constant pursuit of excellence in the experiences we design.
