April Pett, Founder of April in Paris Tours

April Pett, founder of April in Paris Tours, first fell in love with the City of Light at age 17 during a school trip from her hometown of Thorold, Ontario, Canada. What began as a spark of curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for French culture, history, and everyday Parisian life.

After moving to Paris to pursue studies at the Sorbonne, April discovered her true calling as a tour guide.

Her love for storytelling, travel, and authentic cultural experiences inspired her to create April in Paris Tours, a company dedicated to showing visitors the real Paris—beyond the guidebooks, through hidden cafés, charming streets, and unforgettable encounters.
