A native of San Diego, Gil graduated in Politics and English from Brandeis University and later earned two Master's degrees: the first in Public Administration from New York University, and the second a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. After earning his MFA and producing his first book, Gil moved to Paris for a Parisienne and hasn't looked back. For over a decade Gil has lived, written, worked, and led tours in Paris. His background in literature - both canonized and contemporary - combined with his understanding of the inner workings of cities have enabled Gil to tell his narratives as experiences and provide unique insights into Parisian life.

I enjoyed it as I the did the Montparnasse tour with Gil in August. Gil took us to the places I would expect. I am reading
In Montmartre Picasso, Matisse and the Birth of Modernist Art by Sue Roe. I like Gil’s down to earth approach.
Gil did a great job with his tour of Montmartre ! We have been to Paris many times and Gil gave us new & thought provoking information
Gil is a great guide. Very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic.
The tour of Montmartre with Gil Stoltz was so enjoyable. I found it so useful to have the maps to orient us to the area being discussed. I enjoyed the historical context he provided about the early contstrucion of Paris and the historical significance of the areas he walked through. It was great that he showed the street signs along the way. He is so knowledgeable and is able to package a wealth of information in such a short time, yet it did not feel rushed. It was informative and so well organized. I highly recommend this tour with Gil.
Gil has somehow mastered the art of walking, filming, talking and fielding questions at the same time. His knowledge of French history and culture is extensive and delivered in an engaging and informative manner. Gil's tours are a delightful way to virtually explore Paris.
