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.
This conversation is suitable for all ages.

Another fabulous virtual tour with Gil! He really outdid himself this time, racing through the streets of Paris to be able to include The Louvre as part of the tour. Gil has a wealth of knowledge about French history and sights.... we can't wait to take a tour in person with Gil on a future trip to Paris.
Once again Gil has done a great job of letting us be in Paris when we can't actually be there - yet! And I really enjoy how he weaves together the past and the present. Today I especially loved "walking" through the covered passages, especially the Galerie Vivienne which was spectacular. Looking forward to Gil's next walk!

Another great tour with Gil Solti. This is my fourth one and I loved it. I have been to Paris many times, but it is so much fun to revisit it. I have learned something new from each tour. Highly recommend!
