ABOUT THE FOUNDER
“ Why I Started Scenic Zest Tours”

Shabir SHabrez Noorani
Founder & Lead Explorer
I came to Paris as a student and started guiding part-time just to get by. But working for big companies, I saw what was missing. Tours were just dry lists of dates, completely ignoring the legends, the secrets, and the fun that make history come alive.
I realized I didn’t just want to guide; I wanted to share the real Paris.
Scenic Zest Tours was born from that promise. We dig deeper into the archives to bring you the stories others miss. And we don’t just stop when the tour ends—whether you need a restaurant recommendation or help navigating the Metro, we’re here for you. Welcome to the family.
