About Thierry COLLEGIA
3,000+ ⭐five ⭐star⭐reviews⭐and⭐ counting…
Hi, I’m Thierry! My love for History was sparked by my Corsican Grandfather, a war Veteran and Knight of the Legion of Honor. As early as elementary school, History was my favorite subject.
My purpose is to share my passion in a way that is entertaining and easy to understand. Having spent over 15 years in the US and the UK gives me the hindsight to approach historical events with different perspectives, along with a knowledge drawn from years of attending history talks, courses, tours and reading hundreds of books.
My favorite period is the late 1700’s: the French Revolution, Napoleon, and the U.S. Founding Fathers. Times when a few brave men, moved by their conviction in a greater cause, changed the course of history.
In 2019, I have received 3 accreditations from Tourism Academy in partnership with Paris Airports: Excellency of Service; Welcoming European Travelers ; Welcoming Travelers from Asia.
*3,000+ ☆☆☆☆☆ Reviews received on AirBnb alone!! And a few hundreds more on Google, FaceBook, Context, Tours By Locals, TripAdvisor/Viator, etc.
