What are people saying about Saint Germain des Prés
SHARON_W, Sep 2023
Wonderful Food and History of a very beautiful part of Paris
My daughter and I took the food tour with Fanny. Not only was it a food tour but a history lesson as well. She stopped at several old restaurants and local businesses even though we weren't eating there she explained the history (love the story of Napoleon and his hat). The food was wonderful. The chocolate was some of the very best. We ended at the gardens and such a wonderful place to enjoy your dessert. THANK YOU Fanny - you were the best.
Jean_H, Sep 2023
Great walking tour!
Anthony was a great guide! So knowledgeable about the shops and the history of the area around St. Germain des Pres.
beltrav, Aug 2023
Interesting and enjoyable
We both enjoyed the walk and would recommend “R C” as she called herself for short. She was very knowledgeable of the area and even included a sampling of Chocolate at a candy store. She went out of her way to be helpful and took pictures of scenic backgrounds with individual members of our group on their camera phones. In addition at the end, she gave directions to many of us going to another tour/museum, or wherever a person needed directions.
Rebecca_K, Aug 2023
Amazing Tour
So much fun! From the start our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable of the history of the Saint Germain area we were walking through. We enjoyed everything from macaroons, pastries, chocolate moose to the oil and vinegar tasting and yes, Ketchup tasting as well. What unique flavors. We even brought some Apricot balsamic back to the states with us.
We would recommend this tour to everyone.
