Eat & Drink Your Way Through Saint Germain
Pat_M, Mar 2023
We had a great time touring and eating/drinking our way through Saint Germain. Ton of fun. Tour guide was awesome.
Great food experience!
Lee_H, Nov 2022
Our guide Alpha was wonderful, took her time with us and really engaged us on this food tour! Plenty to eat! Also brought our adult daughter with us and she said, “ —Alpha, I was so happy to be shown the tastes of Paris by a well-traveled local! Your worldly views give you a fresh perspective to share, and I’m thankful my parents and I toured with you! Thank you for a perfect day in Paris and for helping us with our French. “
Excellent activity.

Ww loved our guide Jerome (Jay). He was so knowledgeable. We loved the historical information about Paris and the French nation he shared along with the food tastings. An extremely enjoyable day.
Best thing to put in your mouth in Paris (that’s what she said)
Barbara_J, Oct 2022
We loved our time with Jerome! Wonderful food and conversation. We learned so much and had fantastic food. We would happily join Jerome on another tour!
nice- but not as described
Jennifer_K, Oct 2022
Our tourguide was nice but it wasn't the tour that was described here. We booked a 10am timespot, but we were told that nothing opened until 11 which was frustrating becuase we would have booked a different time. We got to try some good food, but not the places that were listed. One one stop, we got a tart, a quiche, and a croissant which was nice, but wasnt what we though we would be doing- trying different places. Maybe the places described were closed because it was too early... The chocolate mousse was amazing and the food we did get was good, just not what was described. Our stops were: 1) a caramel, 2) a bakery with a a tart, a quiche, and a croissant, 3)a creperie, 4)mousse, and sitting in Luxembourg Gardens while eating, and 5)a charcuterie board.

Visiting the boutique shops and the people working there and history from our guide about French and international cuisines
Oolala and YUMMY!
H_C, July 2022
This was a great tour! The food stops were awesome--it is difficult to pick a favorite! Here are a few of the items I feasted on: crepe, cider (my favorite beverage by far I think), macaron, apple pastry, financier, baguette, cheese quiche, dark chocolate mousse (divine), red wine, and a charcuterie plate. I was stuffed! The tour guide was also amazing and very knowledgeable.
Holy Crepe!

The food tastings with Gelsomina was very enjoyable. My group of five ladies and I asked Gelesomia many questions as we walked along. She speaks fluent English and is very knowledgeable about the culture in Paris. She was energetic, fun and gave helpful tips about making our last few days memorable. We started at a Crepe shop then Bakery for Quiche then onto to Chocolate Mousse, Macroons and ended with wine and cheese board. I would highly recommend this tour and Gelsomina.
Wonderful informative tour
Cathy_W, June 2022
Wonderful, generous amount of food. Great guide, Gelsomina(?). She provided lots of great local history also.
Poor customer service
William_G, June 2022

Excellent activity!
Lynn_B, May 2022
Our guide was very congenial and possesses an amazing knowledge of the area, history, etc. He is an excellent guide for Viator.
Great food tastings!
Beverly_G, May 2022
Paolo was great. We enjoyed multiple treats and had enough quiche, bread, cheese, and wine to skip our next meal.
Excellent
Holly_D, May 2022
What a fabulous, delicious tour. The guide knew the area and the proprietors. The selection of shops and foods was excellent and high quality. We sampled .macaroons, coffee, spices, olive oils, cheese, and wine. We ate several flavors of quiche from an outstanding baker. At some shops, we bought items to take home. We would definitely recommend it. We loved the picnic in Luxembourg Gardens at the conclusion where we relaxed with six kinds of French cheese, wine and bread. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly answering all of our many questions.
Fantastic food tour with Paolo
JoAnn_C, May 2022
My daughter and I shared one of the best food tours we've ever had with Paolo as our guide. Paolo was very attentive, very knowledgeable and clearly loves Paris and knows its history well. We enjoyed excellent quality foods...macarons, bread, wine and cheese, as well as quiche and delicious chocolates! We visited a unique shop with different peppers, salts and spices, as well as an olive oil shop. Just the most wonderful day!
Best food and best guide
Mary_T, May 2022
This was a fantastic tour. We started outside St Germaine De Pres, which was a sight in itself. Our guide, Paolo, was amazing. He was so friendly and provided some history along with recommendations for our time in Paris. The food was amazing and varied. But of course, it's Paris, so it was good. The tour started with the famous macarons of Laduree with many other stops, along with olive oil tasting and a spice shop (both very unique). The food was top notch but the guide is what made the tour.
Fun tour
T_S, May 2022
Very nice time with an accommodating local guide. We had lots of fun and his flexibility with what we want was great.
Great experience.
Norman_M, May 2022
Knowledgeable guide. Brought awareness to local foods that we would not have discovered on our own. Local history was also addressed, making the experience even more interesting.
Nice introduction to food in the Saint Germain/Sant Supert neighborhood.
William_C, May 2022
The chocolate mousse. We also liked the savory crepes we had as a starter. The food was generous, giving us lunch for the next day.
Great French food and drink
Jeffrey_S, May 2022
Paolo was very knowledgeable and provided a great understanding of the culture of French food and drink. In addition to several rounds of tasting, we had the opportunity to shop in a wonderful spice shop and incredible olive oil shop. His insight to the French culture provided an even greater understanding of life in Paris. Truly a great visit.
The most dreadful experience ever !!!!
Denise_H, May 2022
It was s terrible experience. 3 of the 10 tastings were Salt, pepper, Oliver oil. All tasted in public shops where anyone could taste with out charge. Paolo never took us to Any of the sights shown on the itinerary. For the final part macaroon and Coffee tasting the shop was close. Ended up in the 1st shop we had visited we had 1 macaroon. Paired wine was 1 small glass of red OR white wine. The most dreadful experience ever. cost £202.40 for 2 people
