Yummy!!

RogerMarsh, Mar 2023

We did 2 food tours & a wine and cheese tour during this trip to Paris. The “Ultimate Food Tour” is an appropriate title based on the variety of foods, stops & neighborhoods visited. Our guide was well versed as expected and found a way to incorporate everyone into conversations & the experience. I highly recommend this tour IF you really want to experience what Paris has to offer. Please don’t eat anything before the tour unless you plan to wear very lose clothing/pants! Also wear comfortable shoes because you’re going to get a lot of steps.

Great food tour

This was a wonderful tour with great food stops! I signed up for this tour while visiting my daughter in Paris. While she was in classes, on this small group food tour in Le Marais (close to where I was staying - but everything is accessible by metro). We made many stops over the course of the 3 hour tour, from baguettes, chocolates, macarons, and quiche to food from other cultures that are a vibrant part of Le Marais district (Moroccan, Jewish, Syrian). Our last stop was a nice wine cave and tasting! The group was a perfect size (8-10 people) and our tour guide, Joshua, was engaging, informative, and an excellent, enthusiastic guide. I learned a lot about Le Marais and its history, as well as about the food itself. Directions for the meeting spot were very clear. Sometimes it is hard to know if a tour will be good or not, but take this as a personal recommendation if you have the time, like food and history, and are in Le Marais - it is worth it!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Ardyth_W, We appreciate your personal recommendation to others who enjoy food and history. Thank you for choosing us for your food tour, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future! Sincerely, Julia

A True Taste of Paris!

ROSE_W, Dec 2022

This tour was, by far, the best way to spend our first morning in Paris. Our guide was excellent and so knowledgeable, sharing not only the amazing tastes of the city, but offering a real deep-dive into the rich history at each and every stop along the way. Warmly recommended!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear ROSE_W, Thank you for your positive review! We work very hard to provide the best service to our customers. Paris is a wonderful place, and we are glad to know that you enjoyed the experience. Have a great day! Kind Regards, Julia

So much food!

Barbara_M, Dec 2022

Loved every stop and every taste! Julia was delightful and we were totally overstuffed by the end! From chocolate to pierogi to wine and cheese with other stops between, we met some of the small family run food purveyors of Paris’ Marais district.

“Ultimate Food Tour” says it all!

Gina_G, Dec 2022

From the best bakery to have a buttery croissant to the freshly made macarons to the best Parisian version of the onion soup and so much more, this tour was just awesome! Michelle was fun and enthusiastic as she guided us through some of the best food places in Le Marais. Be prepared for lots of standing and walking around even in the rain though we did get to sit and relax in one or two places. All in all, this tour was so worth it! I can’t wait to go back and revisit these places!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Dear Gina_G, Thank you for your 5-star feedback! Your kind words encourage us to continue doing our best to make sure every guest's experience is worth a revisit. Thanks again and have a wonderful day! Warm Regards, Julia
