We really enjoyed our chocolate and pastries tasting tour. Margot, our guide was knowledgeable, fun and kept our 11 year old daughter engaged. I definitely would recommend this tour to chocolate and macaroon lovers!

It was hot (40 degrees!) but our guide, Johana, made it really fun experience and the food was delicious. highly recommended!
smills3082, Jul 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops on the tour, we were able to try a very wide variety of French desserts! Our tour guide also included a couple of savory stops on the tour which were an excellent palette cleanser and ended up being two of our favorite stops, an oil and vinegar shop where we got to learn all about olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and a spice shop. Our tour guide also included local history along with food history, and even took the time to stop at a church that our group was interested in. He also made sure that we had a couple of stops to fill our water bottles because it was very hot outside, and that was very appreciated!

Due to an injury with another family member we were a few minutes late. They waited for us and I really appreciated that. The tour guide was fantastic. She was a private chef and not only shared her love of food with us, but her knowledge, tips, recipes and sent us on our way with restaurant tips for both Paris and our upcoming trip to Rome. Everything we tasted was amazing. I'm not a chocolate person usually but I found myself wanting more. Every sample was delicious and having the ability to taste several before committing to one was an extra perk I wasn't expecting. Definitely do this tour. You won't regret it.

You definitely want to go on this tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of chocolate in Paris. He was so patient with us, and helping with directions after the tour was over. I really enjoyed all the places we visited on this tour.
Arthur_C, May 2026
We learned a lot about France’s gourmet food scene and Pierre was outstanding and informative. We highly recommend him & the tour
Eric_J, May 2026
Fantastic tour, well paced and excellent choices for stops. Emiline was incredible knowledgeable about the city and the stops. Three hours very well spent!
john_s, May 2026
Really enjoyable tour, great guide who gave interesting information not just about food but also other stuff as we strolled around
Eric_W, May 2026
This tour was filled with history of Paris and the origins of chocolate. It was informative and Rachel gave us a lot of tips for where to get the best options for chocolate, steak & frites, and more.
David_O, May 2026
This was super fun and many tastings. Our guide Vence was amazing. He was very fun and lots of facts around the city. Definitely recommend. Venice also provided restaurants suggestions based on where we were staying. 💙
Heather_N, Apr 2026
Excellent experience. Hugo was very informative and we enjoyed our time with him. Great assortment of stores and samples
Gabrielle_T, Apr 2026
This tour was great and Pierre was an awesome guide. We couldn’t believe how 3 hours flew by and he offered a great mix of history and secrets from the St Germain. Every chocolate, cake, mousse, macaroon we tasted was splendid. My children 11 and 8 had a great time and NEVER complained about walking anywhere. Pierre was also great with kids and listened to every question. We would do it again!
Nancy_B, Mar 2026
Amazing few hours filled with chocolate pastry and Parisian facts and lovely stories! Thoroughly enjoyed!
Cortney_B, Mar 2026
Desserts were amazing and history was interesting!
Emiline did a great job. Very enjoyable experience!
FERNANDO_A, Mar 2026
We had the best time exploring Paris with Emmaline. They were super friendly, funny, and full of amazing stories about the city — not the typical tourist stuff, but the kind of details that make you fall in love with Paris even more. The tour felt really easygoing, but we still got to see so much.
You can tell Emmaline genuinely loves what they do. Whether it was pointing out cool little cafés or sharing the history behind big landmarks, everything felt special. I also appreciated how they made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable.
If you’re ever in Paris and want to see the city through a local’s eyes, definitely book a tour with Emmaline. It was honestly one of the highlights of our trip!
Casey_O, Mar 2026
You are standing most the whole time. You really don’t get to sit and enjoy the treats. Everything was very good though and the history was interesting. Emiline was a great tour guide.
Lisa_K, Jan 2026
Catherine did a wonderful job teaching us so much about history, culture AND food (specifically chocolate). We appreciated her willingness to share her extensive knowledge with us! As several chocoholics, I can assure you will have more than enough to satisfy your desires!
DoloresAnn_G, Dec 2025
This tour was cancelled by the tour guide less than 24 hours before the meeting time. No alternative was available on the same day. The next availability was 2 days away and would have already left Paris.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Dear Dolores,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry for the late cancellation — we understand how disappointing this was. Our team did offer alternative solutions, but as it is low season, availability can occasionally be more limited, and unfortunately we did not have another tour running that same day.
It was also unfortunate that you were unable to move your experience to the next available date, which we would have been happy to arrange.
We apologize for the inconvenience and remain at your disposal for any further assistance.
Kind regards,
The OFT Team

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very sweet. She answered any questions we had. It was great to walk around and see the city.
Matthew_H, Nov 2025
This was a great tour. We enjoyed lots of wonderful Paris sweet treats and learned some history along the way. Lolla was a fantastic tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to try several different Parisian specialties at some of the cities most famous establishments.
Sarah_B, Nov 2025
We had Emeline take us around.
It was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. We enjoyed so many treats and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely do tour again!
Carol_H, Nov 2025
You taste chocolate from some of the top chocolatiers! Macarons melt in your mouth. Guide was friendly and very knowledgeable.
Louise_B, Oct 2025
You eat a lot of wonderful chocolate and pastries, learn a lot about St. Germaine and Lola was wonderful!
Linda_B, Sep 2025
Guide was very nice but we walked for one hour and had one stop . We received a piece of chocolate. We have been on four tours through Viator but this was not your normal quality. We left the tour after one hour and 10 minutes. Very disappointing. Linda Berry
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Ms. Berry,
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the guide pleasant, though we're sorry the tour didn’t meet your expectations.
Our Saint-Germain chocolate and pastry tour includes several tasting stops, carefully curated to highlight exceptional local artisans. The first part of the tour is designed to introduce the neighborhood’s rich cultural and historical background, with the majority of tastings concentrated in the second half.
As you chose to leave before the experience was complete, we're sorry you missed many of the highlights that our guests typically enjoy and appreciate.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope your future travels bring more satisfying discoveries.
Evlin_A, Aug 2025
Great experience with a knowledgeable and very nice tour guide. We definitely ate a lot of chocolates and got a small tour & history of the town.
Ken_F, Aug 2025
It appears from scanning reviews that there are a number of guides for this tour. We had Catherine and, aside from a few minutes of confusion finding each other, it was great. We learned a lot about the basic history and architecture of the neighborhood where we stayed (and probably would have learned more were it just adults), and ate an absurd amount of sugar. It was just our family which was lucky, and unlike so many of these food tours where you get a few small bites, we must’ve had 8-9 stops each with real portions. Highly recommend!
Valerie_N, Aug 2025
This was a wonderful tour! We were lucky enough to have the tour be just my partner and I with our guide, Émeline. Émeline was great, she shared some history of the area and taught us all about how the different treats were made and brought to France. We had some great conversations with Émeline and she even gave us some tips on finding the best restaurants in the area.
Make sure you come hungry and ready for lots of chocolate!
Christina_N, Jul 2025
Emiline had so much fun information to share and was so upbeat. I enjoyed the tour so much and the desserts were delicious!! A great solo experience, and her English was fantastic. Thank you!
Donna_M, Jul 2025
Nice casual walk to chocolatiers with a bit of history added. Your guide was knowledgeable and pleasant.
LynnVance_L, Jul 2025
Very nice guide, although it looked as though the proprietors of the chocolate shops were not expecting us…
Angelique_H, Jul 2025
Great tour! Arthur was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend! He was also very accommodating of a nut allergy and found alternatives at every location l.
