We were able to sample French cheeses, pate’, chocolates, marrons, and falafels. We were also able to eat at a very nice restaurant and had delicious onion soup.
Our hostess, Lola, was very personable and knowledgeable. She made the journey very memorable.

Johanna was super fun and knowledgeable. We were running late and she went out of her way to come back and get us so we could experience the tour!

Oscar was a great guide! Knowledgable about the different areas of Paris and local culture. Visited numerous unique food stores for tastings. Highly recommend!

Our walk with Margo was fantastic. Although a 99F weather experience, we managed to find the shade and air conditioned stops. A wonderful experience.
Nancy_C, Jun 2026
My kids, ages 19 and 17, said this was one of the best tours they've taken (and they've done tours in Italy, England, Greece, and Japan!) Oscar did a great job in educating us how food is so intertwined in the history, art, and politics of France. I loved the story of how the toasting of glasses originated from the fear of being poisoned.

It was nice and we enjoyed it, but definitely not worth the price. If it was more like $80 rather than $150 it would have been much better.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Elisabeth,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the experience overall.
We understand that pricing can feel subjective, and we’d like to explain that our tours are designed as premium small-group experiences. The price reflects not only the food and wine tastings, but also the expertise of our local guides, the carefully selected artisan shops and producers in Le Marais, and the personalized experience we aim to provide to every guest.
Our goal is to offer more than just tastings — we want visitors to discover the history, culture, and hidden gems of the neighborhood through passionate local guidance and high-quality products.
We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving, and we hope to welcome you again in Paris in the future.
Best regards,
The Original Food Tours team

Th good choices were wonderful, and the walking distances were short. Our guide Lolla was fantastic!
Lisa_B, Apr 2026
There is no place to sit down at most of the tasting places and most of the guests were elderly. This made for a very uncomfortable tour. Locations and food were not impressive. Dinner was a sit down restaurant. But after taking 6 food tours in different european cities, this is my least favorite,
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
We would like to clarify that this is a walking food tour, as clearly indicated in the description. As such, most tastings take place standing or on the go, which is a standard format for this type of experience. We understand that this may not suit everyone, particularly guests seeking a more seated or relaxed pace, and we encourage future guests to take this into consideration when booking.
Regarding your comment that the locations and food were “not impressive,” we are unfortunately unable to understand what specifically did not meet your expectations, as no details were provided. We carefully select our partners to showcase authentic, local cuisine rather than fine dining, which is also outlined in the tour description.
We’re glad you appreciated the seated dinner portion, but we regret that the overall concept of the tour did not align with your preferences.
Robyn_M, Apr 2026
A wonderful way to discover the gourmet highlights and history of the Marais. Pierre our guide was knowledgeable, answering our questions with interest. Highly recommend this tour.

So much fun! Oscar was chill but engaging and knowledgable. Food was great and the group was delightful.
Julianne_H, Nov 2025
Oscar was a superb tour guide. We tasted things and encountered things we would have never seen or known about without his expertise and knowledge of off-the-beaten-path gems. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris.
MatthewS, Nov 2025
Really enjoyed this tour because we got to see Le Marais and learn more about the neighborhood. There was plenty of food — probably too many sweets. We only tasted falafel and no pastrami as advertised. There was no wine tastings — just one small glass of wine and we had booked to also enjoy French wines. We missed the advertised church and there was no discussion of Hotel Ville. Although we really enjoyed the tour, it did not unfold as advertised. We had to walk quite a way to find and see Hiotel de Ville and without commentary, it was a bit of a waste of time.
We really enjoyed our guide. This would have been a five star rating had he followed the advertised itinerary and hit the key spots, especially the wine.
Sabrina_R, Sep 2025
The food was very good, a nice tour of le marais and our guide Kevan was very nice, funny and knowledgeable.
Jeff_H, Aug 2025
We really enjoyed our food tour with Pierre! He provided some history and interesting information about the area, and we sampled some delicious food, including a variety of cheeses, macarons, chocolate, cream puffs and escargo. Highly recommend!
Linda_S, Aug 2025
This was a great tour to start the trip off. We learned so much about French culture and food. We tried foods we may not have tried.
Christina_G, Jun 2025
We had an unforgettable walking wine and food tour through the Le Marais neighborhood with a vibrant young guide who was a university student studying history. She brought the area to life with her knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm — effortlessly weaving in local history, architectural insights, and cultural context with stops for incredible food and wine.
Our small group of six enjoyed a thoughtfully curated selection of award-winning cheeses, wines, savory bites, desserts, and chocolates — all from beloved spots in the neighborhood. She was engaging, thorough, and answered every question with ease. The pacing was perfect, and it felt like a truly special way to experience Le Marais for the first time. Highly recommend!
Jill_C, Jun 2025
We were to tour the Marais but due to unavailability of our allocated guide we were rebooked for Montmarte - sensational!
Tom_D, Jun 2025
This ia great experience. Our guide, Artur, was outstanding. Great food, great wine and a great day.
Rebecca_H, Jun 2025
We had a great time on the food and wine tour. Our tour guide Lola was so sweet and she was very knowledgeable about the whole city. The food and wine were delicious!
Adrienne_F, May 2025
This is a “don’t miss” in Paris. We had an amazing tour guide named, Kevan, that took us around Marais for cheese, wine, and snacks. He was spectacular. It was great to have a local that grew up in Marais and not only bring us on a food and wine tour but tell us the history behind the area. We really enjoyed our time with Kevan and it felt more like meeting up with a local friend that is showing you around the best places. Great way to take a break from the crowds of the big attractions enjoy some wonderful food and great locals. Highly recommend!
Donna_R, May 2025
Lola was on time , personable and we enjoyed variety of foods! The cheeses and Bordeaux especially a hit Merci
Felice_P, May 2025
It was a fun tour with a small group and a fun guide. We had cheese, wine, bread, falafel, escargot( I got lucky hardly anyone ate it so I got more),baked cheese, a macaroon and another sweet (cant remember what it is called). I have been on other food tours and for the price, I do not think we had enough food. I felt bad for the other people on this tour. They really didn't eat the escargot and that was the "main sit down dish" I would still recommend it as it was informative about the area and the guide was very nice
Carmela_D, May 2025
Fabulous experience! Maybe the highlight of our time in Paris. Our tour leader was perfection! He was personable, knowledgeable, affable and engaging. Wonderful blend of history and information about the various foods we ate. The blend of cuisine was incredible. Well worth it!
Susan_A, Apr 2025
A fun way to spend a few hours in Le Marais. Kevan was a wonderful guide and the food was delicious.
steve_k, Apr 2025
This is a great food tour that shows you some wonderful places to shop and eat away from the main tourist places. A great opportunity, don't miss it!
Connie_Z, Apr 2025
Great experience. Pierre was very informative & made everything fun as the tour moved from place to place. We loved the last stop. Escargot perfect ending in a lovely cafe.
