Irina was lovely! Knowledgeable and engaging. The foods were amazing! Really appreciated the tour and history!

Thomas was awesome and super flexible. We started off with an interesting walk learning about the small islands and had a macaroon tasting. We then headed deeper into the Marais area we had lunch in a cafe, we had pastries, and lots of a great stories about the history of the area. We capped it off with a charcuterie board. Lots of food, lots of history, highly recommend it!

Great excursion. Wonderful food and super guide. Lots of history and descriptive characteristics of Marais.

Best food tour I’ve been on. Rocco, our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. He set a nice relaxed tone. The choice of food experiences was top notch. The sit down meal offered many choices and the meal was top notch. The pastries and snacks were Paris specialties and every one was delicious. I highly recommend this tour!

The meeting place was hard to find. Our taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong place. Make sure and give yourself enough time to arrive.
Beena_R, Apr 2026
It was great. Kevan is hilarious so much fun. We didn’t manage the final dish as the group got on so well we couldn’t stop chatting!

I was expecting history and calture explanations but it was mainly going from a restaurant to a food shop and the conversations were around the personal life of the attendees. When I tried to ask Hugo questions it was mainly I don’t know. Very expensive trip for very little value.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations.
Our tour is intentionally designed as a balance between history, culture, and food discovery, and this is clearly communicated in our description. Many guests appreciate this mix, as reflected in the hundreds of positive reviews our guides have received.
We also understand that each guest has different expectations and preferences. That said, based on our internal follow-up, the tour took place as intended and the guide delivered the experience in line with our usual standards.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts

Juliette was a top notch tour guide! She is a Paris native and knows history and current events of the city. The tour took us through a great neighborhood of Paris. So charming and inviting, my daughter and I went back again the next day. I thought the food tour would be more inside and sit down at restaurants. We did sit in 2 restaurants but also spent a lot of time outdoors and eating street food. Not that this was a downfall as the falafel and macarons we had were super yummy, it was just different than I imaged. this was my first food tour and bc the experience was excellent, I would definitely do another food tour! Thanks Juliette!

Rocco was an excellent guide. He even reached out after the tour to help us find a good jazz place
The various food stops were very good. By the end, we were so full, we couldn't eat much of the cheese course, so pace yourself!
Our only thought was there could have been less education on macaroons. We all knew about them, as well as about the croques and beef bourganion (possibly couldn't spell it right, though).
The communication between the company and our group were very good.
Thank you!

Yannic was a terrific host today . Very inclusive and made sure everyone enjoyed . The food & history overview was informative and just the right detail .
Highly recommend!

Don’t eat before you go! My wife and I enjoyed this food tour on our first day in Paris. Hugo was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the area, and Paris history, and patient with all of my Paris first-timer questions. And the food was great- both savory and sweet! A thoroughly enjoyable time!
Gregory_W, Feb 2026
Rocco was by far the best tour guide we have had on a food tour. His knowledge of Paris and of the foods we were eating was so fun and informative. We would strongly recommend this tour especially if you can have Rocco
Kathryn_H, Feb 2026
Good variety of food and interesting sites. Our guide, Kevan, knew a lot about the area and was great to talk with. I would advise others to pace your food particularly at the 2nd stop. We were too full to eat all of the cheese at a later stop and the cheese was a highlight.

Go hungry. Lots of food! A nice variety. Peter, our guide was fun, energetic and knowledgable. We had a blast and felt like we were hanging out with a lifelong friend. Thank you, Peter, for your hospitality!
Dale_C, Oct 2025
Great walking and food. History given. Tour guide was very helpful. Our guide spoke strong English and has a great personality.
Matthew_Y, Sep 2025
Excellent guide, good food, beautiful neighborhoods. Hit all the highligts of the Marais district with some excellent stories. My only suggestion would be to bring some water to drink as only one stop included beverages.

We had Esther as our tour guide; she was so wonderful! She was super knowledgeable and warm. She took us all over and showed us so many cool places and areas. The food was SOOO Good, by the end we were so full we had to take our last bites to go. We love to go on food tours when we travel and typically get small little bites and are still hungry after however that was not the case with this tour. Esther was by far one of our favorite guides we have over the years. I would recommend this tour and especially her!
Jan_H, Aug 2025
Our guide, Anika, was fabulous! She is so knowledgeable, professional and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with her! The food we tried was delicious. Highly recommend!

Yannic was a fabulous host who provided a lovely evening in Paris for me and my husband. He provided vast knowledge and truly loves the city he shared with us. We were especially appreciative that even though there were only two of us on this tour, he did not cancel and gave us a beautiful experience in Paris we will treasure. The food provided was much more than expected - especially the full meal at a sit-down restaurant!
James_P, Jun 2025
Foods that are provided are nothing Special; lunch at a very touristy restaurant and offering was just OK. Guide commentary added little insight. To local foods. Was inferior to other culinary tours we've taken in other cities.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Good morning,
We always value our guests' feedbacks and we use them to constantly improve our experience, so every comment is welcome.
We're sorry that you didn't enjoy the food offer during our tour. We try to showcase the variety of Parisian food, but, that said, Paris is visited by millions of tourists every year, so some places may seem packed or touristy even though the quality of the food is high and the places are accurately selected.
We're aware of this aspect, that's why we try to balance it with local insights from our Local Experts (i.e the decision to offer falafels in Le Marais neighbourhood, which is usually explained by our guides).
We're sorry if the tour didn't meet your expectations and we will use your feedback to improve our experience.
We remain available for any further discussion.
Kind regards

Catherine, our guide, took us on an interesting food tour that included some history of the area we visited and a little insight into the culture of Paris. The food we tasted was good and the lunch portion served which was croque madame, frites, and salad was a full size meal. We sampled three different types of cheese and our guide gave us a little tutorial about them with reference to their flavor profiles and aging. We finished with desert and she sent us away with a macaroon each. She also gave my husband and I a cafe recommendation for dinner which was fabulous. We enjoyed the food tour very much.
Daniela_D, May 2025
Guide cancelled 3 hours before we were already near specified meeting space. It was very disappointing.
Response from Host, May 2025
We sincerely apologise for the cancellation of the planned activity. As we explained during our phone call, our guide unfortunately had an accident on the day of your tour and was therefore unable to lead the gastronomic experience as scheduled.
As soon as we received this information, we contacted you immediately and provided a list of alternative places to visit and enjoy during your stay.
We deeply regret the inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter.
Thank you once again for your kind understanding.

This was a nice little tour. I would say don't come starving though, we hadn't eaten yet for the day and we didn't get our first food sample until maybe like 30 mins into the tour. Though they were very good, I was surprised we started the tour with falafel since they are not French cuisine. Julia was sweet and knowledgeable, she gave us lots of information and history about Paris.
David_J, Feb 2025
This was a very nice tour. Kevan was a great tour leader--he told us about the food and wines as well as the neighborhood, the city and French history. We gained a lot of information from him. The neighborhood was a beautiful area to tour.
