My husband and I highly recommend this food tour. It included walking around Montmartre through beautiful streets and visiting hidden gems to sample the best breads, macarons, pastries, cheeses etc. I really loved the second part of the tour in which we enjoyed a French meal with wine in a private dining room with the tour group. Because the group was fairly small, about 12 people, it felt like an intimate French dinner party. Our guide Coco was truly wonderful and really treated us like we were her special friends and not just tourists. I will remember this experience always. Thank you.

Matthew was a fantastic host sharing secrets of French food and culture and history. He was very informative and the best part was the intimate meal he prepared for us with the relevant information and drinks.

Great tour! Tried the most amazing brioche you’ve ever had!! Walk was easy and our guide was super knowledgeable about the area and excited to share the experience!

This was the best tour ever. Naf was a wonderful guide & very fun to spend the afternoon. We learned so much about quality French food. Don’t eat before…you will be full on food & wine. 100% recommend!

Great info about the area and obviously good food to go along with it, we didn't need to eat for the rest of the day!

We're so glad you chose to join us. Your review is greatly appreciated, and we're pleased to know the experience left such a positive impression. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Juliana_H, Jul 2026
We thought our tour guide did an excellent job, but sadly this just wasn’t worth the price for us (almost $90 per person). On the tour, we tried a small piece of a pastry, a piece of cheese, a glass of wine, a small portion of a sandwich and some ice cream. We passed by lots of famous restaurants with signature French dishes (escargot, duck, etc) but did not stop into them. We appreciated learning about the history, but if you are here for a food tour, you do not get to try much. This is of course not the fault of the guide, but the overall tour design is not worth the money for us.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for joining our Paris Food Tour and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re pleased to hear your guide did an excellent job and that you enjoyed learning about the history and local culture along the way. We also appreciate your perspective on the value of the experience.
Our tours are thoughtfully curated to offer a balance of carefully selected tastings, neighborhood exploration, and the stories behind Paris’ food culture, rather than serving as a full meal featuring every iconic French dish. We understand that every guest has different expectations of what a food tour should include, and we respect that this style of experience wasn’t the right fit for you.
Many of our guests have enjoyed the combination of authentic local flavors and cultural insights, but we appreciate your honest feedback. We hope you’ll consider joining us again on another Secret Food Tour and discover a different culinary experience with us.
Andrea_M, Jul 2026
Great day- don’t eat beforehand as there is so much to eat.
Bring a bag should you wish to buy food that you like

We ate a lot! Great samples at all of the artisan shops and then we had great bread, meat, cheese, and wine. Great stories of the history of montmantre as well.

We appreciate your review. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours in another city!

Excellent tour of the Latin quarter! Olivia, our guide, was great. She was knowledgeable and shared the history of food and the area. I like how she spent time with each guest to learn about their backgrounds. She set a comfortable pace which was helpful for my elderly parent. Really enjoyed how the tour ends - sitting and enjoying the food and the company. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This tour was so fun! We had Aicha as our guide and she was fabulous. She was funny, told us great facts, and was very kind. We loved all the food we tried… you will not be hungry when you leave!

Rashawn_P, Jul 2026
It was great to be able to explore an area of Paris on my first day of my trip. The host Julie was very nice. You get to try a wide selection of meats, cheeses, and wines. I personally would have loved a little more variety of food. If you like meats and cheeses, this tour is definitely for you because that is mainly the food on the tour. You definitely get your money's worth with that. We were all full by the end with food left over.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your positive review. It’s always a pleasure hearing that guests enjoyed their time with us overall. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
Leanne_H, Jul 2026
We collected a bounty of bread, cheeses, meats and sweets along a walking journey that included history and explanations of the storefronts and food we gathered. The culmination of our travels was a lovely wine paired sit down to enjoy our collection.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for choosing our tour. Your experience is exactly the kind of memory we hope guests take home with them. We’d be happy to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!

Our guide was Matt. He did an excellent job, had visual aids, water, and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Very cool area of Paris. Unique and authentic. Food tastings were delicious. Felt like a local. Would recommend for large groups. Dining experience was fun.

Jane_G, Jul 2026
Daphne was lovely but I was extremely disappointed by this tour. We had some sweet bread, chocolate, cheese, ice cream, one glass of wine and 1/4 of grilled cheese sandwich. Just a small taste of each. The food and drink were not plentiful. There were no croissants or pastries, no meats or other foods promised in your promo. I read other reviews before I booked this tour and was convinced it would be well worth it.. I was fooled and overcharged as well.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Jane, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Daphne, and we appreciate your perspective on the food selection.
It seems like there may have been some confusion about the tour you booked. You joined our Express Tour, which is designed to offer a shorter introduction to the local food scene with a curated selection of tastings. Our full Montmartre tour includes a more extensive lineup and a broader variety of experiences, while the Express Tour focuses on giving guests a shorter but thoughtfully curated taste of the neighborhood.
Our goal is always to showcase the best of the local food scene through carefully selected experiences, and many guests have found the tour to be a satisfying introduction to the area's culinary traditions. That said, we appreciate your feedback regarding your expectations, as it helps us continue refining the experience and how we present its inclusions.
We'd love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future so you can experience one of our longer tours and enjoy a more comprehensive exploration of Paris' food culture. We hope we'll have the chance to provide an experience that better matches what you were looking for.
Amy_L, Jul 2026
We felt that the variety of food offered on the tour was not enough. Wasn’t worth our money spent. Better off spending our money somewhere else
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hi Amy, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you felt about your experience.
We understand that everyone has different expectations when it comes to a food tour. Our tours are thoughtfully curated to showcase some of the best of the local food scene while giving guests the opportunity to discover the stories, culture, and traditions that make each destination unique. While many guests enjoy the balance we've created, we recognize that it may not match everyone's preferences.
Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your perspective as we continue to refine the experience we offer. We hope you'll consider joining us again in the future and give us another opportunity to share a different side of the local culinary scene.

This was a wonderful introduction to food and wine and food shops in Paris. We had amazing croissants, macrons from a well known award winning pastry chef’s shop and, a fine meat dish at a sweet little restaurant. We visited a beautiful bakery, charcuterie, and cheese shop. We ended the evening at a former wine bar where we had excellent white and red wine, quiche, pâté, carrot salad, amazing cheeses, bread and a lemon tart for dessert. This was all guided by our amazing host Matthew who was not only extremely personable and friendly, but who had an extensive knowledge about food, wine, and Paris history. This was a wonderful experience. Thank you Matthew!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
It was great to hear from you. Your review highlights exactly what makes these experiences so rewarding. We look forward to your next Secret Food Tours adventure!

Lots of local history and really interesting food history.

Nice stroll through the Monmartre neighborhood. Stops along the way to taste macaroons, chocolate and crepes. Then a stop at the boulingeri, butcher and the cheese shop! Had a great feast and really enjoyed our guide Mathew. Felt like a fun walk with your French cousin.

We're happy to have you with us! Great experiences are made even better when they're shared, and we're glad we could be part of yours. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.

Super fun and excellent specialty shops for cheeses, meat, bread & sweets. A nice quiet spot to enjoy the food and wines. Learned a bit of history & also about the specialty foods.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your kind words. Knowing you left with so much to enjoy is exactly what we hope for. Until next time, we'd be delighted to have you join Secret Food Tours again!
Julie_R, Jun 2026
Great tour on Montmartre! Aisha (sp?) was great! She gave us a lot of historical I for action about the area. We enjoyed all the places she took us to. She was very friendly and easy to talk with. It was a great way to end our time in Paris.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
It was great to hear from you! Great food and local insight are a combination that's really hard to beat. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again in the future.
Linda_G, Jun 2026
Our guide was amazing, but the trip was not as expected. I thought it was more of a walking tour of the city rather than going to Food markets, so you might want to advertise it a little differently.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Every stop has its own story, and we're happy those moments stayed with you. We've also noted your shared thoughts as we look to continuously refine the experience. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
Dawn_P, Jun 2026
Matthew was an exceptionally guide. His knowledge of the history and food was superb. He was very personable and provided information about the area and the food as well as provided us with helpful insights. The food and wine he chose was delicious and went wonderfully together. I highly recommend Matthew and the tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review! We couldn't ask for better feedback than knowing the experience added something special to your visit. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
Jennifer_R, Jun 2026
This was a great experience despite the Paris heat. We enjoyed learning about all the little places in Montmartre. The foods were delicious. The tour guide was informative. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We loved hearing about your experience. Knowing that everything came together so naturally is always rewarding. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Angela_E, Jun 2026
Oh my goodness! The food was amazing. Our guide, Thera, was amazing. Her selection of food was outstanding. I did make the suggestion maybe not to do sweets first as I would have saved room for the meat, cheese, and wine, but that’s what I prefer. Everyone on our tour had an excellent time eating, drinking, and talking like we had known each other for a while. Thara made it feel like a bunch of friends having a great night together. I highly recommend this tour and this guide. 10/10 would do it again.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always nice to know guests leave with great memories and new favorites. We hope Secret Food Tours is part of your next trip.
Valory_K, Jun 2026
The experience was very fun and the food was great. Louis was terrific as a guide. It was so very hot that we could not eat all the food so there was too much food. I've never had so much food on a food tour!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We loved having the opportunity to host you! Knowing that your experience gave you so much to enjoy is great to hear. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
Lori_L, Jun 2026
We had a blast! You can't imagine all the food we ate. Emmanuel was a delight. It was a hot day in Paris and he did an outstanding job navigating the heat. We were treated to the best macaroons, chocolates, breads, cheeses, meats, wine etc. And it's such a small world - the other people in our group were also from NJ & we truly had an amazing time together. BOOK THIS TOUR!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Many thanks for sharing your experience! We're pleased that your time with us stood out in such a positive way. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon.
