This was one of our favourite activities in Paris. We tasted so many great pastries and learnt about the history behind some of the local pastries. Our tour guide, Anukool, was an absolute pleasure to be with. He ensured we got the best tastings possible whilst strolling through Paris.

Alpha was AMAZING! She knew the area, the background/history of the area and pastries and was just all around awesome for our family of 4 (kids 8 and 10) - we loved the tour and the treats!!

Our private tour in Le Marais

MariaJ_L, Oct 2022
Our guide was friendly and personable, however, her knowledge, unfortunately from our point of view was general; it did not feel like an "off the beaten path" tour giving us more information that only a local could present. She did take us to a nice macaron shop which was great and better than others in Paris; a Jewish bake shop that specialized in eclairs which we later consumed and found to be "ok", nothing special; but the highlight of this tour was a very nice, long established confectionery shop, Meert, which was very special; a must visit! We did not think the price of the tour was worth what was experienced. After the tour we stayed in the neighborhood on our own and found a great restaurant, Au Bourguignon, and had the best hamburger ever, along with a very good onion soup and cheese platter! The servings were most generous and we would suggest that you consider sharing the entrees.

A very sweet tour.

Gelsomina is so amazing! An expert in Pastry and the history around it. It was a total pleasure. We were expertly and effortlessly led and explained more than just sweets. The light rain added to the experience.

Try new pastries

This was a lovely experience. Fantastic guide and was wonderful having her helping us try things we wouldn’t have had if we didn’t do the tour. Knocked one star off only because it’s a little bit overpriced and didn’t get a coffee at the end as was described.

Amazing experience
