Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Anukool, was friendly and so knowledgeable. We had an excellent time. Highly recommend."
"Catherine was a gem. We already love, love, love cheese and are relatively familiar with many varieties, but Catherine was able to explain the ecological, geographic, and economic histories behind the production of various French cheeses so that we felt we were eating fabulous new things paired with the perfect wine. Highly recommended."
"My wife and I took the Drinks And Bites Paris Tour on September 17 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM with Giedre. Drinks And Bites is my favorite WithLocals tour because it is an opportunity to just sit and converse with a local after a long day of walking and visiting sights. We really enjoyed chatting with Giedre and relaxing with her well chosen foods and drinks. She is delightful."
"We had the most lovely evening with Isa, she is fun, real and so warm. Enjoyed ambling the streets of the Latin quarter enjoying her history knowledge and sampling some yum food and drinks. Thank you isa 🥰🥰"

"We learned so much about French cheese making, and got to try so many local cheese that I had never tried!"
"Catherine was a great host and explained the regional cheeses and variations. it is hosted in a fromagerie, which means we get to see more than the 7 cheeses used for the tasting. If you are lover of cheese, and want to learn more about how they're made, why they vary, and the impact of seasons on the cheeses then this is for you. ! "
"It was my second trip to Paris and this time I was with my daughter. We wanted to do something memorable together and this was perfect. Catherine, our host, was very friendly and welcoming and we felt comfortable and relaxed throughout. You get a brief geography/history of France and the type of cheeses produced in various regions prior to tasting. Then comes the tasting accompanied by bread and wine (if you fancy). This is a lovely way to spend an afternoon and I have no hesitation recommending to others. "
"We really enjoyed our couple of hours with Catherine. It was super informative and the cheese was wonderful. If you want to do something a little different while in Paris, do this. Catherine is a joy and you will not regret it. Know, however, that the cheese shop is in the 19th arrondisement which is a 30 minute taxi drive from the center of Paris (we were on the Ile St. Louis). Totally worth it though! Informative, fun and delicious!"
