"Jay was a wonderful guide! He was very accommodating in creating a time slot outside of his online availability for our group. He has a wonderful personality and we really enjoyed our afternoon with him. We also really appreciated his ability to accommodate the mix of first-time visitors to Paris and return visitors.
Jay shared many fun, interesting and perhaps lesser-known stories of Paris (we may or may not have fact-checked following our tour!). 😆
The food stops were also really good. We stopped at about 5-6 places and had a good mix of savory and sweet items. It was a perfect amount of food to feel full, but not overly stuffed.
All four of us highly recommend Jay! Thank you so much Jérôme for a great tour!

Foodies and Friends!
"Nella was terrific! We ate and ate (and drank). Learned history and walked through the less touristy parts of Paris, which we loved. She tailored everything to our preferences on the fly and enjoyed watching us enjoy each new treat. It is a great way to spend the first day to manage jetlag and to get oriented in the city. It felt like hanging out with a friend with so many common interests. Thank you, Nella!"
"Thank you Joao for our 3 in1 fun tour of Monmartre! Everyone in our family group had a blast learning about the area, tasting delicious bites, posing for your fun photos and coming away with fond memories and great photos of our time together! Our ages range from 13 to 80 and we all enjoyed our time with Joao immensely! Don’t miss this tour!"

Dreaming of buttery croissants and delicate macarons? Dive into the world of Parisian pastry! Our private pastry tours unlock the city's sweetest secrets, taking you to the best patisseries in Paris.
The History of Parisian Pastry
Did you know the iconic croissant isn't originally French? It was inspired by the Austrian 'kipferl' and brought to Paris in the 1830s. Parisian bakers later perfected it with puff pastry!
A Cultural Pastry Tradition
Experience the French 'goûter,' a cherished afternoon snack tradition. Around 4 PM, Parisians pause for a sweet treat, often a delicious pastry like a pain au chocolat from their local boulangerie.
Paris's Famous Macaron Pastry
The macaron, a symbol of Parisian pastry elegance, has a long history. These delicate almond meringue cookies were perfected in the 20th century by Ladurée, who first sandwiched them with ganache.
A Legendary Pastry Chef
Meet Marie-Antoine Carême, a pioneer of French pastry in the 19th century. He was famous for his elaborate confectionery creations, elevating pastry from a simple treat to a true art form.
The Perfect Parisian Éclair Pastry
The éclair, meaning 'flash of lightning' in French, is a classic choux pastry filled with cream and topped with icing. It is said to be named for being eaten in a flash! A must-try on any pastry tour.

Food tour of le Marais
"Alexia was wonderful with our group of 6 seniors. She gave us a food history tour of le Marais and she was so patient with us. We walked around and we really enjoyed her tips and input. I highly recommend her as she is knowledgeable about Paris and the history of the area. We went with her on a Sunday afternoon at 4:00 pm so this was in place of our dinner and everyone in our group enjoyed the tour! "
"Jay was energetic, incredibly informative and very flexible for our group of 6. We had a person in our party with a food allergy and he hunted down appropriate places - ultimately reshaping the tour to make it highly enjoyable. Jay is perfect for lovers of French culture and history."

Olivia is the one you want, trust me
"Olivia is a true gem. Have been on many private tours, she is one of one. Knowledgeable, authentic, kind and charming are just a few of attributes I would assign to this wonderful guide. Run, don’t walk, to secure Olivia’s services for your next Paris visit! "
"We had a great tour with Anukool and he was so flexible with us needing to make a last minute change. The food selections were great, although there was a lot of food! I did want to hear more about the food and culture, as well as history of French foods. It was a good evening with excellent company, but be sure to ask for more historical context of the food on your tour. We made that mistake! "
"I went to Paris on a work trip and I needed some help to figure out what to eat for the rest of the trip and he made it so easy to adjust and understand the area. It was great had a blast. He was a great host."
"We could feel the passion for excellent food from Gelsomina. We did try some food we never had before. Perfect mixture of history lesson and food. Can obly recommend Gelsomina as a guide, we come back."
