"My wife and I went on The 10 Tastings Of Paris: Montmartre Tour on September 14 from 12:00 to 3:00 with Maxime. We had just finished a Highlights And Hidden Gems Tour, so Maxime could concentrate on just food and drinks. Communication prior to the tour was great. We stopped in a few shops to try some foods or pick up food for our lunch in a park. Highlights were tasting different types of oysters and eating figs for the first time. A good amount of time was spent in a tucked away garden, eating the different foods Maxime bought or brought and enjoying a bottle of wine. Later he texted a list of what we ate and what shops we had visited. We really had a great time eating, drinking and getting to know Maxime."
"We met Gelsomina in the Saint-Germain area which we had not explored before. She was on time and very friendly. We started chatting right away and felt immediately comfortable with her. She gave us a wonderful walk around the neighborhood, gave us some interesting history in-between food stops. We saw a few places we were going to go back to after for shopping. It was great to get a feel for the area with someone who clearly loves it. The food choices were perfect. We were so full we didn't need supper! 😄 We relaxed at the final stop and after she left one of the staff told us that 'she is the best'. We have to agree. 10 out of 10. "
"My wife and I scheduled The 10 Tastings Of Paris Tour from 5:00 to 8:00 PM on September 13 with Ali B. At 4:59 PM, using the WithLocals app, he asked if we were in Square Armand Trousseau. We replied “yes” and he arrived at 5:15. We walked to a nearby market square and he picked out cheeses, meats and 3 different tapenades. We ate them with a baguette and a glass of wine. Ali explained what we were eating and drinking and where in France they came from. Afterward, my wife had a wonderful espresso. By the time we left the market it was raining (not drizzling). Ali had 3 delicious desserts planned at 3 different places. Unfortunately with the rain, there was not much discussion about the area of Paris we were in. We even took the Metro to stay dry. The tour ended at 7:15. Ali B is a good choice as a food tour guide."
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.

Gelsomina made Paris an unforgettable trip
"Gelsomina looked after my parents who were returning to Paris for a visit. We booked a food tasting tour and she was incredibly helpful and supportive, open to taking our requests and she also took my father to have his favourite Crepes Suzette. She is a superb guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking tog et the best out of their Paris experience."

Food & Wine Tour
"Maxime is an excellent tour guide! He took us to the best fromageries, patisseries and cafes. Maxime is very thoughtful and took time to explain the origins of everything we consumed (and it was a lot!). He also explained the history of the streets and provided excellent recommendations for the remainder of our trip. Thank you for a great start to our vacation in Paris, Maxime!"
"We had a food tour with Gelsomina "G". She was flexible with a slight time change. It was a great day walking the city and trying new fantastic foods. This is my 4th tour with locals and it never disappoints. I find it to be one of the things I always can remember and chat about for years to come!! Always a great experience. Thank you G!"

"My friends and I found Rachelle to be very pleasant and knowledgeable on our sweet food tour. Not only did she tell us a lot about Marais but also included facts about all of Paris. We sampled yummy desserts at four different locations. She was a perfect fit for our group of four women. "
