Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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!"
"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’ve taken many tours over the years and Alex stands out - relatable, caring, knowledgeable. Good with teen boys and elderly grandmas alike. Rarity. "

"We had a fantastic time on this food walking tour, starting at the Marché Beauvau and winding our way to the heart of Le Marais. Our guide, Alexia, was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Parisian culture and cuisine. She introduced us to a variety of local treats—artisanal cheeses, fresh-baked bread, meats, and delicate pastries—all while sharing fascinating insights into the history and culture of the neighbourhood. The pace was perfect, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. A delicious and memorable way to explore the city—highly recommended!"
"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. "
"Alexia did a great job showing us lovely spots to get delicious baked goods, cheese and wine. Not only did we enjoy the food, but her company as well. She was very flexible on timing, as we changed our plans several times. She also customized the tour a bit to help out with my husband’s newly developed back pain. We really appreciated her kindness. "
"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!"
"Gelsomina “G” was wonderful. Such a great personality full of knowledge of the area. We enjoyed local foods and scenery!"
"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."
