Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"Jay was such a wonderful guide. He is incredibly engaging and knowledgeable about the local food but also about Parisien history. We learned so much. It was a delight to get off the beaten path and into a local neighborhood and get a glimpse of life away from all the tourist attractions. We enjoyed Jay and his tour very much! "
"Maxime was a fabulous tour guide! He went out of his way for us, waiting for us when we were running late and even helping us catch the metro for our next event! But most of all, he really helped us to see Paris through the eyes of a local person - and he shared some AMAZING food and drinks! We greatly enjoyed learning about the Sentier neighbourhood/Rue Montorgueil area and the lovely shops and restaurants there. Thanks so much, Maxime! We had a wonderful time!"
"We had a great patisserie tour with Rachelle - good humoured and enthusiastic - our tour whizzed by whilst chatting away and learning all about the area and the food. Definitely recommended!"
"We had a lovely afternoon with Alexia visiting some well hidden gems in the neigborhood and trying some lovely food (still thinking of the delicious Marveillieux she bought for us!). Great conversations, great knowledge about the area and the food - what more can you ask for;-) My sister and I had a great time with Alexia"
"Rachelle took us to the most delicious places and we tried things we never had before. She was amazing interacting and relating to my sons. This was a gem of a tour. Highly recommend!"
"My wife and I really enjoyed the walking food experience with Gelsomina. She was knowledgeable, engaging and fun. We gave her few restrictions and she really delivered a worthwhile food and culture tour. My favorite part of the tour was the market. As home cooks I could only dream of having such a resource. Gelsomina was the best and we’d book with her again without question. "
"One of my best experience on my latest trip to Paris. A private, up close and personal affair with macarons, with Chef Jean Yves of course. Thank you for a wonderful morning, and all the sharings on how to get the perfect macarons, all the time! I love the fact that not only do I bake beautiful macarons in your kitchen, but also when I get back home!"
