Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We went as a family of 4, with 2 kids aged 4 and 7. We asked our 4 year old what he liked most about the tour and he said “macarons!” gelsomina was able to adjust our meeting spot and locations on the fly based on what we wanted to experience, and how hungry we were. We got a variety of basic to unique sweets, even some we had never heard of before. We liked that she focused on local establishments (not laduree or Pierre herme). She was also great for families, and understood how to balance walking with routing through a park and types of places to keep both kids and parents engaged in the cuisine. She introduced just enough history to engage our 7 year old. The pace of the tour was good, and didn’t feel like too much walking given our young kids, but if we were a group of all adults I’m sure she would have covered more ground. "
"We did this as a group of 11 for a bachelorette weekend and it was one of my favourite things we did the whole trip. Nella was a great guide, super knowledgeable and fun and very patient with us. The stops were all places we never would have found ourselves and the pastries were delicious. The pacing was good and we learned loads about the history of the Marais. Great format for a group. Highly recommend!"
"Our tour guide Gierdre adjusted our tour to visit a neighbourhoid we had not been before in Paris. She knew great little places to stop- not the average tourist destinations but unique experiences and photo locations that only a local would know. And she constantly added history and context to our tour. Very friendly and stylish guide who we highly recommend . "

"Gelsomina was a fantastic host. She planned an exquisite set of tastings, with explanations of all of her choices. It was such a thoughtfully planned tour and we just loved it. I highly recommend this tour with Gelsomina for anyone who loves food and wants to spend time with a kind and truly enjoyable Parisienne!"
"Anna was great! She arrived on time for our scheduled meeting. She allowed us the option to walk or use the metro. She asked us what our preferences were for food options and told us some history about the neighborhoods we were walking through. We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour with her and would highly recommend her. "
"Ali made sure we got to try the very best of everything Paris had to offer. The best cheese, bread, macaron, meringue, croissant, coffee, jam - it was amazing! He added so much knowledge as to the why the specific locations and what went into making it. The blind jam tasting was my daughter’s favorite experience. I would highly recommend you choose Ali."
"Even in the rain this tour was excellent. Anna introduced us to some Parisian foods we were familiar with and many we were not. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very prepared. We had a great time and look forward to recommending her to other friends. "
"We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tasting and learning about French cheeses in a perfect setting. (She even provided special crackers for one member of our group with celiac disease.) Thank you, Catherine!"
"We had a wonderful evening with Chef Jean Yves. The food and wine were delicious, and his private restaurant was so interesting. Highly recommend this experience."
