Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful time with Gelsomina (“G”) on our food tour of Paris. It’s so nice to taste and learn the local food culture from a fellow foody who not only loves to eat good food but who also loves to cook. Even though G’s primary responsibility was to give us the food tour, she provided so much more detail about the local culture which is so helpful from an American perspective. G was a very warm and welcoming guide which I would highly recommend. It was our first time to Paris but we’ll be back again soon to learn more and hopefully Gelsomina will be available to be our personal guide. "
"My partner and I spent 10 nights in Europe, with 5 of them in Paris. It was our first trip and we wanted to engage with a local to learn more about this amazing city and experience the food. We booked a food tour with Gelsomina, and it was the best decision we made. Gelsomina felt like a friend, she had such interesting information about Paris and the food scene and we ate the most amazing bites! She customizes the tour to your tastes, but we had: coffee, pastries, cheeses, wine, tapenades, bread, oysters, more amazing desserts, crepes, galettes, macarons, and more. We were so full and even had left overs we ate later that day. I would 100% book again with Gelsomina! "
"Maxime was outstanding! We loved concept of the 10 Tastings of Paris tour, and he was the perfect guide for that. The area where he took our group of 6 was great, featuring a wonderful variety of delicious foods, where we also enjoyed the great local “flavor” of the people and sights. Maxime was knowledgeable, professional, warm, extremely enthusiastic and very kind, accommodating our somewhat slow walking pace. We highly recommend this excellent experience and amazing guide!"

"Had a great time with Anukool during our walking food tour. He was very knowledgeable about the area and foods we tasted. We didn't do as much walking as we expected - not a bad thing :-) - but we did try a lot of food - pastries, cheeses, tapenades, wine, etc. All of it was so good. Overall, we had so much fun and I would definitely recommend this walking tour with Anukool. The only issue we had was a glitch with the app - the address and the map are not the same so we had some trouble finding the meet-up spot."
"We had a wonderful time with Iza. She took the time to prepare for our outing and actually changed our meeting location due to the weekend flea market. She took into consideration the time of day in determining our order of tastings. We had a wonderful time learning about everyday life in Paris and appreciated avoiding all the ‘touristy’ locations. Highly recommend Iza as a guide!"
"We had the pleasure of spending the day with Gelsomina (or G for short) we explored the markets selecting a tasty snack of local cheese, meats and Baguette. This was followed by a range of G’s favourite local food shops including crepes, chocolates and a Super Special Meringue that I wish I could take home. Thanks G. Great Job. "
"Anukool was very nice, he told us a lot of interesting aspects about the city quarter we were in, showed us interesting stores and sights, and when we could not eat any sweets anymore (it was the pastry tour :-) he was very flexible and switched to something savory for the last stop. Thank you, Anukool! "
"We loved our pastry tour with Izabele! She was so friendly and easy to talk to - she not only introduced us to local pastries, she toured us around a section of Paris! We had a great time and saw things we never would have discovered on our own. We highly recommend!"
"We love the 12th Ar. Thanks for taking us to the market. My favorites were the pate and truffled Brie. Next we had an espresso with the best merengue I have ever had! Thank you so much for a great tasting tour. "
