Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our food tour with Anukool was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Paris. From the moment we met him, it was clear that this was going to be much more than a typical food tour. His knowledge extends far beyond Paris and French cuisine. He has an incredible understanding of history, culture, travel, and the world in general, which made every stop along the way even more interesting. The conversations were just as memorable as the food. What we appreciated most was that Anukool took us into a true local neighborhood, far away from the typical tourist spots. We sampled incredible foods and visited family-owned shops and markets that we never would have discovered on our own. It felt like spending the afternoon with a knowledgeable local friend rather than following a tour guide. If you’re looking for an authentic Parisian experience, amazing food, and engaging conversation, don’t hesitate to book with Anukool. We left with full stomachs, a deeper appreciation for Paris, and memories we’ll talk about for years. Highly recommended!"
"Our family of 10 (7 adults and 3 children) had a great time on Gelsomina’s food tour. She guided us around a part of Paris that we had yet to explore, sharing information and finding great food for us to try. We enjoyed learning from her and trying all of the tasty treats she provided. She was also very accommodating of my gluten allergy and my sister’s pescatarian needs. I would definitely recommend a tour with Gelsomina! "
"Maxine was extremely kind in customizing an experience for myfamily. We had a few who were somewhat physically challenged and Maxine was able to customize an experience for us within his local area that covered many of the wonderful foods that Paris has to offer. We enjoys wonderful food and amazing stories and local flavors. Highly recommend the tour and Mazime."

"We booked the 10 Tastings of Paris tour and Maxime was truly amazing. It was obvious he put a lot of care and thought into planning this tour. From the local third wave coffee shop, to the cheese shop, pastries, chocolate and more, it was all amazing. And it was definitely a tour of hidden gems where the locals did their shopping. It was a lot like visiting a friend and getting a tour of their home town. I highly recommend this tour and Maxime as the guide."
"We had an awesome food tour in Paris with Maxime with our family of four (2 adults/parents, 2 teenagers). He was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule the tour based on when the food shops were open. This was our 5th food tour in different European cities through withLocals, and our family agreed that this tour was our favorite. We highly recommend Maxime!"
"Anukool did a fantastic job at showing our group around and introducing us to new food experiences. He was full of knowledge and did a great job with commentary and overall conversation. We definitely got our fill of great food, drinks, and experience. "
"My family of 5 had a lovely morning with "G" in Paris recently. She was flexible, knowledgeable, great with children, and adjusted perfectly to the rhythm of our group. The food tour with her was without question a highlight of our trip to Paris and we'd recommend her without reservation. Thanks so much, Gelsomina, for sharing your time with us! "
"Maxime was great! Very courteous, very knowledgeable, considerate and engaging. The tour itself was disappointing. We had eight people on our tour and when you try to divide up a small brioche eight ways and have everyone touching the same food it’s not very appealing. Also had eight people sharing a small dessert and touching the food. I did a food tour in Lecce, Italy, and everyone had their own portion of food and it wasn’t shared by eight different people touching the food. But the cheese stop, they made a mistake and gave six portions of the five cheeses. Maxime had to take a knife and divide it up so each of us would have enough cheese. For the price we paid. I did not think it was a good value. But that should take nothing away from our tour guide. He was very very nice. I guess it’s just the way your tour is, compared to other food tours we’ve been on. "
"Gelsomina was an outstanding tour guide. Her explanations of the food and its history were remarkable, and she was extremely knowledgeable. The foods we tasted were all delicious—I honestly can’t pick a favorite. Gelsomina made the experience feel as though we were exploring with a great friend. Her warmth, expertise, and enthusiasm made the tour truly memorable. Highly recommended"
"Catherine is a great host and taught us a lot about the different families of French cheese along the tasting. Place is in a cute little wineshop in a not very known area in Paris, but definately worth a vist. Would recommend this tasting to every cheeselover!"
