Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Anukool was an amazing host who gave us great historical information, told us all about the food of the city and answered all of our questions. It was great that he took the time to sit with us and enjoy the food, it felt like eating with a new friend! The amount of food was incredible, definitely get more than your moneys worth! Strongly recommend this tour!"
"Andrea is passionate about meeting people and providing a great food tasting experience. We felt very comfortable spending time together, and discussing the history and significance of all the places we visited. More than just moving from place to place to eat, Andrea is very open to discussing the specifics of what you are seeing and Paris in general. I was reminded of a famous quote. "Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another." Your time with Andrea will be well spent (and you will eat a ton of food too!)"
"While the quality of food samples shared on the tour were good the venues left much to be desired. It was awkward trying to enjoy the different foods while standing on the street. Also would have enjoyed hearing more about the details of the preparation of the different kinds of foods."
"Wonderful and unforgettable experience! Iza was lovely, and very interesting and informative about the area as well as the food. The tastings were inventive and well thought out. The Marché St Germain was incredible. I think the sweets and cheeses were our favorites but we all tried something new and had a really fun time. Iza took extra time to personalize the tour because we had one person with us who wasn’t as able to walk longer distances and we really appreciated it. "

"Iza was a wonderful guide on our two tours in Paris. My husband and I had the privilege of spending most of the day with her with two tours. She was knowledgeable about the history of Paris and made our learning of different parts of the city fun and interesting. Iza also provided us with many recommendations for must see attractions, shopping ideas and restaurants. We had a great day with Iza and would highly recommend her to show you her favourite parts of Paris as she showed us "
"My wife and I spent three educational and fun hours eating and drinking our way through Saint Germain with Gelsomina as our guide. She was a true delight! Her knowledge and knack for choosing foods and places for us to stop was spot on! Don’t miss an opportunity to do a food tour with Gelsomina if you are in Paris."
"We did the tour on a public holiday, and he was the one who guided us through different streets and places. Along the way and during the tastings, we came to understand a bit more about the culture—not just the culinary side, but also the daily life of the people and their view of the world. He was very patient with his explanations, as English is not our native language. The food was abundant, delicious, and varied "
"Our food tour was wonderful. Even though we’d been in the neighborhood for most of our trip, she took us places that were still new. Very very knowledgeable, the right pace, right flavors, and just a wonderful experience. "
"We did a 3 hour food/tasting tour of the Saint-Germain des pres area with Alexia and enjoyed it very much! We got to see and hear about many places that we would have never discovered on our own. Alexia was very knowledgeable about the area, was an engaging speaker, and asked about our preferences to ensure we were all interested in the things that she covered during the tour. I have already recommended her to two other families who are travelling in Paris this summer, and would definitely seek her out for another tour the next time we are there."
