"like many (most?) i signed up for this tour because of the classic, ‘a movable feast’, hemingway’s late-in-life memoir of paris in the 1920’s. i know and enjoy the story. i’ve been to some of the ‘sites’ on previous visits to the city.
what i wanted was to think about how the city was then and try to compare it to the modern mass tourism metropolis we see today.
Isabel and i did more talking about things than looking at things. i’m not philosophic, but my question became, ‘when we do things like visit paris or go on *literary walks* what is it we want out of the experience?’ why am i/we/people doing this?
Isabel got it (i think) and was able to think along with me (again, in my opinion). it was a good talk
i enjoyed the time with Isabel. she’s the real deal: smart, accomplished, an artist and phd candidate. more than qualified. the people running this business are lucky to have her.
if you’re a true hemingway nut, this tour might be a bit of a disappointment. there are some plaques, cobbled streets, plenty of cafes (most not the original) and the wonderful luxembourg gardens (Isabel shared plenty of non-hemmingway paris history too). maybe they could have jazzed the tour up: read selections from the book at different spots, stop for a plate of oysters and a cold, dry white wine (but folks can do that on their own can’t they?)
(as an aside, it is still possible to buy oysters in the area where hemingway lived. they’re sold from open widows on the sidewalk. i wonder if that’s because of the book? his description of that meal has likely sold a lot of shellfish over the years.)
it’s a wonderful book. reading it makes you want to experience paris. the title, ‘a moveable feast’ is such an accurate and succinct description of the city, they should have trademarked it.
for literary types, americans in particular, the romance of ‘the lost generation’ (born out of tragedy and wreckages of ww i) along with the idea of ‘paris in the 1920’s’ will endure. and that’s ok. they have to decide how and why it still matters. this tour can maybe help with that especially with the benefit of a thoughtful guide such as Isabel"

Great experience with Andrea
"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!)"
"Alexia gave us a wonderful tour. She was a gracious host, and planned out some first class restaurants, shops, pastries, and cafes. We loved the area of Ste Germaine that we walked - so much that we went back there the next day. Alexia is very pleasant and we enjoyed her very much. "
"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."
"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
