Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our experience on The 10 Tastings of Paris: Saint-Germain tour with Paolo was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, his passion for Paris was evident, and his knowledge brought the neighborhood to life in a way that made the tour truly special. Paolo has a fabulous flair for food, art, architecture, and history, and he seamlessly combined all of these elements throughout our walk in the 6th arrondissement. Each tasting was thoughtfully selected, and his stories and insights added so much depth and context to the experience. What we especially appreciated was how openly Paolo shared aspects of French culture and everyday life. His enthusiasm and genuine love for the city made every stop engaging and memorable. We felt like we were exploring Paris with a knowledgeable local friend rather than simply taking a tour. If you're looking for an experience that blends outstanding food with fascinating history, beautiful architecture, and authentic cultural insights, Paolo is the perfect guide. We highly recommend this tour and would gladly book another experience with him."
"Gelsomina is by far the best food tour guide we have had to date. Her kind demeanor was evident right from the get go when she helped us navigate the metro to our meeting point. The classic Parisian food we had was so amazingly delicious (crepes, quiche, pastries, oysters, escargot, cheese, wine, etc) - we could not have asked for a better first experience of true Paris cuisine. Throughout the tour, Gelsomina provided wonderful historical, social or current event insight; really providing a sense of the culture of the area. She also offered us several options to navigate through the city to fit in our must see spots for our one day trip. We could not recommend Gelsomina enough. You would be missing out to book any other guide. 15 out of 10 stars!"

"We had the best tour with Paolo! It was myself, my husband and two children, aged 7 and 10. He was very sweet and accommodating for all of us, especially given my son’s food allergies. He took us to some amazing food spots, and also other interesting stores that I would’ve never found if I have been looking on my own. He’s also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the history of Paris and current events. I would highly recommend him, and when we come back to Paris, we hope to look him up again and book another tour. "
"Our holiday ended with a quick return to Paris and Paolo made it extra special. He shared his insights on food, life in Paris and how to enjoy the great tastes of Paris. We visited St Germaine and enjoyed that lively neighborhood while we tasted macaroons, charcuterie, spices, quiche and more. Paolo shared many stories and made the experience very memorable. I would recommend this tour. "
"Izabele is a great guide! I chose her because our young adult daughters traveled with us and I thought she may have insight into shopping and other similar interests. YES! She gave us insider tips for the Dior Museum and other excursions, both in person and a follow up text with details. She is very informative & helpful and our tour with her was almost MORE food than we could eat! Highly recommend Iza!"
"Isabelle was fantastic. She provided a great tour and deftly personalized her response when my husband shared his perspective on Hemingway and his writings. Her depth of knowledge and perspective was excellent. We were dragging a bit, and she adjusted the pacing and still got us to the end. It was my husband’s favorite experience in Paris and lovely to have a personal tour."
"We truly enjoyed our afternoon tour with Jay! The stops at various sites along with the historical background on the different tastings made this a standout tour for our family! We highly recommend this tastings tour to any friends traveling and looking for a great guide!"
"Thank you Alexia for 2 wonderful food tours! You are warm and charming, clearly love Paris, and answered all of our question s. Thank you for sharing your beautiful city with us. We highly recommend!!!"
"DO NOT schedule with anyone else. Paolo made our food tour absolutely perfect, going above and beyond in every way."
"We spent a very nice afternoon with Ali, enjoying excellent sweets, he is very informative and nice to chat! We highly recommend Ali's tour!"
