Jonny was an excellent tour guide who went out of his way to give us the best macaron experience ever. We learned about the origins and history, but also about the history of Saint-Germain and some of its most infamous residents. Each of the patisseries we visited were all friendly and delightful. We actually decided to return to our favorite and bought several macarons to take back home.

We really enjoyed our tour with Johnny. He knew a lot of history about the area which was an added bonus. We would definitely do this tour again the next time we’re in Paris. Fun for all ages!

This was such a great experience. Jonny is so knowledgeable and kind. The tasting was fun and we loved his judging sheet. I especially appreciated all of the history he shared. My 10-year-old said this was the best thing we did in Paris.
