This was booked for a Sunday afternoon but most of the places we were meant to be taken to were closed. The guide said he would feed that back but it was a little late for us. It was a very disappointing tour. I wrote to complain but heard nothing back. I have been on other tours and they have been very good. Just be aware, do not book on a Sunday, however they should not be made available either.

The guide was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pace of the tour was slow and our guide gave us a lot of history of buildings we passed in between tastings. A suggestion to add more detail to the meeting spot as I had trouble finding it.(I was in the correct spot but didn't know) I rang the company to verify it. The foods we tasted were fantastic, both sweet amd savoury.

Hugo was an amazing guide. The laces he took us to were so delicious. We will definitely recommend the tour and especially Hugo to friends visiting Paris.

We take food tours for the food and the company. On this tour my husband and I were the only participants and would have canceled had we known. In fact, I’m surprised the company didn’t cancel the tour. Our guide was good, but the food experience was very chintzy…a few pastries spread across the area, a few small tastings that I could have received if I walked in from the street, and the last stop a “meal” that was a cheese platter. Compared to other food tours, I would not recommend this poor showing from a city famous for its food.
