A solid food tour offering the classic cuisine and a pleasant walk through the Latin Quarter and St. Germain. The guide was friendly and pleasant. There could have been a bit more history on Julia to add some flavor. I would recommend.

We loved the Julia Child tour! She is such an icon in the cooking world and it was interesting to learn where she lived and dined during her years in Paris. But getting a taste of Julia’s favorite foods was fantastic! Our guide Claire was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Julia Child as well as the extraordinary history of beautiful Paris. We would highly recommend this tour.
