My family loved the tour. Margot was a wonderful tour guide- so sweet and informative. We loved all the food tastings and walking around St. Germaine. Highly recommend.
Excellent tour. A bit of history. Casual and fun. Rachel was great. The worst thing is that this review requires a minimum about of text to be accepted.
It was hot (40 degrees!) but our guide, Johana, made it really fun experience and the food was delicious. highly recommended!
We thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops on the tour, we were able to try a very wide variety of French desserts! Our tour guide also included a couple of savory stops on the tour which were an excellent palette cleanser and ended up being two of our favorite stops, an oil and vinegar shop where we got to learn all about olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and a spice shop. Our tour guide also included local history along with food history, and even took the time to stop at a church that our group was interested in. He also made sure that we had a couple of stops to fill our water bottles because it was very hot outside, and that was very appreciated!
Vence was an amazing guide, full of Parisien knowledge. We could not have found all the wonderful secret stores, lanes and churches of Paris, without his expert guidance. Would highly recommend.
Due to an injury with another family member we were a few minutes late. They waited for us and I really appreciated that. The tour guide was fantastic. She was a private chef and not only shared her love of food with us, but her knowledge, tips, recipes and sent us on our way with restaurant tips for both Paris and our upcoming trip to Rome. Everything we tasted was amazing. I'm not a chocolate person usually but I found myself wanting more. Every sample was delicious and having the ability to taste several before committing to one was an extra perk I wasn't expecting. Definitely do this tour. You won't regret it.
Letty was a wonderful guide and the tour was outstanding!
If you want to experience all different sweets of Paris this is the tour for you ! It had a great variety of sweets plus the history of St. Germain area !
You definitely want to go on this tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history of chocolate in Paris. He was so patient with us, and helping with directions after the tour was over. I really enjoyed all the places we visited on this tour.
The tour was a big disappointment. I picked this tour because I had read the reviews and they were glowing- everyone mentioned 1 of 2 guides both of whom were incredibly knowledgeable, fun and informative. We got someone who seemed very inexperienced and not very good at keeping the group engaged or informed. We learned very little about the area we walked through. The tour started off on a bad note. We had to wait 30 minutes for a late comer, even tho the rest of us were there 10 minutes early as the website and all the reminder emails had told us to be. then when we finally started, we had to wait again at the first store for the person who finally showed up 45 minutes late! The group was very unhappy at being put out for the irresponsible person who couldn’t be bothered to show up on time. when our displeasure at waiting was expressed, the guide didn’t have a response other than, I will call the late comer again? We also walked incredibly slowly, because there was one person in the group who was old and infirm. Why would you sign up for a 3 hour walking tour if you can’t walk? Again, there was a lot of grumbling by the group about the painful pace we had to keep, and the guide said, well, we have to walk at her pace. So all in all I would definitely not recommend this tour, and wouldn’t book with Get your guide again. The tasting were primarily of chocolate and they were good, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Dear Lauri, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. As this is a shared group experience, our guides occasionally allow a short grace period for late-arriving guests who are actively trying to reach the meeting point. Likewise, the pace of the tour must accommodate all participants, regardless of age or mobility, to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience. We are also disappointed that the guide's style did not resonate with you. All of our guides are trained to deliver the tour, though each naturally brings their own personality and approach. Thank you for sharing your comments, which we will take into consideration as we continue to improve our experiences. Kind regards, The OFT team
