Our guide, Coco was outstanding! Friendly knowledgeable, flexible funny, and energetic. Gave us a fantastic tour of the food scene in Montmartre as well as a fantastic surprise meal at the end.

We had the pleasure of having Kaitlyn as our tour guide. She was truly accommodating to my wife and I, along with a family with small children that were on the floor with us. She was very knowledgeable and knew how to make the tour fun for adults and kids. The food was tasty, even though it was out of my normal palate range! I would definitely recommend a tour with Kaitlyn again!

Amazing tour! We did this tour day of arrival and luckily we came hungry! Our guide was knowledgeable, personable and engaging throughout the entire experience. We enjoyed walking the area and visiting local bakeries, restaurants and food stands. We then proceeded to sit down to enjoy 13 different combinations of meats& cheeses with traditional baguette! And of course a variety of wines to go with the “small plates.” We left full and happy! Our guide explained the foods, the history and fun facts throughout. Highly recommended.
We’re glad the day gave you something to enjoy. There’s always more to discover once you get beyond the main sights, and we hope Secret Food Tours helped you find some of it. Thanks for joining us!
This is a MUST-DO tour when visiting Paris! Our tour guide, Louis-Francois, was the best! He was high energy, knowledgeable about the area and about the food, and was so friendly! He did an excellent job introducing us to some of the best places to go for macarons, crepes, bread, and cheese! Everything tasted SO good! Not only was the food amazing, we also learned a lot about the history of the Montmarte area of Paris. We had the best time and would definitely do it again!
