Excellent experience! Bakery is nestled down a beautiful street. All employee interactions were friendly and welcoming. We were promptly greeted and given pastries and drinks. Our pastry chef, Sofio was great. She was kind and knowledgeable. Great with our 13 and 11 year old. Gave us historical context about what we were making - Financiers and Baguettes. Walked us through all steps and explained nuances that make baking these items the best they can be. Samples along the way were excellent! We were the only ones in the baking class. A bag full of baguettes and financiers to go at the end. Wonderful from start to finish Completely worth the cost for the experience. Sofio was even kind enough to give us dinner recommendations when we asked. 10/10 recommend
Thank you for such a wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a memorable experience from start to finish. It's fantastic that Sofio made the class engaging for both adults and children, sharing her knowledge, baking tips, and the history behind the recipes. We're also glad you enjoyed the warm welcome, delicious treats, and left with plenty of fresh baguettes and financiers. Thank you for your recommendation, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with Sofio! 😊
This baking tour was everything we hoped for and more. Cute little working bakery. Our instructor, Paula, guided is through the bakery, explaining all the equipment and how it works. She also spent a lot of time introducing us to the history of the baguette and other breads. it was a real cultural experience. Ahands-on experience for sure. We loved manipulating the dough and creating cookies too. Best part, we got to take everything home with us, which we enjoyed for the rest of our trip. If you book this tour, please ask for Paula because she was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed this adventure and are actually still enjoying it a few days later. Yum!

Guide very competent and clear in the explanations
hank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We really appreciate your kind feedback. However, it appears that this review has been posted on the wrong product page. This listing is for a baking class near the Eiffel Tower, not an Eiffel Tower tour. While we’re happy to see that you had a positive experience, the review refers to a different experience and therefore does not accurately reflect the product listed on this page.
It is important to know that nowhere is it mentioned that the guide speaks English only during the booking and on the confirmation like other similar service providers.

Good experience to learn about the history of French breads and pastries, was fun to do this with my friend and would recommended to do this with family or a partner too.

I cannot say enough about this experience. It was perfect from arrival to end. Our guide was informative and taught us so much more than just baking. We learned the history behind many French staples and the regulations around baguettes. She was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this activity!

This was an amazing experience. The kids absolutely loved it. We learned so much and our teacher was so sweet. Even gave us recipes. AAA must do when in Paris.
Sounds like a perfect mix of fun, learning, and a little extra sweetness! We’re especially glad the kids enjoyed it—that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for making us part of your Paris memories!
Kind of a scam. The company doesn’t buy tickets until you go into the security area and there is no guarantee you can get to the summit. Tour guide information was super basic stuff. We ended up not getting to summit with the guide, a refund was offered but takes 5-7 days to receive it. We went back down on our own, bought summit tickets on our own and went immediately to the top. Bad experience, would not recommend this group at all
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. However, it appears that this review was posted on the incorrect product page. The page where this review was submitted is for our Bakery Tour, not an Eiffel Tower tour. The comments in the review therefore do not relate to the experience offered on this product page. As the review concerns a completely different experience, we kindly ask that you remove it from this listing. Thank you for your understanding.
The woman conducting the experience was great. The space and the operations are not suited to be running this type of business. It’s a very busy, operational bakery. The staff, understandably, doesn’t really want you there. After a short while, we didn’t want to be there either. Interesting experience, fun for kids, but I would pick another version of the same thing somewhere else.
Shahadra, the guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Lots of information about thd tower etc.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We noticed that your feedback may have been intended for our Eiffel Tower tour rather than the Paris Baking Experience, but we’re absolutely delighted to hear you had such a wonderful time. Shahadra is indeed a fantastic guide, and she’ll be so happy to know that you appreciated her knowledge and the insights she shared about the tower. Thank you again for touring with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure soon!
