This tour was excellent! Our tour guide, Maria, was wonderful. We felt so comfortable with her. She truly educated us while making the experience incredibly fun. What a great combo of history, culture and food! Would very highly recommend it.
Valeria was very friendly and knowledgeable. She led us through the busy streets of Le marais with ease and we’ve left her with us having gained a much better appreciation for this area of Paris
What fun this was!! We even booked another tour when we were already in Paris. Very nice that the guide is Dutch so that is nice with our kids. Fun explanation with surprising facts and 3 tastings in between. Highly recommended!!
I would say this is mislabeled as a ‘food tour’. This is a historical tour of the area with a little bit of food. The historical information was great. However, I was wanting to eat lots of food with history on the side. We only had 3 items. Other food tours I have done in other cities we had at least 6 items, if not more.
We recently did a walking tour in Paris with guide Robert, and it was a really fantastic experience! From the beginning he captivated us with his enthusiasm, knowledge and sense of humour. His explanation was not only informative, but also very pleasant and smoothly told, which really brought the history of Paris to life. What made this tour extra special was how accessible and involved Robert was. He took the time to answer questions and also provided fun, lesser-known facts that you won't find in a guidebook. An absolute must for anyone who wants to discover Paris in a fun, educational and personal way. Thanks for this great experience!
Super nice tour with Julliete!!! Tasted nice things and also had a lot of info about our further stay in Paris.. recommended!!! Also fun for the kids with a kind of treasure hunt during the tour!!
We had a super fun , informative and tasty walk with Juliette. Very nice to get to know Paris better through a piece of history and fun stories!
Overview of the place de la Republique history and area of the Marais. Juliette was very knowledgeable and treated us to 3 delicious tastings in the area.
Robert led us through the Marais district. Very interesting to hear backgrounds of important monuments and to discover funny finds in the streets. In between tasting local specialties made it complete for me. Think these walks will appeal to a diverse audience, because Robert can fine-tune his information and is a very pleasant guide. Highly recommended!
Juliette was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had wonderful tastings and learned a lot about the area as well as the history of the food we sampled.
