We greatly enjoyed this food and wine tour through the Parisian foodie mecca of Marais. Our guide, Betsy, was excellent. In addition to leading us to great wining and dining stops, she provided value-adding insider commentary. We had some mobility-challenged participants and Betsey modified a few things on the fly to make things work more smoothly for them, while working fine for the rest of us as well. It was a lot of being on the go, so we were happy to to be able to stay put for a while at the concluding location. Highly recommended.
This tour was FANTASTIC! We tasted a lot of foods - there was more than enough to eat; we tasted several wines; the small group we were with made it so pleasurable; our tour guide, Betsy, was excellent. She was kind, considerate, knowledgeable and professional.
Lucia was the absolute best tour guide! She is very knowledgeable about the history and the culture! I would do this tour again and I would especially do another tour with Lucia!
So much fun! Betsy took us through Paris, shared all the great history, while taking is on a culinary journey touching on several different neighborhoods. Highly recommend this tour and Betsy as a guide! She knows her stuff for sure
Betsy was absolutely amazing! Our food tour with her was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. We enjoyed incredible beef bourguignon, delicious French cheeses, fresh bread, and some truly wonderful wines — everything was fantastic! What really made the experience special, though, was Betsy. She was warm, engaging, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend time with. As we walked through Paris, she shared fascinating history and stories about the neighborhoods, buildings, and landmarks we passed, which made the tour so much more than just a food experience. It was the perfect combination of amazing French food, wine, history, and great company. We learned a lot, ate VERY well, drank VERY well, and had an absolute blast doing it! 😂🍷🇫🇷 If you’re visiting Paris and want an experience that goes beyond the typical sightseeing tour, we highly recommend booking a food tour with Betsy. She made our time in Paris even more memorable. Merci beaucoup, Betsy!
Great tour by Betsy through the Marais. Learned a lot, ate a lot, drank some, too. Recommended without equivocation.
This was hands down one of the best experiences we had in Paris! Betsy was absolutely fantastic—fun, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a joy to spend time with. The food was amazing, and for the price, the amount and quality of what we experienced was incredible. What really made the tour special was that it went far beyond the food. Betsy brought Paris to life through its history and architecture, giving us a whole new appreciation for the city as we walked. We ate, learned, laughed, and had an absolute blast. Truly a highlight of our time in Paris. Cannot recommend this tour—or Betsy—highly enough
Betsy was amazing! I learned more than I expected on our tour and she took us to so many wonderful places. You could tell she put so much time and thought into our tour. She also took special care of my daughter who has a peanut and tree nut allergy and that meant the world to us. I would highly recommend Betsy!!
Betsy was an amazing guide! She kept me entertained and engaged the whole time! As a “food tour”, receiving an abundance of history of the area as well was such an amazing extra! Thank you!
We had the best experience with Betsy. She gave us so much knowledge about the culture and setting on our tour. We finished at one of the old buildings in Paris tasting wine and cheese at Vinosfera.
