We really enjoyed our tour. We tasted some amazing food as well as learning about the Montematre area and Paris more generally. We tasted a wide variety of pastries and chocolate as well as some cheese and wine. The opportunity to sit down and enjoy the cheese, wine and charcuterie gave us a good chance to talk to others on the tour. The tour lasted just over three hours which people should factor into their planning.

It was awesome! I recommend! Our guide was super nice and even if I came from the country I learned a lot! On the bad side, which isn't about the tour at all: some other tourists (from the states) were a little rude and weren't eating the plates given so i don't really the point in coming if you're not willing to try stuff out... in a FOOD TOUR? Anyways i recommend a lot! :D

We undertook a number of tours while in Paris and this was one of our favourites. The tour guide, Julie, was incredible and gave excellent and interesting insights on the area, foods and drinks, sharing her love of the area with the rest of us. The food and wine was spectacular and I know that we will be revisiting this area and shops next time we go to Paris.

Exceptional tour! In spite of the rain this was the best tour we took on our recent trip to Paris. Knowledgeable local tour guide with excellent English took us to 5 shops we would never have found on our own. Felt like a local friend taking us to his favorite places with a bit of history mixed in. Our teenagers loved it too!

Our guide was great and we enjoyed food and touring Montmartre.
