Ali was great. He was very knowledgeable and took care of everything. He picked us up at the hotel and dropped us in the evening. Mont st Michel was breathtaking! I recommend using his services for every tour you want to take. I suggest wearing comfortable shoes because you will do a lot of walking. Don’t pass up this opportunity because it is a once in a lifetime experience!!Loved it!!

We loved our Mountmarte tasting, walking tour for 3 reasons:
1- Alexia, what a gem! And a true local, she was knowledgeable and gave us so many experiences we would never have known on our own.
2- the tastes! Again, nothing we would have known to try as visitors, and new and different things then i’ve tried before. Great balance of sweet and savory.
3-Anecdotes and history, alongside incredible views and sights. Incredible way to experience the city!
I would not hesitate to book a tour with Alexia; the perfect way to get to know a new city! Lovely!

Alexia was a delight as she toured us through the charming neighborhood of Montmartre. She made sure to cater the experience to our tastes and was full of stories of the different areas we walked through. She knew the best spots to stop for a little snack (an amazing pastry shop and chocolatier!) and was a huge help in asking for recommendations for the duration of our Paris trip. Alexia is a tremendously thoughtful and knowledgeable guide and we enjoyed our time with her thoroughly!A wonderful tour of Montmartre!!

Alex had a wonderful itinerary planned for us. She sent me about 5 options to choose from and I picked one that ended in and around the neighborhood where we were staying. I also let her know we love food! It was great to be able to tailor our tour to our interests. She took us to a handful of sweets shops with different delicacies along with a shop for us to purchase good pate and cheese. We got a lot of history along the way and got to see a few hidden gems as well. She talked with each of us individually as we walked. She gave us suggestions for the rest of our stay...many of which we have checked off our list. We loved our tour with Alex!Grest walking tour

Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect blend of traditional flavors and hidden gems. From flaky croissants to decadent chocolates, each bite was a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Paris. Yet, what truly elevated this experience was our guide’s warmth, enthusiasm, and insider anecdotes that brought Montmartre’s history to life.Hidden Gems: Extraordinary Local Guide

Lieber Paul, herzlichen Dank für die wunderbare Zeit mit Dir auf dem Montmartre. Wir haben gemeinsam sehr lecker gegessen, bezaubernde Ecken der Stadt erkundet, und vor allem, wir haben einen aufmerksamen und gewinnenden Menschen kennengelernt.
Primetime with Paul. Das empfehlen wir gerne weiter.

Thank you so much Alexia for this FoodTour!
It was a real pleasure to do the “South” foodtour, really, really gourmet 😍
The quantities are very generous and above all, it's so good!
Big +1 to the Niçoise pissaladière, enjoyed over a good beer in the Canal Saint Martin district, and to the Portuguese specialties. We're really traveling around the Mediterranean! Tunisia, Lebanon, Portugal, Côte d'Azur, Italy....
I'm rediscovering this lively neighborhood full of good things
Alexia's smiles and great anecdotes at our stops ☺️...
I can't recommend it enough!

Alexia took our family on an incredible food tour. She really took the time to explain the food culture and history of the Strasbourg-St.Denis neighborhood; it was wonderful and I felt like we really got to learn so much about the city. She was also incredibly kind to our small kids, and flexible with them - we all had a great time and learned a lot. She also gave us wonderful food recommendations for us to explore during the rest of our stay. It was the highlight of our trip to Paris!The highlight of our trip to Paris!

It was nice to not have to navigate myself. It’s definitely worth it to have a private guide. We will use Ali again if we return Paris!We had a great day with Ali

I hired Paul Bagnulo with 7t to create my logo. Since then he has provided me with multiple iterations of it for use in web production as well as in print. His use of my own creative work in the digital animations of my logo was particularly impressive...I continue to use them on a regular basis.
Most recently, Paul assisted me with the creation of a one of a kind etched and cut metal business card which has proven to be an attention grabber and a great point of reference for potential clients.
Paul's attention to details that I didn't even know existed and his foresight into what is needed to efficiently and expertly see a project through has impressed me every time I've worked with him.Recommendations

Ali was great and was flexible when we were a bit late with Uber troubles, and also with my 75 year old mother in law's limited mobility to set the pace for her to keep up (which is why we got a private and not group tour). The only suggestion is that I wish there were more savory stops as it was a little on the sweet heavy side.Great private tour for mobility issues

Please truly disregard previous comments, as the other group had certain other challenges through the day of heavy heat, walking and being tired
Loved the variety and the commentary of the history of food

We had the pleasure of exploring Paris with Ali, and it was an unforgettable experience. His knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems is unparalleled. Not only was he incredibly informative, but he also made the tour fun and engaging. ( even in the rain)
One thing that really stood out was his flexibility. He tailored the tour to our interests and ensured we got to see all the must-visit sites as well as some hidden treasures that we wouldn't have discovered on our own.
From iconic landmarks to charming gardens, museums, and libraries, Ali provided a comprehensive overview of Paris past and present. His passion for the city was evident in every detail he shared.
I highly recommend Ali as a tour guide for anyone visiting Paris You won't just see the city; you'll truly experience it in all its richness and diversity. Charming and interesting

What an enjoyable, relaxing day exploring hidden gems with Ali!! Ali was very patient with 4 American women — took us to great spots on a well-planned route filed with lots of different experiences. He was knowledgeable but didn’t overwhelm us! Great experience! Thank you Ali.

The description and published pictures of activity very misleading . It was described as evening in Paris under twilights .. see Paris at night . !!
Buyer beware it is impossible to see Paris at night as sun goes down so late in summer .
Yet they book it anyway .
Guide was very good under circumstances but very dismal tour.. I am hoping for a refund !!

I scheduled our 10 Tastings of Paris guided walking tour with Ali specifically at the beginning of our 10 days in Paris and that turned out to be a top decision. It was a super way to get orientated to Paris and start the food adventure.
Ali is a really nice and genuine person with a great knowledge of Paris and food of course. He is extremely helpful and offered for us to reach out to him at any stage if we needed a bit of Paris guidance, or restaurant recommendations.
Being introduced to Paris and France by way of the food experience was a perfect introduction which I would recommend to anyone.
Thank you Ali.
We definitely recommend this food tour!

Amazing experience. Fully reliable counterpart, replied to all queries beforehand, good ideas and suggestions on taking the tour. Opt for Segways! I had so much doubt - was perfect, by far better than bikes. We did not even notice time elapsing. Two hours was short. Would not mind going longer! Stops and pics whenever opportunity came by.
