Jay was such a wonderful guide. He is incredibly engaging and knowledgeable about the local food but also about Parisien history. We learned so much. It was a delight to get off the beaten path and into a local neighborhood and get a glimpse of life away from all the tourist attractions. We enjoyed Jay and his tour very much! Jay is the best!!

We had a great food tour and an authentic French experience with Andrea. Not only did we have great food, we got a nice overview of Paris and the neighborhood we walked through and excellent conversation during the meals. We got way more than 10 tastings and Andrea really catered to what we wanted! Highly recommend! Great food tour

Andrea does an excellent job introducing many traditional French foods (well over the 10 listed) while taking you to quaint French bistros and providing a history of Paris. My husband, teenage daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend to others.Excellent French Overview

Maxime was a great host for our time. He not only treated us to great food and drinks, but he also gave us a lot of insight into the history of Paris and the architecture of the area. My son and I also enjoyed engaging in some philosophical conversations with him (at our instigation; Maxime was not pushy at all). It was just a great experience all around.Terrific experience

Maxime was a fabulous tour guide! He went out of his way for us, waiting for us when we were running late and even helping us catch the metro for our next event! But most of all, he really helped us to see Paris through the eyes of a local person - and he shared some AMAZING food and drinks! We greatly enjoyed learning about the Sentier neighbourhood/Rue Montorgueil area and the lovely shops and restaurants there. Thanks so much, Maxime! We had a wonderful time!Fantastic Guide for Paris!

My wife and I really enjoyed the walking food experience with Gelsomina. She was knowledgeable, engaging and fun. We gave her few restrictions and she really delivered a worthwhile food and culture tour.
My favorite part of the tour was the market. As home cooks I could only dream of having such a resource.
Gelsomina was the best and we’d book with her again without question. Fantastic guide

We love the 10 Taste WithLocals and our time with Maxime was absolutely fantastic. He adjusted his original plan to be closer to our VRBO and introduced us to a neighborhood we have never been to and would have never known to explore. It was fabulous and a fast new favorite in Paris. My husband even went back to one of the bakeries the next morning because we loved it so much.Wonderful Experience

We took the “10 Tastings of Paris” food tour with Gelsomina on our first afternoon in Paris and it was a wonderful introduction to the city. Gelsomina is an amazing guide - she was thoughtful in her food selections, super friendly and easy to talk to. We had a great time, especially my 12-yr old son. I recommend her 100%.Best food tour ever!

My 10 year old and I did a 3hr food tour with Gelsomina! It was the best, she tailored it to all the food options we wanted to experience plus more. We ate at some incredible places in the saint Germaine de pres where we were staying. Along with great foods selections we also got to learn so much about Paris and the Parisian way of life. Gelsomina is such a warm and beautiful person, Highly recommend. Amazing 3hrs

I’ve been to Paris several times but Gelsomina had us trying new foods would've never tried on our own - and we loved (aka Le Merveilleux)! I cannot recommend Gelsomina enough. I hope to be back with my kids and will book another tour with her. Gelsomina is amazing!

We had an incredible day with Nella exploring some of the many hidden gems of Paris! Nella’s friendly nature and engaging conversation made the experience even more enjoyable. Her knowledge of local spots and her passion for sharing Paris’ culinary treasures shone through. She brought us to some fantastic spots for sweets, and we definitely got to feel like a local as many of the locations felt like they were off the beaten path and not touristy at all. Highly recommend this tour with Nella – a true gem in Paris!Amazing experience with Nella

We had a great afternoon/early evening with Alpha tasting our way through parts of Paris. Along the way, we got a good history tour as well. Plus, we enjoyed learning about everyday life in Paris. We highly recommend! The one suggestion that I have is for one less dessert/sweet tasting and substitute another savory tasting. Had we known, we could have requested this. Fun and delicious tour!

Nice tour by a member of the French Blood Bowl champion team. Jay told us some interesting info about the differences between French and American societies. We walked through the daily market in Arr. 12 where we tasted a variety of cheese and meats. We walked to a wine shop where we had our choice of wine and then two different desserts. At the end of the tour we walked to the Place de la Bastille.Charcuterie, wine, dessert and history.

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

My wife and I had nothing but a great experience with Jay. We were running late due to issues with our phone service, and he was willing to wait almost 10 minutes until we arrived at the meeting spot.
He took us to some great food places, which I would describe as offering more authentic Parisian food selections. The food and wine we tried were mind-blowing. As long as you approach it with an open mind and are willing to try different food options, you will have a fantastic time. To end the tour, he took us to an amazing garden in the city that makes you feel like you’re outside of it. Overall, he’s an outstanding guide, and if you have the chance to choose him, I wouldn’t hesitateThe best guide in paris

We scheduled our tour for mid-day as we had just arrived in Paris after an overnight flight. The tour was the perfect way for us to get acclimated to the time change. Wonderful start to our Paris vacation!

So happy we chose to do this food tour with Anukool! He took us to a local neighborhood with deliciously fresh food! From the pastries to the cheese, tepenade and wine to the crepes and quiche- everything was incredible! So incredible that we went back to the same neighborhood's that evening to buy more food for dinner from the same places! Any Koop made it a fabulous day that we will remember forever!

Anukool started our tasting at a local market and gave us the history. The cheese and tamponade were excellent. The desserts and pastries in the local neighborhood were also excellent. Finishing with charcuterie board and crepes provided us with an extensive variety.
He is very personable and knowledgeable in history.

We arrived in Paris after an overnight flight and had a quick nap before meeting Alpha at 5pm.
This was a great way for me and my daughters (18 and 21) to get comfortable with the city. We ate a lot of food while we walked over 10K steps. Alpha kept the girls entertained and answered all their questions.
It was exactly what we needed to stay awake. We brought leftovers back to the hotel and then slept 12 hours straight. Great way to begin our Paris adventure

Andrea certainly knew Paris.
However, there were 2 of us and we paid €169.07 each .
For that we got two macaroons each, a shared plate of charcuterie and 3 glasses of house wine each.
There is no way that adds up to €169.07
Very disappointed

What a wonderful experience with Gelsomina! It was like spending a few hours with a good friend. Great conversation and wonderful, tasty food! She was so well informed and descriptive on the food choices she made on our behalf. We had so many different conversations - not just about food - regarding Paris that shaped the rest of our week. She also remained in touch through the remainder of our time and answered questions and provided direction. My only bit of feedback is it would have been great to have had more walking movement between restaurants but time likely didn’t allow for too long of walks. Thank you Gelsomina!!Fun, informatice and delicious tour!
