We scheduled this tour as both A birthday celebration and a bonjour Paris celebration. Being amateur cooks we were curious to see Paris from the viewpoint of local. The tour was more than we could’ve asked for. The food experience was wonderful, but the best part of all was our tour guide Gelsomina. She is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and was able to provide not only food related information, but history and culture. A wonderful experience. Think she should have her own TV program to promote Paris and Parisian food. Would highly recommend to anybody interested in food, history, culture, and general knowledge. Definitely a high point of our entire trip.Phenomenal experience superior guide

Gelsomina was highly knowledgeable and professional. She shared information about Paris and Parisian food that helped deepen our understanding of the culture and experience. The places she chose were all within a nice walking distance with a variety and were things we wouldn’t have necessarily chosen on our own. Great way to try something new with an individualized experience. Gelsomina also gave us tips on how to see some common attractions in Paris with some crowd minimization which came in handy later.

My family of 4, including 2 preteens, had an amazing experience with Thomas. He curated our 10 bites to eat based on our wishes and brought us to beautiful
locations. We really appreciated the historical knowledge shared and the quick access documents that came out of his backpack to help share this knowledge. Highly recommend this engaging and charming guide! Amazing culinary experience with Thomas

We had the pleasure of spending time with Alexia during our stay in Paris, and she was truly fantastic. From the moment we met, she made everything feel easy and welcoming, especially as we were traveling with children.
She helped us navigate local menus and order authentic French dishes we might have otherwise missed (escargot & desert & now the kiddos only order lemonade which is more like American sprite)! She was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, always making sure the kids felt included and engaged. Whether it was finding the right place to eat, helping translate with warmth and patience, or sharing local insights along the way, Alexia was a total gem! Absolutely wonderful!
Her kindness, professionalism, and local knowledge made our Paris experience even more special with a local. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personable, family-friendly, and genuinely helpful guide in the city!Absolute Gem!

Our family (Grandpa, Grandma, daughter-in-law and four grand-kids) enjoyed our experience with Gelsomina tremendously. She was engaging with the kids, patient, knowledgeable and creative as we toured a Paris neighborhood and enjoyed tasting at various eating establishments.

I cannot say enough about our time spent walking the streets of Paris with G! She hosted our group of 7, including our four kids, with ease. She was so thoughtful in every place we stopped in for a bite and engaged us all in conversation about daily life, traditions and history. We snacked our way through an open air market, ate fruit on the street, and wandered in and out of chocolate shops and bakeries along the way. This tour left me wishing for more time in Paris... I cannot recommend it enough! The BEST day!

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.

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.

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

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

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!
