26 April 2025

Wonderful and unforgettable experience! Iza was lovely, and very interesting and informative about the area as well as the food. The tastings were inventive and well thought out. The Marché St Germain was incredible. I think the sweets and cheeses were our favorites but we all tried something new and had a really fun time. Iza took extra time to personalize the tour because we had one person with us who wasn’t as able to walk longer distances and we really appreciated it. An amazing evening to remember!

Our group had a great afternoon with Paolo. He shared a lot about the history of the area that we’d have never known. He had a very easy going personality. The tour was relaxed and fun, and of course he took us to some fantastic places for local food. The 3 hrs flew by and we all left very satisfied with the experience. Food tour in Saint Germain

From the moment we met, Gelsomina was engaging and a wealth of information. My BFF and I (in our 70’s) were joined by my niece and her BEF (in their mid 20’s) for the 10 tastings of Paris tour. Gelsomina made it fun and appealed to all our interests, and the food - quiche, macaroons, crepes, escargot, etc was delicious! She easily accommodated my nieces gluten free requirements. This tour was a highlight of our 10 days in Paris! Gelsomina also provided restaurant recommendations prior to our arrival so that we could make reservations for which we are thankful! Delightful day with Gelsomina

26 December 2024

My family of 5 recently had a food tasting tour of Saint-Germain with our tour guide, Alpha. There was a slight hiccup with the meeting time so our tour started an hour late, but once it began, Alpha was a very gracious guide. She took us to many local establishments in Saint-Germain to sample classic French foods such as macarons, escargots, chocolate, cheeses, pastries and wine. We did not need to eat dinner after the tour, that's for sure. In fact, we went to places that I had on my Paris wish list (such as Le Bon Marche) so I was able to check a few off my list early. We enjoyed our tour very much, and would certainly recommend booking Alpha if you are interested in getting a taste of Paris.Food Tour of Saint-Germain

We had the best time with Gelsomina and discovering St. Germain! It is now our favorite spot in Paris and we can’t wait to go back. She was extremely knowledgeable and basically gave us a food and history tour. She was patient with questions and we felt like she was a part of our family for the day. We are heading back to Paris this summer and can’t wait to book with her again!Amazing

(About local Paolo)

20 October 2024

Paolo was easy going and very informative. Our tour was about getting a small taste of Paris. We were so impressed that Paolo not only took us to the expected places to taste macaroons, chocolates, wine and charcuterie but also to some other less known delights of Paris such as species, olive oils, jams and my favourite meringues topped with chocolate. On top of this we received commentary of the architecture and history of Paris. Paolo was also great in helping plan our others activities to ensure we got the best out of our day. The tour was a Father’s Day gift for my husband and he had a very memorable day, thank you so much Paolo.

From chocolate makers to charcuteries, everything was a new flavor for us to enjoy. The stroll through gorgeous parks and buildings was a real treat too.

Anukool was an awesome guide as he brought us around the neighborhood of St. Germain on a rainy afternoon. He introduced us to many sweets/pastries as well as savory crepes. We also sampled cheeses and meats along with wine. Throughout the tour he showed us St. Sulpice church and the Luxembourg Gardens as well, giving us history and commentary along the way. He is very pleasant, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend any tour with Anukool! Excellent Tour of St. Germsin des Pres

Alpha was a fantastic guide for exploring food and drink in Paris. She met us at our hotel and introduced us to the 5th and 6th Arrondissements and its food. Her tasting stops were varied and of excellent quality. We were quite stuffed at the end of the tour. The tasting tour with Alpha far exceeded our expectations.Outstanding tasting tour in Paris

Thanks to Anukool’s enthusiasm for the city of Paris and its food culture, we started our week there with some great recommendations for what to eat and where to visit. From artisanal chocolate to escargots, he took us to so many smaller, family owned spots in Saint Germain that were not in the least “touristy” but always delicious. Since it was just the two of us, he was able to answer questions about many things in addition to food. Always patient and with a fun spirit, Anukool helped us love Paris from day one!Perfect start to our week in Paris

The food tour gave three people in my party food poisoning. The only people that got ill were the people that ate the same item on the tour so we know it was the food tour. I would suggest in the future that the restaurants are screen more throughly. I picked this company because I wanted a genuine experience however it still needs to be professional and safe.Good Tour but Bad Outcome

My sister, myself and our two 16 year olds had a wonderful, relaxed, friendly morning with Gelsomina. We chatted, tried a wide variety of food and walked around the St Germain area. Gelsomina was careful about checking dietary requirements and adjusted for our vegetarian. Portions were very good, don’t eat first! Our 16s both enjoyed the experience very much as did their mums. Thank you Gelsomina, this was a perfect start to our Paris break. Lovely morning

We just arrived the day of the tour from Canada and we were a bit tired but we really enjoyed Jay’s tour and company. He’s very polite, knowledgeable and you can easily tell how much he loves history as much as we do. He gave us an overview of the area and made us try all kinds of goodies. I’d definitely used this company again and advice booking with Jay. One word of advice, I’d add some kind of a drink to go with the food.Great tour with a great guide.
