We always try to book a culinary tour when we visit a city or region for the first time. Some have been good, some have been average, never have we experienced a poor tour. And this tour kept that streak alive. It was fabulous.
Our tour guide Lulu had a wonderful balance of imparting knowledge about the region’s culinary delights along with a balanced overview of the history of the region. The small artisan shops we visited would have been impossible to suss out on our own and each was so worth the visit. What was also unexpected and very appreciated was rather than sampling the wares of each shop in place, Lulu gathered the meats and cheeses and presented them as a charcuterie board at the wine cave on the tour.
Obviously this is the only culinary tour we have been on in the Paris region so we do not know if it is the best, but we can say we could see no obvious ways our tour could have been improved.

Fun tour! You get to try a lot of foods that are popular with the locals. Our favorite stop was Lemon Story! Would not recommend this tour if you have small children! There are a lot of steep hills, stairs, uneven pavement, and walking! There was a couple that had 2 small children with them in a stroller on our tour. They were wonderful, but the parents looked like they were tortured by the end of the tour. I felt so bad for them! I would 100% recommend this for tweens, teens, and adults though!

The food was great and the views were amazing. Accommodated to the different food allergies. And tried things I normally wouldn’t and enjoyed.

My husband and I did the Montmarte tour with Claire a couple of weeks ago. This was our last activity after a weeklong stay in Paris. Of everything we did during our trip, I felt that this tour gave us the best glimpse into what it could look like to actually live in Paris. This is so much more than a food tour - we learned about history, culture, traditions, etc of the city. Unfortunately we had a cold and rainy day, but I still thought the pace was comfortable and the day was pleasant. The tour consists mostly of popping into different shops and purchasing small foods - bread, cheese, meats, etc. We also sampled some baked goods during this time. Eventually, we sat down at a small restaurant where all of our purchases were arranged into a charcuterie and cheese plate and we ate this along with samples of wines. The format gave us the chance to chat with shop owners and the owner of the restaurant in a relaxed and informal way. The food was plentiful - we weren’t able to finish everything. But, we never felt uncomfortable like I have on some food tours. We finished by wandering around Montmarte and our guide ended the tour by leaving us on the steps of Sacre coure where we were able to continue on our own. I truly loved this tour and hope to repeat in other parts of the city when we return to Paris.
