Lots of talking and standing and after 90 minutes and a shortbread cookie handed to us from a bag, a caramel and a macaroon, we decided to go find our own entertainment. It’s just not interesting enough to stand on the sidewalk and listen to him talk. I wanted to taste food. Maybe the rest of the trip was better but the first 90 minutes wasn’t and I walked away from all the money paid and found my own cuisine.

Great food tour. Native Parisienne Nana was charming and informative. She provided insight into some of the nuances of French food and food merchants.

This food tour was amazing. I took my 10 year old daughter and she had a blast as well. Leo was very knowledgable and created a great experience. I would do this exact tour again.

Nana was an excellent tour guide. We ended up with our own private tour and we really enjoyed it. We were initially concerned about a three+ hour commitment but the time flew and we had a great time. It was the perfect combination and amount of food, too, and I appreciated how they accommodated the non- meat eaters of the group.

The Secret Food Tour was a must do according to our Travel Advisor and it certainly did not disappoint. Leo arrived, immaculately dressed in vintage clothes which added to the conversations and created the right atmosphere.
Although the weather was damp, our enthusiasm was high and we were amazed by the history of the area, the shops, and the food which we sampled.
Arriving at our final destination we sat down for a meal including the items that Leo had acquired from many of the shops we visited. His explanations and history lessons were so enthralling that we consumed each portion of the meal with a new perspective and gained a better understanding of French food.
This tour is a must do for anyone visiting Paris.

A nice twist to a tour that really ends up being a full meal in a restaurant with plenty of delicious wine! Leo was an excellent tour guide!

We had the best experience with Stephane. I have done many such tours and this was one of the best. He was a fanatic and very knowledgeable guide, telling us about all the things we would try and why and about the St. Germain Area too. We got to sample several of the best caramels, fabulous chocolates, he took us to the famous Poliane bread where we laughed because our friend carried all five loaves, and was happy to do so - it felt very Parisian. We sampled unusual special flavors of macarons at another place and a wonderful fromagerie. He very clearly explained all the spots we would be making stops at, then we were treated to a delicious lunch (taking into account two of us being vegetarians), that included some of the items we picked up along the way and dishes from the Basque restaurant. There was champagne, white and red wine, dessert and we lingered asking Stephane questions beyond our allotted time. He encouraged us to ask anything, even sharing about the school lunch system which is fascinating. He had two assistants in training with him who were both knowledgeable and lovely. There was a couple on the tour from Dallas that ordered food at the restaurant then left before it even arrived without telling any of us or the guide then wrote a bad review. Please know that this is a delightful experience and maybe if they had stayed they would have realized how nice the lunch was and a special opportunity to socialize.

Marie's a charming and knowledgeable guide and we had a great time learning about the neighbourhood and sampling artisanal bread, caramels and macarons along the way. The 5 course lunch with paired wines at Osaba was delicious and gave the group a chance to share stories and get to know each other. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic tour this week with Stephane in the St Germain district of Paris. He was an insightful, thoughtful and very knowledgeable guide whose goal it was to introduce us to Parisian food culture. I attended with my two children- one teen and one little one. He was funny and insightful and we learned so much! Like: who don’t the French put bread on their plates, about foie gras, cheeses, French culture, customs, etc. . . My kids and I loved him and loved the food as well. The tour group itself was a mix- there were some great people who were fun and lively and also a real drag of a couple who seemed miserable and like they weren’t really open to the experience. I felt badly for the tour guide because they just abruptly left with no explanation after ordering their food. It was really rude and understandably distressing for our guide. We made up for it and had a wonderful time after they left! Lots of great food and interesting conversation was had by all. I highly recommend this tour and this guide if you want a real Parisian cultural experience with a great guide!
