Pierre was great and very informative. Loved his thick French accent!
Highlight of our tour. It was French food 2.0, such an unexpected twist! Sasha was delightful and talked about her passion for French food and anything Paris! We even went back to a few places for more on our own. Despite drizzly November weather all in our group loved the tour and nobody walked away hungry! Highly recommend. This was our fourth/fifth time to Paris and it made the trip memorable.
Our guide Margot was fantastic! She shared with us great local knowledge of the area and looked after our small group very well as we walked to each food stop. The food was outstanding and Margot described to us how the locals in the area would also enjoy the delicacies. For my Mum and I, this tour was the highlight of our trip!
