Our guide, Antoine M, was great - interesting, knowledgeable, funny, ... We thoroughly enjoyed this food tour of choc, pastries and other sweet things. Antoine filled in with many little snippets of background facts and information that made it all the better.

This was a great tour and our guide Etienne was excellent. He had a ton of information on both food and the city itself but delivered it in an interesting way. The stops were all great and the explanations extremely helpful. You definitely end up at more than just the most famous names which was nice.
It's always a pleasure hearing how guests experienced the tour. We're glad you came away with such positive memories and appreciate you taking the time to share them. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Gaspard was a great guide; friendly and knowledgeable, and he shared interesting information about the history and culture of the area when asked. The sweets were really good, so make sure you go hungry!
We truly appreciate your feedback. It's always a pleasure knowing guests enjoyed both the tour and the time they spent with us. We'd be delighted to host you again with Secret Food Tours!
Gaspard was a great guide. Make sure you don't eat much before you go! I really liked Montmarte. It was a different experience in the 18th than we had in the 9th. This tour was a neat way to try some of Paris's yummiest treats and also see sacre Coeur
We sincerely appreciate you choosing to spend time with us. Your feedback is truly valued, and we hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours again!
Our guide was fun and very knowledgeable. All of the treats were exceptionally delicious!
We truly appreciate your kind review. Your feedback reminds us why we love sharing these experiences with our guests. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
This was a marvelous experience with a passionate advocate for Paris. Étienne was actually born and raised in the Saint-Germane district and knows its history first hand. We not only tasted marvelous desserts but had a thoughtful and interesting history lesson of the area and Paris in general. All the various desserts were so good that my wife could help herself but bought goodies for gifts from all but one of the shops. We highly recommend Etienne as your tour guide for the sweet side of Paris.
Knowing you had such a positive experience means a lot to our team. We're pleased the tour helped you discover a side of the city you may not have otherwise experienced. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again!
This was fantastic! A great way for our kids (9&12) to see Montmartre without us having to personally drag them up hills. A dynamic tour guide and multiple treats provide provided all the motivation they needed. Aicha did a great job guiding a handful of families through her neighborhood, she was enthusiastic and very well informed. It was a lovely way to spend a few hours eating and walking.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad you were able to enjoy everything the tour had to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Did our tour with Sheriff, he was very informative and interactive…made the tour even better (because the food was amazing)! Highly recommend
Thank you for your review! It's always encouraging to hear when our guests leave with stories they'll remember. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
Wonderful experience with expert local guide. Would recommend
We loved reading about your experience. It's great to hear that you found so much to enjoy throughout the day. Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours!
Perfect way to start your trip in Paris! This was the first tour we did in Paris on day one, and it was such a great way to start to see the city, as we learned about the most important thing to the French: food! The kids in particular appreciated that it was all dessert, I think that was a lot more unifying than if we had done a savory food tour, which the adults for sure would've loved, but may have been hit or mess with the kids. This dessert tour was amazing, and Alison went out of her way to discuss lots of things about the neighborhood, country and culture. Just all around fantastic!!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're pleased that the memories you made with us will stay with you long after your visit. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
