Aramis was an amazing tour guide, she is very kind and tells interesting stories. The food was good and the vibe was overall quite awesome.
We loved reading your review! We're pleased that so many parts of the experience stood out to you. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again in the future.
The first half of the tour was the walking portion in the Montmatre District. It was a nice, quick way to visit a number of shops along the way and to eat and hear about its history. However, the second half is where the best food and wine experience takes place. Located in their private meeting venue, that’s where we were able to step back from the busy streets to enjoy more of the food picked up along the walk to enjoy the wine pairing. That was when we could relax and enjoy what we were looking forward to on this tour. We definitely were beyond satisfaction and could not eat/drink more. Our guide, Naf, grew up in this district and was able to answer any and all questions we had….so personable and knowledgeable! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring other family and friends with me on our next visit or even the same tour. We enjoyed this very much. Thank you!
What a pleasure it was to read your review. We’re glad you found so much to enjoy throughout your time with us. We hope you’ll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
You don’t go in restaurants to sample their food with an expert. You get the your guide buying the cheese and meats and then eat it in an room with no utensils.

Matt is a gem- an ex pat with decades of local Paris knowledge that he shares freely. Very attentive to group needs. Young adults, first time visitors, and seasoned travelers all enjoyed seeing Paris though a bit of the food scene

Absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Naf was so knowledgeable and took us to all the best places. You'll go to a chocolate/macaron shop, fromagerie, butcher, creperie, and patisserie, then to a secret location where you'll get to taste so much bread, cheese, meat, and wine. Amazing food, amazing tour.
Reviews like yours are always appreciated. It's great to hear that your time with us gave you so much to enjoy and remember. We look forward to having you join Secret Food Tours again!
Ryan was a great guide! We had such a fun time exploring the area and getting to try foods we normally wouldn’t have gravitated towards. Loved the experience!
The perspective guests gain through local experiences is often what stays with them the longest. We're glad your time with us left that kind of impression. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
