Just what we were looking for

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!

Not as nice as other food tours

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.

Highly recommend

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.
