Paris: St Germain Food Tour with 10+ French Delicacies Tastings

Our Paris: St-Germain Food Tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and that was entirely because of our guide, Etienne. Having visited Paris several times, we weren't expecting to learn much that was new. We thought we'd enjoy some pastries and chocolates while strolling through Saint-Germain. Instead, Etienne gave us an experience that far exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of Paris is truly exceptional. Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating stories about the history of Saint-Germain, its architecture, famous residents, and the evolution of Paris itself. Even as frequent visitors, we learned countless new facts about both the neighborhood and the city that we'd never heard before. His storytelling brought every street and landmark to life and gave us a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful part of Paris. What made the tour especially memorable was how Etienne went above and beyond the itinerary. He took the time to show us a magnificent historic cathedral and the site of Paris's oldest café, sharing the rich history behind each stop. These unexpected additions transformed what could have been "just" a food tour into an engaging historical and cultural experience. The food was also quite good. We sampled delicious breads, pastries, chocolates, and other candies from local shops that we likely never would have discovered on our own. But what truly made the afternoon unforgettable was Etienne's passion for Paris, his depth of knowledge, and his genuine enthusiasm for sharing it. If you're looking for an experience that is far more than a food tour, book this one—and if you're fortunate enough to have Etienne as your guide, you're in for a real treat. Even after multiple trips to Paris, we walked away having discovered new places, new stories, and a renewed appreciation for one of our favorite cities. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

We had a wonderful experience on our Secret Food Tour with Duniya. She was personable, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. As a professional chef, she shared unique culinary insights that made the tour even more interesting and memorable. She also went above and beyond by making a last-minute reservation for us at one of her favorite restaurants. The restaurant was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We highly recommend Duniya to anyone looking for an exceptional food tour in Paris!

Our guide Duniya was a very pleasant, gracious and knowledgeable host for the tour. I didn’t really keep time but guess it was between 2 & 3 hours. She discussed the history of the area and we stopped at different spots such as Henri Leroux for caramels, Arnaud Lahner for Macaron and Poilane for baked goods. Also I think Le Ferme d’Alexandre for some cheeses. Probably a few other stops. All were good and we will be stopping back to actually buy some products before heading back. Duniya’s English is excellent and she is pretty talkative without being overly burdensome. We picked up some baked goods and cheeses to enjoy with the meal at above places and proceeded to Osaba, a small restaurant featuring Basque recipes primarily. Unlike my wife, I tend to be a picky eater but she encouraged me to try - some were fine and some were outside my tastes but I did try them, surprisingly to both me and my wife. We had some wines with the meal and again not what I/we normally drink but all were good. It was a very pleasant experience that my wife and I both enjoyed quite well. My wife will be coming back next year with our adult daughters and Gen Z granddaughters and we plan to utilize Duniya again.

This was a great food tour and a great option for my first night in Paris. After travelling throughout the north of France, it was great to have someone guide me through some delicious food. Ioanna our guide did a great job and was friendly and engaging. The food at the restaurant was delicious and our guide made sure we knew what everything was. I also enjoyed the stops at the caramel and macaron shops. I ended up going back and buying tons of caramels to bring home as gifts. Wouldn't have found that treasure without this tour! Would definitely consider this company when visiting other cities.

Great experience. Stephen was a great tour guide. Really interesting and food was great. Our kids (13 and 11) really enjoyed as well.

Stephane was very informative and entertaining, teaching us about ‘how to be French”. We came away having a better understanding of France’s food culture.

Informative, engaging, great explanations of food and history of foods. Portions were great, wine pairings were perfect to the food presented. Great way to pass several hours learning and tasting about food.

Excellent food, wine, information, and value!

It was incredibly informative and very exciting. The food was amazing and very fulfilling. The tour wasn’t boring for teens and the walk was beautiful.

Our tour was with Stephen. From start to finish he made the tour very fun and informative. We learn so much and enjoyed the tour and the choices for cheese and bites/desserts. Our tour lasted quite few hours with the sit down menu and slowly trying everything Stephen selected for us. We love the communal table and getting to know the other participants of the group, which at the end felt like friends getting together. Appreciated his sense of humor and very positive attitude combined with deep knowledge of everything French and more.
