The food tasting was amazing! The guide, and the "student guide" were extremely well informed on the areas we toured as well as the history of the buildings. Both were enjoyable companions and made the tour go quickly. We were disappointed the Christmas markets weren't open yet but that was beyond your control. Very satisfied with the experience.

Description states Christmas markets, shopping and Christmas treats! Not what we got! We received a neighborhood walking tour which was over 10,000 steps or 5 miles. At no time did we see any Christmas markets, get mulled wine, or really see anything Christmas. We did walk by some shops with a Christmas display which were pointed out to us. Went to walk into a chocolate store and was informed I was not allowed to enter only the guide was. I was then told I could Enter as he received permission from shop owner to go in. We did enter several stores and he purchased items however we were not allowed to taste anything. At the end of the tour we stopped at a hotel tea room, received tea, and he then gave us the food items he purchased that he thought we wanted. We received a little man(gingerbread cake), candied chestnut, chocolate truffle, and two other items. Went to buy tea at tea store and told to wait as he would would walk us back at the end. We were only able to smell the tea.
Dear Victoria, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are so sorry to hear that this tour did not meet your expectations. Could you please share more details about your experience? So, we can see with our guide what she can do to improve his performance next time? Please feel free to contact us through the Viator Conversation channel or send us an email to contact@meetingthefrench.com Thank you again for your feedback. Best regards, OTA team
As Americans we want to see the holiday markets and christmas lights and try the mulled wine! The price was not worth a basic tour trying a few chocolates at non christmas spots and spending the majority of the time hearing the history of a church, which is nice but wrong tour. Was very disappointed!
Nice knowledgeable guide. Recommend for all - it is France, the opportunity for a cocktail or wine coupled with soft drinks for the underage. The right amount of walking
Aniko was intrepid! In spite of the drizzle, she made the markets and shops come alive. She combined her knowledge of the wonderful history of an important Church with the fun of meeting vendors of outdoor markets and indoor gourmet chocolatiers. And we all felt like friends as we sipped hot drinks and listened to her wealth of knowledge of Paris. She was exceptionally attentive, and very professional. I saw her again today and felt like I was seeing an old friend. Bravo!
We had a very knowledgeable guide who took us to various spots for tasty treats. We tried sugared chestnuts and foie gras macaroons as well viewing some of the beautifully decorated storefronts in the 6th.
<p>Stefani knew her area very well we were four people and it was delightful. It was a pleasure walking with her around, the highlight was at the end of the tour the fire in the small hotel, after the winter atmosphere we were warming up at the fireplace.</p>
<p>Fantastic tour, completely different to what I thought it would be, I was expecting to go around Christmas Markets and see Christmas decorations, food etc - the tour was teaching you about Christmas traditions through Europe and tasting of the food and the meaning behind that actual piece of food, eg a special Christmas chestnut sweet.</p>
