David was our guide and he was fantastic. Lots of information about the market, the food and the city/hostory. All of the vendors we visited were incredibly nice and interesting. Cheese, chocolate and wine were first rate!
Great local guide in a very authentic market. We had been to Paris many times but never this neighborhood. It was great to explore. David was amazing!
This was an extremely expensive tour that was not worth the money at all! Even though our guide, Vivienne, was very nice and informative, the amount of food we received on this tour was very minimal. Would not ever do a tour like this again.
No one came to meet me!. Arrive 30 mins prior and stayed until 11:45am. Disappoint cannot call number as went straight to voicemail and left online message but no response. Applied for refund I will see how that goes. DO NOT USE
Tour guide did not show up, did not respond to any phone calls or emails. We left after waiting for 30 minutes for the guide to show up. Very unhappy with this service and requested a full refund from Viator.
The tour was wonderful. The guide was new, but she did a good job. The cheese was delightful. It was fun to visit with Sophie at the wine shop. The chocolate was a good variety and we learned a lot.
We spent all of 10 minutes in the market and then we were dumped at a flea market across the street for 1/2 hr while our guide visited the cheese shop. We then went to a wine store and ate the cheese and bread he had picked up. We then went to the chocolate shop where we got to pick out 2 chocolates (although the Viator description says 5). This was the worst food tour I’ve ever been on. Honestly I expected to visit more shops rather than our guide visiting the shops while we waited at a dumpy flea market. Not impressed at all. The young guide was nice enough but this was not worth the money
Conversation while tasting wine and cheese was great! Guide was very personable and spoke English that we could understand!
Fun and interesting tour with David. Would recommend as a way to learn about Parisians and their food.
<p>David was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed our morning walk through the market. I will definitely go to Viator again whenever I'm looking for a new adventure. Many thanks to tour guide David.</p>
