We had Luis Zarate as our guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable and kind throughout our tour. He even stopped to show us a beautiful church along the way (and so we could warm up from the cold). We tried some great desserts we would have never known about and at the end we went to La LAB for wine tasting. I don't like wine but even I enjoyed the experience, Edward (La LAB) and Luis were great!

Barbara was a wonderful guide. She clearly had many contacts in the area and took us to all her favorite places to sample chocolate and pastries. She had a thorough knowledge of the history of the Saint-Germain area.

Jessica_M

It was great being able to walk around parts of the city and trying different pastries, chocolates and jams.

This experience was not as described. The guide seemed disorganized when she said several times that she didn’t know where she was taking us. She mixed up our orders in the pastry shops and we did not get what we asked for. We spent an inordinate amount of time visiting churches - not on a pastry and chocolate tour! We left halfway through the tour. I will be contacting Viator for a refund.

Giles was a superb guide - knowledgeable about all the different facets of chocolate making, pastries and bread, and also about the history and cultural significance, and how everything fits into Parisian life. The tour of such a posh neighborhood and two churches was an added bonus, because we would never have seen those sights were it not for Giles. We had a truly wonderful time and he was a pleasure to be with - warm, patient, and passionate about Paris and food.

Best tour ever! Our tour guide Josie was friendly, knowledgeable and kind (she even let me use her umbrella in the rain we unfortunately encountered during our walking tour). Her selection of sample treats was superb and her recommendations for each of us were on point when we chose our own samples. The store owners were pleasant and very accommodating. We learned a great deal about chocolate, pastries, breads and the city. Delicious way to spend an afternoon!

Donna_C

Not worth the cost. During the walking tour, we arrived to three places that were not even open. Felt like time was wasted and instead, our guide chose other stores (unplanned).

Laura_P

This tour was so amazing. Lues was so nice and knowledgeable not only about the foods we tried but also the history of them and of Paris. I highly recommend this tour! We tried so many things I never would have thought to order on my own. My husband and I absolutely loved it!

Colleen_C

Our guide was fantastic. Great with the kids and adults. Very generous with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Absolutely a highlight of our trip to France!

DANA_G

Josie our guide was incredible. She was so kind and knowledgeable - she had so much great info about not just the sweets and pastries but about the city. She paced the tour beautifully and was just the best. We loved all the shops and sights and the whole tour was an A+++
