This food tour was different than other food tours we’ve taken. It was more of a gourmet food & wine tasting. We only went to two places and sat down to eat at both locations. We had foie gras and escargot from one location along with macrons and chocolate that came from elsewhere. We had steak at the other location. Both tastings included wine or non-alcoholic option. François was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned a lot. I think the tour could be described a little better, so people know not to expect the multi-stop little tastings that most people think of as a food tour. The tour seemed a little pricey for what we got.

The food and wine were absolutely excellent. The cheese was phenomenal and the foi gras was to die for. We enjoyed the stories by Francois and the lively conversation. Very fun evening!

Francois was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and an absolute delight. We learned a lot about the origin and history of French food and wine. The owner of Le Paris Paris cafe provided us with a wonderful lunch. My only regret is that a dessert wasn't added to the menu experience.

Francoise gave my fiance and I an intimate tour in St. Germaine. He took us around where the locals would go so off the beaten path of tourists. He treated us to amazing eclaires and chocolate mouse, and taught us about the history of the area. Plus, we got to experience French cuisine essentials at a popular lunch spot and another restaurant equivalent to a Michelan Star restaurant without the 3 hour dedication. We would recommend this food tour to anyone looking for this type of experience!

Francois was a great and knowledgeable guide. It turned out to be a private tour for my wife and me which was terrific. He asked us if we had likes, dislikes, and dietary restrictions/allergies a week before the tour. He showed us places we would not have found on our own, like wine and cheese in a cave-like space. And he took advantage of the Rugby World Cup by taking us to the areas with sports bars, but still had superb food. This was more than just tasting. We had a lot of food. A great experience and we’re glad we did it early in our trip.

Definitely five out five Francois was our guide - extremely friendly and very informative. He was most interesting and full of local knowledge. He took us to several wonderful restaurants/chocolate shops and wine cellars. We ate and drank like kings ! Together with most interesting information of both the area of St Germain and of France and general chat. Two beautiful churches also so our 2 hour trip turned into about 3 1/2 - we would have gladly stayed for longer !

We’ve done lots of food tours and they usually involve several groups of friends or couples so we were surprised that it was just us on the tour. Part of the fun of the tours is meeting other people and talking about the food you are trying. The food was pleasant enough but we expected 4 or 5 stops to sample ‘bites’. What we got was 3 food stops, the second of which was at a cake shop that was closing and the third was a full meal which we had not expected and could not finish. Very disappointing.

Francois was our guide and he was amazing! We had great food and wine and learned so much about the French culture

Francois was such a knowledgeable, warm, and friendly guide. I was fortunate to be the only person on the tour and it soon felt like being shown around by a dear friend. His food choices were outstanding. Finished the tour full and satisfied. Then he made sure I got on the correct bus. One of my best Paris experiences. Highly recommend.
