Very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Gave more history than just for the Macron. Thank you.

Jonny was an excellent tour guide who went out of his way to give us the best macaron experience ever. We learned about the origins and history, but also about the history of Saint-Germain and some of its most infamous residents. Each of the patisseries we visited were all friendly and delightful. We actually decided to return to our favorite and bought several macarons to take back home.

We really enjoyed our tour with Johnny. He knew a lot of history about the area which was an added bonus. We would definitely do this tour again the next time we’re in Paris. Fun for all ages!

This was such a great experience. Jonny is so knowledgeable and kind. The tasting was fun and we loved his judging sheet. I especially appreciated all of the history he shared. My 10-year-old said this was the best thing we did in Paris.

We had a fantastic time tasting macarons and walking this beautiful part of Paris. Jonny was a great guide and made it such a fun experience for my entire family!

We had flown overnight from New York, so we wanted a fun, but not too intellectually taxing of an activity (with some sugar!). Johnny was a great tour guide. The tour was near our hotel, so we got the full macaron experience, plus a really fun tour of our neighborhood! Would highly recommend!

This was one of my favorite things we did while visiting Paris. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, stopping to tell us the history of the macaron and parts of the city. We got to try a variety of macarons and rated them however we felt like. This was a fun walk around the surrounding area of Luxembourg Gardens and I recommend this to anyone visiting the city!

Fun and unique experience. We really appreciated learning history about macarons & the neighborhood. The guide took us to places with very unique flavors of macarons as well. I recommend doing the tour earlier in your trip, so that you can go back to the places that are recommended by the guide afterwards. Great experience, and would do it again!
