Tours are kept to a small number, so there is always enough time to go deeper into the particular interests for each person along the way. Our guide was a wonderful woman who shared her passion for the architecture and history of the area, in addition to the tour which focuses on ingredients and preparation of fresh seasonal produce.

Loved the Paris food walking tour. What an amazing way to experience French culture and cuisine. Highly recommend this if you like food and cooking. Not just for chefs, it's really for anybody who likes French food and local markets.

This tour is a must-do even if you aren't a "foodie". Our guide was terrific. We walked through the markets, then visited a cheese shop, bakery and gourmet store. Along the way, we popped into a courtyard and the St Etienne church. What a great way to get insight into the culture of Paris. I highly recommend!

My daughter and I were the only two on the tour, and it was therefore tailored for our preferences. Our guide was absolutely terrific. She showed us so much more than just the food of France, which was fabulous. She was worth her weight in truffles. Wonderful insight into what living in Paris is like. Thank you so much.

This is an absolute must, especially if you have never been to Paris before. You not only learn about the food but also sample many of the delicacies that Paris has to offer. If you plan on doing any cooking you must do this tour.

As it was the low travel season of November, and more specifically, Thanksgiving Day and coupled with the current transit strike in Paris - it was just myself and the guide. She gave a fantastic tour, and tailored it according to my interests - having never had goat cheese! She took joy in my joy, she was happy I enjoyed what I saw and tasted. Few others have seen the beauty in the colors of the hanging poultry! Near the end, I told her I had to find my way to another tour, and she escorted me to the nearest metro, as it was on the way to her next tour. She heard an announcement in the subway and then helped me find a cab instead!

A highly enjoyable experience, very interactive and hands-on. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We've been to Paris before and have generally avoided organized tours - this one exceeded our expectations.

An essential start for any stay in Paris - learn what the local foods and wine are and, importantly, how to ask for them. And thanks to our charming and knowledgeable tour guide, this was a fun learning experience.

I was interested in the mushrooms and would have liked to know the names of the ones in the market.
