Great tour! We sampled incredibly delicious foods, got a sense of St Germain history and feel, and hung out it a popular local gathering spot for wine, delicious charcuterie, cornicons, cheese, and conversation. Best of all was our guide, Nicolas, who lives in the neighborhood and clearly loves it. He is knowledgeable, personable, and very nice. He really cared about our enjoyment and took great pleasure offering surprises along the way. Everyone had a great time.

Loved it!!

Laura_S, Apr 2024

Catherine was amazing. She took us to so many different places and was very informative yet fun. Food tastings were delicious. Great way to get around and get your bearings. I would definitely do this at the start of your trip. Be aware - the meeting place is across the street from the church at the black doors next to Louis Vuitton

Tour reflections

Nina_A, Apr 2024

We enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods and eating all of the different chocolates, pastries, bread, cheeses, and wine. As feedback, I’d suggest starting with the baguette and cheeses. I came to the event hungry and found myself wanting to eat, but we only had candies for the first half of the tour. Also, the tour was longer than we had hoped. Combing stories with eating could save time.

Worth doing.

Jenny_B, Nov 2023

The guide was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pace of the tour was slow and our guide gave us a lot of history of buildings we passed in between tastings. A suggestion to add more detail to the meeting spot as I had trouble finding it.(I was in the correct spot but didn't know) I rang the company to verify it. The foods we tasted were fantastic, both sweet amd savoury.

Fabulous tour

Philip_C, Jun 2023

Arthur, our guide, was very engaging and interesting and friendly We learnt so much about food in the St Germain area and also the history

We loved seeing the off...

Kristi_M, Jun 2023

We loved seeing the off the beaten path shops. Highly recommend! Chocolate, macarons, charcuterie, and wine…what more could you ask for?

Not Enough Food to Be Sweet or Savory

Phu_T, Jun 2023

I gave the food tour 3 stars because there wasn’t much food provided during the tour. We started with 2 different chocolate stores where each person was able to taste 1 small piece of chocolate. I think this should have been last instead of first. Then the 3rd stop was a macaron shop where each person was able to choose 1 macaron. 4th stop was an olive oil shop where you were able to taste 3 different oils and 2 different balsamic vinegars and 2 different jams. This wasn’t enjoyable to drink oils and vinegar. There wasn’t any bread or crackers to taste the oils and vinegars. The jam was ok but again could have used something to spread the jam on. The 5th stop was to a cake shop which again you were given a choice to pick out 1 small very light cake. The 6th and last stop was to a restaurant where you had a choice of a charcuterie board with meat or with cheese. This came with bread and a bottle of wine. This was the only savory stop which I think should have been the first stop. Another recommendation might be if the tour company didn’t want to change the order then they should consider adding in a first stop to a bakery and giving everyone a baguette to munch on while walking the tour. Our tour guide was Arthur and he was very nice and gave us great insight into the history and culture of the places. For the money, there should have been more food but Arthur made the experience a good one. We would not recommend this unless they added some more stops with more food.

Achilles was great! Personable, well-informed, and fun. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the charcoal bread Achilles picked up for us to accompany the different cheeses. The walk was easy.

Learning about the area...

Joanne_S, Oct 2022

Learning about the area and having treats along the way was wonderful. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. I especially loved sitting down for wine and charcuterie with the group and getting to know everyone.

Fantastic Way to See Saint-Germain!

Evan_S, Sep 2022

This walking tour was phenomenal! Our tour guide was very knowledgable of the area and was able to give us an overview history of Paris as well as more focused history on the Saint-Germain area. We got to taste different pastries, wine, cheese, and a dessert. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in the area and looking for something to do for a few hours!

Great Tour Latin Quater

JimV, Jun 2022

Got to visit really famous, historic shops - pastries, chocolate, confectionery- and a very quaint but old bistro for wine, cheese and charcuterie. Would have liked a bit more time to buy items. French chef was an excellent tour guide - very informative!

Thank you, Nic!

Val_W, Jul 2021

Well worth the time and money

Karen M, Oct 2019

The guide was friendly and knowledgable. The tastings were fantastic. This is a great way to explore Paris.

How Sweet It Is

Darryl_S, Sep 2019

We really enjoyed our tour and learned a lot about the area. All the food was delicious but I wish there had been a little more savory stuff as it was too many desserts for me. My husband on the other hand was delighted with all the goodies.
