Our tour guide was a very nice, pleasant woman and we enjoyed our conversation, Though we enjoyed her company and she had some good information regarding the area, we didn’t learn much about the food, the food portions were very small and some of the places chosen weren’t the greatest. We started out at an amazing bakery and we did get some great macarons from Pierre Herme, but the other three stops were not good or memorable. The crepe stop was really bad - very dry with no flavor. The guide didn’t know much about the food, what we were eating, etc. This tour was a nice time spent together but our previous tours in the Marais area and in Madrid were a better experience for the money we spent on this tour.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the food tour experience. It's unfortunate to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations in terms of the quality and quantity of food, as well as the overall learning experience about the cuisine. Your comments about the lack of knowledge from the guide regarding the food and the selection of places will be taken into consideration for future improvements. We appreciate your honesty and hope that your next culinary adventures will be more satisfying.

I've been doing food tours for a while and the best ones manage to bring a place to live through food. This tour took us to generic instagrammable spots in Montmartre at best.
On our last stop, our guide had to leave, since it was time to go, but we had to stay there for almost two hours after that to receive our promised charcruterie board. We had a child in our group and visitors to the restaurant started revolting.
I think that the history part was ok, our guide was group knowledgeable, but I wrote the company beforehand warning them about the children and I don't think that she had been prepared to entertain and create an immersive experience for children.
Finally, I sent messages beforehand that went unreplied and on the day I called the assigned phone numbers many times before the assigned time to warn them that we had trouble with the location and no one answered. I sent messages and no one answered. They were impossible to contact.
We ended up missing the first stop because we couldn't warn them.

Hi AnaCelina! I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the food tour in Montmartre. It sounds like there were several issues with communication, preparation for children, and timing that affected your enjoyment of the tour. Your feedback regarding the lack of response to your messages and calls beforehand is concerning and will be addressed with the company. Unfortunately, I can not corralte your booking to get more information. Can you please send us an email to support@thetourguy.com with your Booking Reference Number.

I accidentally purchased a food tour through Las Marais district twice. I asked to have one of the tours refunded, and was denied by Viator. Very disappointed in their lack of customer service. Next time will not use Viator as a middle man, I will purchase direct.

I booked this Le Maris Tour via Viator on 6/2/23. My friend and I was so disgusted and so disappointed the way it was handled!
The first two stops were ok, we get to dined in and given wine, cheese and crackers . Second stop, we were given champagne and 2 small oysters.
The third stop, we were taken to the Jewish plaza and we were told by our tour guide Amelie to wait on the bench. There were 14 people altogether on this tour. We waited for her about 30 minutes and when she came back, she had 2 plastic to go containers and she gave us a wooden fork and told us to get one each of the falafel, this is where some of us are standing in the plaza. No water or any beverage was given to us by Amelie . This was disgusting and unacceptable , there are people in the plaza staring at us and I felt so ashamed, disgusted, & embarrassed! There was a restaurant next to where we at and people are just looking at us!
Then after that, Amelie took us to this fancy looking restaurant and we thought that’s where we are going to have our final food tasting but she was just touring us to that restaurant , we were just at the gate ,then she made us wait on a sidewalk and took our orders for our crepes. She came back after 40 minutes carrying 14 to go containers of the crepes.She handed us the crepes, and I asked her if there is any silverware to use, she didn’t have any silverware or even a napkin to use! Omg! Again, we were all disgusted! The sidewalk where we waited is surrounded by restaurants and here we are on a sidewalk, standing and eating our crepes with our bare hands!!!! Unacceptable!
We paid $109 each for this food tour. I want a full refund!! I’ve been to a lot of food tours in the US and Europe, the way this food tour was handled was very disgusting, unacceptable and embarrassing!!!
I emailed the info@tourfuy.com and I wasn’t happy with the response.
DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR! You will be wasting your money, find a better restaurant where you can sit down and enjoy your meal .

I am sorry that the last two stops did not meet your standards of dinning. It clearly states the last portion of the tour is Paris Street Food, how Parisian will eat and run on the go. We do hope that your remaining time in Paris was enjoyable.

Horrible experience
I booked this with friends they made us wait for a long time
Not only that we were eating on the side walk not on a descent place it’s really embarrassing

The description of this tour is so misleading. We ate in a beach overlooking a dumpster, a ball of falafel, disgusting. We had to sit on a curb to eat our crepes. Guide was awful and not even a bottle of water was offered. Waste of money. A refund should be given.
Lisa_S, Jun 2023
It was wonderful to explore a part of Paris that you wouldn’t normally see as a tourist. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the food and what regions it came from. Our last stop had a great meal.

If you are reading this review, please just be forewarned of this Tourist trap. It’s a huge False Illegal Advertising food tour. It’s not worth your $100 plus. If you purchase this tour, from our group of 9 nurses, be ready to be running around 1 hour to find your guide due to last minute changes of meeting location.
From another couple, who were celebrating their 60th birthday, theirs got notified that morning that their food tour got changed to the next day. Not even 24 + hours notice which the tour demand of us if the situation was reverse. Then 2 out of 4 places of the food tasting, we were told to stand around due to no sitting availability to eat our 1 falafel and another to sit at the nearby sidewalk which smelled of urine to eat our crepe with our hand in a box with not even a napkin. At the end of the tour, there was no restaurant sitting for a meal… your crepe is your last food!!! How is this a $100 plus tour? We looked like beggars on the street waiting for food to be handed to us in a box!!!

My friends and I booked food tour today for 5 people at le Marais. My friends and I were very disappointed and extremely disgusted by this tour!
The 3rd stop to the Jewish neighborhood to eat falafel was a complete joke! All 14 of us stand around and sat on the bench and waited for Amelie , our guide to comeback with all falafel in 2 plastic containers. First, she gave us a fork and napkin then have us get 1 falafel each standing/sitting outside in the plaza.
We went on to go to our 4th and last stop to have some crepes.. much to my surprise, she took our crepe orders and told us to sit on the sidewalk and wait for her until she come back with our crepes. After 30-40 minutes later , she came back with our crepes and distributed them accordingly without forks, utensils or water!
This is not acceptable in any way, shape or form! We paid a lot of money to sample the different cuisine of the neighborhood in a dignified manner instead of being treated worse than animals looking like beggars for food!
We want a full refund of our money as we did not received the services your company description and tour details.. I've been in a lot of food tours across Europe and never had this horrible and disgusting experience!

Amalie is an excellent tour guide and is the highlight of the experience. The wine and cheese is wonderful, so are the oysters (but far too few—must work to change that!)
The main course at the end wasn’t the best and below expectations, but the experience was an excellent one. Very glad I took the chance to do it.
