Marie was an amazing guide! She was extremely knowledgeable about all of the wonderful history of Paris whether it was the food we tried, the neighborhood we we walked through or any conversations or questions you had. You will be very lucky to get her and would definitely recommend this tour 100%!

Delightful, relaxed and delicious

Felicia_Z, Apr 2024

Nana was an excellent tour guide. We ended up with our own private tour and we really enjoyed it. We were initially concerned about a three+ hour commitment but the time flew and we had a great time. It was the perfect combination and amount of food, too, and I appreciated how they accommodated the non- meat eaters of the group.

Good food with a nice walk through St. Germain!

Bryan_D, Apr 2024

A nice twist to a tour that really ends up being a full meal in a restaurant with plenty of delicious wine! Leo was an excellent tour guide!

Great guide, but the tour fell flat.

Brian_B, Apr 2024

Alex, the guide was great. Very friendly and informative and did a great job. Unfortunately, the tour fell flat and that the lunch was promised and that’s not the case. The food was secondary to some of the architectural reviews and we were hoping for more of a food tour. The downside came when two plates of chicken were put on the table to share about 12 people. Would not repeat.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Brian. We truly appreciate your kind words about Alexandre, your assigned guide, and his efforts to provide an enjoyable and informative experience for our guests. Conversely, we're disappointed that our tour and selections didn't meet your expectations. As a global food tour company, we look to curate experiences that highlight the diverse flavors of each destination while putting emphasis on the culinary aspects. It's regrettable that you found them to be less impressive during this tour. Our Saint Germain tour is designed to serve as an introduction to the neighborhood - allowing guests to immerse themselves in its cultural and culinary delights. While our culinary highlights may not encompass an exhaustive representation of French cuisine, it is intended to offer a delightful taste of the region's culinary traditions. It's worth noting that many of our guests have left positive reviews regarding the quality and variety of the food and beverages we share along the way. Regarding the shared dishes, we typically serve enough for everyone to enjoy a taste of each dish - fostering a communal dining atmosphere. However, we understand that this format may not suit everyone's preferences, and we regret if it affected your overall enjoyment of the experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continuously strive to enhance our tours. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to exceed your expectations on a future visit. If you’d like to discuss this further, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@secrettours.com.

Kenneth_B, Apr 2024

It was all good, with the table setting the best. The guide had made us all som comfortable that we shared travel stories and our current adventures. His narrative provided great new learning and created good conversation.

An afternoon of eating and drinking with a guide who knows his stuff…what more could you ask for?

Evan_M, Feb 2024

Leo was an excellent tour guide. On a dreary and rainy winter day, he was ready and waiting for us. We were most fortunate to have him all to ourselves. The pace and content of the food tour is perfect in my opinion. Every item we tasted along the way to lunch was absolutely delicious. Learning the history behind every item we sampled was so much more of an added bonus! Lunch was very satisfying and each course was explained in detail with a perfect wine pairing. The restaurant was quiet and pleasant, also very clean restrooms close to the upstairs dining area. We would 100% recommend this tour if you are visiting Paris and want to enjoy a lovely afternoon eating and learning history of the food. As an added plus, the shopping in the area is great and we found several unique locally made items to take home at the Bon Marche department store and gourmet market.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Evan. We're grateful for your feedback and delighted to have played a part in expanding your culinary horizons.

Fabulous St Germain Walking Food Tour

Susan_C, Oct 2023

Marie was excellent! A wonderful mix of culture, food and Parisian tradition. The stops for tastings were well paced and the final stop for lunch was delicious! I do food tours on all of my international trips and highly recommend this one with the lovely Marie.

Gastronomic delight-definitely go!

Elise_R, Oct 2023

We had the best time on this tour and our guide was absolutely amazing! Meeting up with the group was easy and walking was at decent pace. After giving us a history of Paris from conception - the cities growth - to current border we began stopping in stores: caramels, macaroons, and picked up breads & cheeses. We then went to a private room and began wine pairings with the breads & cheeses we had collected on the walk. We also samples French cuisine from Basque region. Everything was perfect!!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks for the review, Elise! We're delighted to have provided an amazing Saint Germain food tour for you. Your positive feedback is much appreciated and thank you for being a part of our culinary journey in Paris!

Enjoyable Experience

Sandra_Z, Oct 2023

Leo was professional and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Parisian culture. The caramels and macarons were delicious. The Basque restaurant food wasn’t great but at least I got to try something different.

ROBERTA_W, Aug 2023

Marie (not sure of spelling) was wonderful and passionate about food and wine. Not only did we taste the best food, she told us about how the shops we visited use traditional methods making for the best food and wine. Can't say enough good things. Take this tour first thing when you arrive so you know where to eat and drink in Paris.

It's delightful to hear about your wonderful experience with Marie as your guide. Her passion for food and wine clearly shone through, enhancing the tour.
