Wonderful tour around Montmartre - Claire was an excellent guide, providing lots of historical facts and information about the culture in Montmarte. While on the tour we sampled local cheeses, jams, a macaroon, choupettes, a croissant, lemon liqueur and a red and white wine. The walk was a bit hilly but the pace was leisurely. Claire was quick to point out points of interest along the tour, which ended at the Church at Sacre-Ceur.
We had a wonderful time!!

Great food, scenery and history from Raphaelle! - Raphaelle was one of the best tour guide we’ve had . She was so knowledgable of the area (Montmartre) with great insight and stories . Worked with our group and one slow walker (me) and made every stop worth while .
Really made the tour special for our family . Thank you !!

A must for Paris first-timers - Great experience for a first time solo traveler on her first trip to Paris. Our tour guide Isobel was amazing! I learned so much and had a great time doing it.

Great culinary tour - We always try to book a culinary tour when we visit a city or region for the first time. Some have been good, some have been average, never have we experienced a poor tour. And this tour kept that streak alive. It was fabulous.
Our tour guide Lulu had a wonderful balance of imparting knowledge about the region’s culinary delights along with a balanced overview of the history of the region. The small artisan shops we visited would have been impossible to suss out on our own and each was so worth the visit. What was also unexpected and very appreciated was rather than sampling the wares of each shop in place, Lulu gathered the meats and cheeses and presented them as a charcuterie board at the wine cave on the tour.
Obviously this is the only culinary tour we have been on in the Paris region so we do not know if it is the best, but we can say we could see no obvious ways our tour could have been improved.

Food tour of Montmatre - Fun tour! You get to try a lot of foods that are popular with the locals. Our favorite stop was Lemon Story! Would not recommend this tour if you have small children! There are a lot of steep hills, stairs, uneven pavement, and walking! There was a couple that had 2 small children with them in a stroller on our tour. They were wonderful, but the parents looked like they were tortured by the end of the tour. I felt so bad for them! I would 100% recommend this for tweens, teens, and adults though!
