History, Culture and Delicious Cheese - Book. This. Tour. Now. We had an absolute blast with Alex on our Wine & Cheese Tour through the oldest Parisian market street and Alex's restaurant. Alex started out with a brief history of the city of Paris. We walked the street of the oldest market and tried the most delicious chocolate I've ever had while Alex educated us on the important role food and meals play in French Culture. It was fascinating seeing all of the unique shops specializing in different aspects of food and why the French prefer this. Heading to Alex's restaurant, we tasted a multitude of cheeses and wines while Alex explained how to identify the different styles, ages and curing processes. He also gave us a great lesson on French wine and how to properly sample wine to unlock the full experience. Overall, this was an INCREDIBLE tour and the value to cost is unbeatable. If you have 2 hours of time and are looking for an insight to French food culture, I can't recommend this experience enough!

Great experience with proper French chef - The whole experience was a pleasure. Alex showed us some sights around the market and we tasted chocolate as he told us some of the history there. Then went to his restaurant where we tasted three wines and six cheeses. He was very knowledgeable and welcoming. The whole thing lasted about 2 hours and was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Alex.

Not Great - I felt like he was showing favoritism towards certain people. He also told my husband to take our baby away if she cried, which made me sense racism. We were seated in a corner, and at one point, he even took the bread out of my hand.
