Great experience - Juan was probably the best tour guide I’ve had. He clearly loves his job. He has lots of great suggestions for everyone with him. He also clearly loves the French way of life - in terms of eating fresh wonderful food and making decisions that are good for the planet.
The food stops covered a wide range of high quality foods. Several has MOF awards. So delicious! Come hungry :)
There’s maybe an 60-90 minutes of walking total. You do stop twice to sit down for a course mid way through. You also get to sit for the wine and cheese stop :)
I will look for Devour tours in the future. This was so much fun!

Incredible value! - This was one of the highlights of our stay in Paris. Sam was wonderful. She not only taught us about the history of the foods we were sampling, but also about the history of Paris. We were all full and happy by the end of the tour. I can’t recommend this, or Sam, highly enough. You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent - a must do in Paris - We booked this tour for our second day in Paris to explore more of the city. We met our guide, Davide, and others in Le Marais before starting the walking tour. The tour was approx 2.5 hours and included 5 stops to sample a selection of sweet treats. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on Parisian history as well as everything we tasted. Everything we tried was excellent and would thoroughly recommend. Remember to not eat breakfast beforehand!!

Informative, High quality Food Tour. - Fabulous tour, just the right distance, pace and tastings. Our guide, Davide, was amazing, nice and had a foodie background. Tastings of Croissant, Chocolate Eclair, Raspberry Macron at different bakeries before stopping at Creperie on rue du Monterguiell where we eat a lemon crepe accompanied by a cider in a relaxing manner. Our last stop was a Chocolate Shop on Rue du Nil.
The guide gave us very relevant information regarding the Marais, its buildings and his food knowledge was outstanding. Thank you.
