Latin Quarter Food Tour - Our tour was fantastic. Catherine was great, really kind and easy to spend time with. We ate a lot of food and had a great lunch. The tour was informative, we saw a lot, yet it was relaxing.
Highly recommend.

A host that felt like an old friend! - We finished up a food tour in the Latin Quarter and it was fabulous, made even better by the most kind guide, Emy. She brought us to some amazing food stops that are listed in the tour description, but along the way, she took so many pictures of our family which was a nice treat. She also shared stories of Paris, and of her family which were all interesting to hear. Although there can be up to 12 on a tour, we ended up being lucky with just our family of 3, so we really got to know Emy while walking around the area for 3 hours. We were stuffed at the end and couldn't even think about the dinner reservations we made (and ended up canceling). There are a lot of food tours- it took a while for me to decide which company to go with, and I ended up basing this decision on the food stops that I knew my family would enjoy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour.

Great experience! - Kevan’s energy made this tour so fun! We started with a cheese plate, and finished with a sweat surprise! Kevan’s knowledge of the Quartier Latin’s history added depth to the experience.
Just do it !

Best tour and tour guide! - Can't recommend enough! Best Culinary tour & guide (Kevan) across the board! Great value, information & experience! I visited Paris with a large group of women. 14 of us were interested in taking a Culinary tour. I spoke to at least 15 different companies and Do Eat Better was the best to deal with. They were quick to respond, flexible, pleasant, etc... They seemed too good to be true! Because of that, I was a little nervous on the day of the tour but they managed to exceed all of my expectations! I have since referred them to several people that will be visiting Paris and I will continue to do so. Our guide, Kevan, was so knowledgeable, interesting and fun to be with! Try and request him if you can! When I get back to Paris, I will definitely take another one of their tours, hopefully with Kevan!

Latin Quarters food tour - Absolutely spectacular. Kevan, our guide, was punctual, very knowledgeable, friendly and had a wealth of knowledge to share. Our visit included cheeses, meats, Parisienne meal and crepes. Kevan also took the time to share historical information on architecture and history of various buildings. It was well worth the time.

Cultural Treat - We were fortunate in two ways with this tour. The first being that we were the only 2 on it so it ended up being a private tour experience. The second being that we had Kevan as our guide. Kevan was very knowledgable and engaging with both history and the food and culture of Paris and the Latin Quarter. The Quarter was my favorite "neighborhood" of all in Paris. Be sure to start this with an empty stomach because you will need it!

Walking food tour of the Latin Quarter - Catherine was the most amazing hostess and tour guide we could have asked for. Very knowledgeable, pleasant and easy going. She had a wonderful rapport with each of the stops on the tour - very patient and kind with every interaction along the tour. I can’t wait to go back and book another tour with her!

Lots of walking, not enough food variety or explanations - The beef bourguignon was superb. The cheese samples were good. Our guide was very nice and helpful, but seemed to be new at the job.
