Best food tour in Paris! - Laura was an amazing tour guide! She took us to some of the best local spots, the views were amazing, and the conversation was lovely. Next time I’m in Paris, I’ll have to go to a different tour :)

Wonderful tour - A very interesting tour with a very knowledgeable guide who talked a little of the history of the area. I have been to Paris a few times and wanted to try something different. The guide not only showed me around some food shops I would not have known to try on my own, but also gave me a feel for the neighborhood. Lots of things to taste. Saw a lovely neighborhood park with a great view of Paris. It was pouring so we didn't have our snack in that park, but she gave me a snack to have later in the day. She pointed out a cafe where I could come back to hear live music. I strongly recommend this tour.

Unique opportunity to get to know a special district of Paris. - This "food tour" was a great opportunity to get to know a special part of Paris in a different way. The tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable about Belleville. She did have to improvise a little with two of the "food" offerings because the corresponding places were closed, but she made up for that wonderfully.

Loved Belleville - Laura was the best !! She guided us around the charming neighborhood and we stopped in many food shops and chatted with locals and tasted small treats. Sitting down in the cafes and trying out pastries and cheeses was a delight. Thank you Laura ! We loved her and Belleville !

"Paris a Dream" was well worth our time! - Our food tour with Paris a Dream was fantastic! Hugo was an excellent guide. He gave a great tour with several stops in a less touristy area. The food (pastries, chocolate, cheese, meat, and beverages) were all very tasty and the store staff were very friendly and accommodating. It inspired us to purchase some extra food to take back with us. He gave us some local history and we even got us a great view of the Eiffel Tower for lunch. He even stayed with us for an extra amount of time at our final stop until we got all of our food there. He went above and beyond, I highly recommend him and the company!

An excellent way to spend a Thursday morning! - What a delightful tour of the Jourdain neighborhood! It was an area that we wouldn't have ever gone to otherwise. I was with another friend, and our group in total was 5 (with our guide), which made for a very personalized experience. We especially appreciated the mix of salty and sweet foods which were enough to replace lunch for us, and the sprinkling of history for a better understanding of the neighborhood's character, as well as a lack of tourists :) It really felt like we were able to get an authentic, local taste (pun intended) of this part of Paris -- and even if you're a Francophile like us, there'll still be some new information for you too!

Wonderful - My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. The neighborhood of Belleville, like all of Paris has wonderful history that has been brought into the present. My favorite stop was the Boulangerie. I had the best croissant of my entire life. It was warm, fresh, flaky on the outside and soft buttery layers within. Yum! We learned so much about the background of the food at each stop. This was a great way to kick-off our time in Paris.

Amazing food tour - Severine was a wonderful guide. She had such amazing knowledge of history and filled the tour with little details to the locality. The food we sampled was heavenly and the neighborhood was authentic. The small group setting was especially helpful for making this a unique experience.
