Sam devoured France - Sam was amazing! She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, informative and friendly. She made all guests feel welcome and talked to each guest along the walks. We were educated about the French foods, neighborhoods, Paris and architecture. We spent about 3 hours and the time and money were well spent. We really appreciated everything about this tour. We saw things we would not have on our own and tasted food we would not have had at any regular French restaurant. We had unique cheeses, wine, samples of dishes and food and desserts in unique places, all delicious! Sam made this trip memorable and this was a highlight for us. I highly recommend this tour and especially Sam for any tour! Thanks Sam!

A wonderful afternoon in Montmartre! With lots of food. - I went on the tour in Montmartre. The guide was NobuKhosi, who was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and caring. I learned some important history about the beginnings of the area and why it's actually called Montmartre (I held tightly onto my head). We traversed the area around Montmartre, and stopped at several boulangeries, restaurants, fromageries, patisseries, all authentic to the area. Many had been in business for over 100 years! We strolled up the area to Les Lapins Agile, and up the hill to Sacre Coeur (I wish I'd known that I didnt have to walk up all those stairs!). All in all it was a wonderful day. I enjoyed it immensely.

Book With Sam!! - I loved this tour! Very informative and not only was it a food tour, but a little bit of architecture and history! I really enjoyed Sam! I loved her outfit, the long jorts, black air forces 1, the bleached sweatshirt, and her bleached mullet. She was awesome. She was also from the states, so obviously she spoke great english, but she also spoke french, as she has been living there for 10 years! Amazing! I loved how passionate she was about all the food spots! We did a get to know you at the beginning of the tour which really helped me get along with all the other people on the tour! Sam is very friendly and very attentive! She let me ask her stupid questions like, “Why isn’t there a TacoBell in Paris,” and “do you miss TacoBell.” I would definitely book another tour with this company and if you could, try to book with Sam!

10/10 and a very fully belly! - Sam is an excellent food tour guide in Le Marais! She had a deep knowledge of French food/culinary technique as well as a great knowledge of French history and the area. I learned a number of things I didn’t know (which is cool because I’ve been to Paris before and know a bit about the area) and I left VERY full. I also appreciated that the tour had very different flavors/textures at each place we stopped. I highly recommend Sam and Devour tours for Le Marais. It was a great way to spend a few hours in Paris! Sam also gave me great recommendations for other lesser known activities to do on my travels. Definitely worth the money compared to other food tours I was considering.

Fabulous food tour of the Marais - Our family of 5 had a fabulous food tour of the Marais with Dave. All the food we sampled was amazing and quite varied. We especially enjoyed the Morocco’s crepes, the dark chocolate, the bird’s nest and the wine and cheeses. Dave was so knowledgeable, funny, personable, a lovely host, and great company. It is easy to see why he enjoys his job and is so good at it! Would definitely recommend!! Absolutely loved Dave!

Delicious, informative and entertaining! - What made this experience most memorable was our guide - Arturo! He is charming, funny, warm, welcoming and so so knowledgeable. The conversation throughout was entertaining and informative - a rare and wonderful combination. I plan to recommend this tour to friend and family AND to suggest that they specifically request Arturo (although he did say that his girlfriend is also a terrific guide)!
