Nice market in a lovely local neighborhood - Great local guide in a very authentic market. We had been to Paris many times but never this neighborhood. It was great to explore. David was amazing!

Cheese, chocolate and wine - The tour was wonderful. The guide was new, but she did a good job. The cheese was delightful. It was fun to visit with Sophie at the wine shop. The chocolate was a good variety and we learned a lot.

The tour was great, our guide... - <p>The tour was great, our guide wonderful, and getting the opportunity to walk through some of the markets was fabulous. My only complaint has to do with the directions. We were specifically told to meet at the newsstand next to the Café du Faubourge. Problem is, the Café is there but the closest newsstand is 2 blocks away. So imagine the anxiety of trying to figure out whether you are in the right place. Finally a tour guide with another tour company noticed us pacing back and forth with the papers in our hand and made a call on our behalf. Our guide told us she has repeatedly asked them to correct the instructions for MONTHS to no avail. Perhaps now they will.</p>

Not a Good Paris Food Tour! - This was an extremely expensive tour that was not worth the money at all! Even though our guide, Vivienne, was very nice and informative, the amount of food we received on this tour was very minimal. Would not ever do a tour like this again.

Tour guide did not show up - Tour guide did not show up, did not respond to any phone calls or emails. We left after waiting for 30 minutes for the guide to show up. Very unhappy with this service and requested a full refund from Viator.

Worst food tour I’ve ever been on - We spent all of 10 minutes in the market and then we were dumped at a flea market across the street for 1/2 hr while our guide visited the cheese shop. We then went to a wine store and ate the cheese and bread he had picked up. We then went to the chocolate shop where we got to pick out 2 chocolates (although the Viator description says 5). This was the worst food tour I’ve ever been on. Honestly I expected to visit more shops rather than our guide visiting the shops while we waited at a dumpy flea market. Not impressed at all. The young guide was nice enough but this was not worth the money
