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.

Great pastry tour! - Michelle our tour guide was very knowledgeable and organized with how she presented our tour! At each food stop we learned the history of each pastry and how it’s made, along with other interesting facts about behind the scenes of a bakery and some fun historical sights on the way. Each stop had a delicious treat and I thought the pacing was perfect. I was only in Paris a short time, so learning the history of some areas while trying local treats was a perfect combination. Michelle was very friendly and shared so much interesting information about Paris and the food/culture. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

Emily (in) Paris, Pastry, Croissant and Chocolat - Emily (in Paris--she probably hears that every time) was on time, well prepared, friendly and knowledgeable. This tour had yummy stops with little to no waiting as everything was arranged before--we skipped a few long lines. Do not eat anything before (except maybe a little protein) because there is a good selection. Emily explained about the types of people making the different foods (hint: not just "baker" or "chef") and about the arrondissements we moved through. A great start to our Paris excursion!

Excellent food and Paris history tour - I had a great experience exploring the Marais with my partner and our tour guide Josh.
Josh had exceptional knowledge of the area and we particularly enjoyed learning about the concept of 'terroir' and how it relates to French food industry.
Being able to ask questions about the topics that came up on the tour was a great experience for us. We got to learn so much more about French food than just the food we were eating!
Highly recommend this easy to walk and informative tour of this historic area.
Also suggest taking a bag for any souvenirs and food stuffs you purchase along the route.
