Highlights
- La Ferme des Arènes - Begin your culinary exploration of Paris at a local fromagerie, run by two brothers - experts in everything about French cheese. Try some curated samples and hear about the bizarre laws, legends, and intrigue surrounding cheese production.
- Bonvivant - Sample charcuterie perfectly paired with sparkling French wine. This carefully selected venue works with independent sellers and producers to maintain quality and authenticity. Hear more about the winemaking process in the region as you sip a glass of one of their elegant whites.
- Les Pipos - This old-school bistro is the perfect spot to journey back in time to the French Revolution. Learn more about the way this era of political and social change had a monumental impact on the way Parisians eat and drink today - all while you taste some delicious seafood and iconic French dishes.
- Panthéon - It would be a shame to pass by such a historically significant area without taking a look around! Your guide will highlight the most storied areas of this historical neighborhood, point out important monuments, and give you a flavor of how the past has shaped Paris. Highlights include the Pantheon - a fascinating relic of French history, where numerous French figures have been laid to rest, including Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and Marie Curie.
- L’Eurydice - One of the hottest spots in Paris is famous for its tantalizing historical drinks menu. The owner is a published author and aficionado of drinks of the past. You’ll have the chance to sample a traditional recipe for one of France’s most controversial historical spirits: absinthe.

Have a Great Night in Paris - This was a GREAT tour, because it was run by Devour Tours. The guide David was outstanding. He knew about food, was excited to talk about it and got us all engaged with his energy. Going on this tour was like a bunch of friends getting together to go out on the town. David made this happen by treating us all as family, which made us family. At the end of the tour, after David left, all of us stayed for a few hours just to be together as new found friends. Do not miss going on this or any other Devour Tour, in Paris or the other countries they serve.

A worthwhile experience - This is the third tour my wife and I have taken with Devour and all have been excellent. This particular one was in the Latin Quarter with Toma as our guide. We enjoyed her enthusiastic tour and the small taste of Paris.

Do this! - Delicious food, amazing history (hello walk around back of an apartment building on a busy street to an old ROMAN AMPHITHEATER! What?! Camille was a wonderful guide, it was clear she loved her job and sharing food and culture with others. We learned a ton about wine, we tried snails (!), a ton of delicious other foods and wines, and ended up in the cutest little bar that I also can't recommend enough. There, we tried absinthe, prepared traditionally by slowly dripping water over a sugar cube. The atmosphere, the history, the food, the company - everything was wonderful. Highly recommend, and many special thanks to Camille, who was just awesome! We'll definitely be booking these tours in our future travels!

One-of-a-Kind Paris Experience - We had a great time with our lovely guide in Paris' Latin Quarter. It was our first food tour and everything was beyond our expectations: it's not just about the food or the wine (which were both excellent), but also about the culture and the history behind it all. The small group means you really connect with the places and restaurants as well as the neighbourhood. Will definitely include another tour from the same company on our next adventure.

Disappointed- hoping for a resolution - We encountered issues with meeting at the tour start and were delayed getting a response from Viator or the local tour operator. We are hoping for resolution.
