Excellent tour. Our guide had years of experience in the food industry so in addition to tasting delicious food we learned quite a bit. Tasting portions were more than generous.
Clare was a great guide! We learned so much about the city and got to sample amazing selections of croissants, eclairs (the salted caramel….. 😊), cheeses, baguettes, chocolate & more. Book it and come hungry!
Carole was excellent. Very knowledgeable and passionate. We saw and learned about food and sites that we wouldn’t have experienced. The food was delicious.
Bella was magnificent!!! So knowledgeable and also gave great insight into areas to see and experience. We could not have been more satisfied!!! Awesome experience. Jarvis & Miranda
My wife and booked a private tapas tour in Barcelona as well as breakfast tour in Paris. We noted my wife's shellfish allergy on both tours. In Barcelona, on the day of the tour, Eating Europe canceled on us, stating that they now could not take my wife. They did offer to have her walk around with me to watch me eat for a 50% refund or 100% for both of us. We took the refund, sad to miss the tour but also trying to be understanding as tapas in Barcelona could be harder to manage, and the refund was issued. During the cancelation conversation in Spain, I noted that we were still looking forward to the breakfast tour in Paris a few days later. There was no further indication of any issues with a seafood allergy for the Paris tour. Eating Europe then proceeded to follow-up with confirmations for the Paris tour throughout or travels. When we arrived at the meeting location for the Paris breakfast tour only to be informed, yet again, that for a pastery tour, they could not take my wife. Once again, offered a 50% reduction so my wife would watch me eat, or a full refund. We took the later again and the refund was executed in a timely fashion. That said, this tour organization clearly needs to improve communication with clients, especially those with food allergies as the website is NOT clear on what is acceptable for the tour. Yet, very quick to accept payment. My recommendation, avoid for now, until they can improve internal and external communication on these matters. As for us, this inability to communicate with a client's who willing to spent over 1,000euro for two tours, notably impacted an otherwise wonderful honeymoon with other private guides.
Jesita was a wonderful guide. We visited many different types of small food shops and we were able to enjoy many types of food and drink. Walk was easy and flat. Our meeting point was close to the Louvre Museum.
Don’t eat breakfast. This food tour gives you enough to start your day. Sam was great, being a chef here in Paris, she was able to give us a unique perspective. We definitely went back to a couple of spots we visited later in our trip.
We joined the Paris Food Tour in the Morning: Croissants, Baguettes & Chocolate and had a wonderful experience! Our guide, Jesita, was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared interesting information about the different French foods and treats we sampled along the way. We enjoyed a delicious variety of waffles, chocolates, quiches, teas, éclairs, croissants, baguettes, and cheeses. Everything was delicious, and it was a great way to experience Paris's flavors! This tour was a fun and tasty way to explore Paris while learning more about French food and culture. Our advice: Come hungry; there is plenty to eat! We highly recommend this tour, especially for food lovers!
The morning breakfast croissant, chocolate cheese, experience walking tour was absolutely delightful. We learned so much and had such a great time. Erica was a true jewel and a fabulous teacher and guide. Erica made everyone in our group feel so comfortable and we all asked many questions. It was a true learning experience. My only request for future tours is that the food portions be slightly smaller as the final food stops were a little bit of a challenge because we were so full but the various shops where we stopped were kind enough to package up our leftovers for us. I can’t recommend this tour enough especially if you are a foodie. It was a fabulous experience!!
Lilly was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and helpful. And of course all of the food stops blew us away. Highly recommended.
It was a lot more walking than I expected, but at a comfortable pace. Several of the destinations had no indoor seating and it was chilly that morning. No real time to sit and enjoy. Salma is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and that was very enjoyable.
Wonderful food walking tour. Experienced so many tastings. Our guide was knowledgeable and extremely friendly.
Wow! This was an amazing tour!! I cannot Brie e how much food we received. The shops were quite nice and do delicious! I cannot express enough my appreciation for Lilly! So knowledgeable and informative. She is so seeet and such a fun person to spend the morning with. Thank you so much Lilly for making this your the amazing experience it was.
Disappointing. Expected more for the cost. Anticipated some sit down with greater explanation. Instead it was stand up eating out in the cold. So, meh! Erica was very good
Although our tour guide, Carol, was extremely knowledgeable and kind, I did not enjoy this tour as much as other food tours I’ve been on. It was a breakfast tour, so we arrived hungry, but she talked for half an hour before we had our first food stop. We spent too much time stopping outside restaurants and shops where we didn’t enter (“This used to be a 3 star restaurant” and “you should come back here to buy wine”), so that we had to rush at the food stops. I got a stomach ache from doing most of our eating while we were walking. And although several of the places where we did stop for food had chairs, all our food was take out and we were told not to sit down. I would really have preferred sitting down to eat, or least not eating while we were walking, so I could enjoy the food.
Although our guide, Carole, was very knowledgeable and friendly, the tour was poorly organized. We stood around for 30 min learning about Carole's childhood and the history of Paris and then did not have enough time for the food tour. We rushed from place to place. We could not enjoy the food because we had to eat on the run. We should have sat down briefly at each store to enjoy the food and learn about it, but we did not.
Outstanding, delicious, and so informative. Jesita was a great guide. This tour had croissants, Quiche Lorraine, cheese, chocolate, tea, and more. Absolutely recommended!
Claire was absolutely amazing! She made our experience so wonderful. Thank you!
Great guide. Experience a tad hampered by children included aged under 5.
Was awesome, Sten was a great guide who not only taught us about the breakfast foods of France, a little history and some great chocolate.
Sten was an excellent guide! We loved everything!
Great tour with our lovely and knowledgeable guide, Sophie. We loved exploring the small eateries in parts of Paris we would not have visited without the local insights gained through the tour. The pace was good. Lots of delicious food. All stops were a highlight. A wonderful way to taste some of Paris’ best foods.
Jesita was great! Very knowledgeable.
Erica was a fantastic guide. She was so knowledgeable about food, Paris and really made the experience fun. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide Carole was upset when I asked if I would have a coffee without cream, I don’t have any allergy issue at all but the amount of cream on the top of a small expreso was too much. I offered to pay for the coffee after her reaction and she send me outside to wait for it. They give you to plain croissant not a chocolate one, for the money that you pay is a little poor. I don’t recommend this tour, do it yourselves and you will save the money for a great dinner. She doesn’t allow you to seat for a second and they were people that were very tired and just for a couple of minutes while she was explaining something.
Come hungry! There is a lot to sample and the selection was excellent. Wander through Paris streets nibbling on baguettes, croissants, cheese and even gluten free waffles. All the while learning about French cuisine.
We absolutely loved our morning food tour in Paris. There was so much delicious food, and every stop felt thoughtful and generous. We also discovered neighbourhoods and little corners of the city we never would have found on our own, which made the experience feel really special. Sophie was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Parisian food culture. Highly recommend!
The food was excellent. The knowledge of our guide, Cecilia was equally outstanding. Definitely a great way to see some off the beaten track sites and sample great food.
Very good/excellent / good information
My husband and I had such a great experience. We have gone on many food tours, and this is definitely our favorite! Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable and passionate! Definitely come with an empty stomach!
Salma was a very knowledgeable and delightful tour guide. We enjoyed her unique and informed POV as a Parisian and all the information she shared with us. Each stop provided good quality food and drinks. Do not eat before this tour - you will be well fed! Along the way, we had chocolate at 2 stops, quiche, coffee, a waffle, croissants, an eclair, a selection of cheeses and fresh baguette. We also had tea at a beautiful tea store. Overall, it was a great tour and Salma was a fantastic guide. In addition to all this, we went on the tour with someone who cannot walk very well so we pushed her in a wheelchair - Salma was very thoughtful navigating our walk to help make pushing the wheelchair easier. We understood that we could not take the wheelchair into the stops along the way, but being able to use it for the walking made this tour possible and we appreciated Salma’s accommodations.
Lots of samples to try and all were delicious. Our guide, Salma was very very informative and gave us great background information on everything we tried, the baguettes were out of this world. DON’T eat breakfast before joining the tour.
This was wonderful! Our guide provided good places to sample delicious breakfast foods. We enjoyed it tremendously!
We had a fantastic food tour in Paris with Jesita! The tour offered a great variety of food, and everything we tried was high quality and delicious. Jesita was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information about the food, neighborhoods, and Parisian culture along the way. It was a wonderful way to experience Paris beyond just visiting the usual sights. Highly recommend Jesita and this tour!
What a treat! This was our first morning in Paris and what an introduction. Marie was insightful and so thoughtful in the unique places we visited. It was relaxed and time flew. What a beautiful history of food experiences in this area and a pleasure to enjoy!!!
This tour was a good one to do right off the plane to combat jet lag. Our guide was very knowledgeable about food and baking in particular. She spent a lot of time talking about how different things are made and their history. The food was good but were very large portions that you couldn’t eat and needed to take with you. We sat outside at every stop and fortunately the weather was nice.
This was excellent. Hot chocolate with waffles, quiche, pastry, cheeses, croissant and chocolate. More food than we could eat and I eat a lot. Our guide Silvana was excellent! Highly recommend!
Jesita was a most excellent hostess! She is very knowledgeable is all regards! Totally recommend ❤️
Jeseta was a wonderful guide. Got to see some local spots that we would not have got to otherwise.
This is a good tour. Sten was our guide and he was terrific. The food was plentiful and very good. Sten also tossed in some good information / history about the area you are in. Would recommend
Amazing tour! Thanks so much Sten for this authentic vision of Paris
Loved the tour! Sten was so knowledgeable and fun. Loved the anecdotes
We had the best time on this tour! Our guide Sten was so friendly and gave us great insights if Paris. We had so many fantastic types of food. Do NOT eat anything before the tour because it’s very filling!
Sten was an excellent host. Highly recommend, but come hungry!
Our lovely guide Erica was fantastic. Lots of food to try and she mixed up sweet and savoury along the way. Don’t eat before hand.
Erica was a great guide, and the food was amazing! Great options and plenty of it.
Betsy was knowledgeable, fun, and full of good vibes. I highly recommend her and this tour.
This was my first food tour and it did not disappoint! Claire was knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly! I had such an amazing experience, and the food was plentiful and delicious! Top notch!
You’ll be full and ready for the rest of your day! Amazing tour and the perfect way to take in the city’s best bakeries. We learned much!
