Paris Christmas Gourmet Food Small Group Walking Tour

Adriana was the best guide filled with knowledge and fun facts. The food was excellent. She also gave us recommendations to try in the area of the city where we are staying.

Great walking tour with Roberto, who was very knowledgeable of the places we visited. Fun times enjoying the deserts of the Christmas season in Paris.

We had a blast tasting delicious treats all over the neighbourhood. Lots of fun and laughs. Sabine was a delightful hostess.

The food tasting was amazing! The guide, and the "student guide" were extremely well informed on the areas we toured as well as the history of the buildings. Both were enjoyable companions and made the tour go quickly. We were disappointed the Christmas markets weren't open yet but that was beyond your control. Very satisfied with the experience.

Description states Christmas markets, shopping and Christmas treats! Not what we got! We received a neighborhood walking tour which was over 10,000 steps or 5 miles. At no time did we see any Christmas markets, get mulled wine, or really see anything Christmas. We did walk by some shops with a Christmas display which were pointed out to us. Went to walk into a chocolate store and was informed I was not allowed to enter only the guide was. I was then told I could Enter as he received permission from shop owner to go in. We did enter several stores and he purchased items however we were not allowed to taste anything. At the end of the tour we stopped at a hotel tea room, received tea, and he then gave us the food items he purchased that he thought we wanted. We received a little man(gingerbread cake), candied chestnut, chocolate truffle, and two other items. Went to buy tea at tea store and told to wait as he would would walk us back at the end. We were only able to smell the tea.

As Americans we want to see the holiday markets and christmas lights and try the mulled wine! The price was not worth a basic tour trying a few chocolates at non christmas spots and spending the majority of the time hearing the history of a church, which is nice but wrong tour. Was very disappointed!

Nice knowledgeable guide. Recommend for all - it is France, the opportunity for a cocktail or wine coupled with soft drinks for the underage. The right amount of walking

Aniko was intrepid! In spite of the drizzle, she made the markets and shops come alive. She combined her knowledge of the wonderful history of an important Church with the fun of meeting vendors of outdoor markets and indoor gourmet chocolatiers. And we all felt like friends as we sipped hot drinks and listened to her wealth of knowledge of Paris. She was exceptionally attentive, and very professional. I saw her again today and felt like I was seeing an old friend. Bravo!

We had a very knowledgeable guide who took us to various spots for tasty treats. We tried sugared chestnuts and foie gras macaroons as well viewing some of the beautifully decorated storefronts in the 6th.

<p>Stefani knew her area very well we were four people and it was delightful. It was a pleasure walking with her around, the highlight was at the end of the tour the fire in the small hotel, after the winter atmosphere we were warming up at the fireplace.</p>

<p>Fantastic tour, completely different to what I thought it would be, I was expecting to go around Christmas Markets and see Christmas decorations, food etc - the tour was teaching you about Christmas traditions through Europe and tasting of the food and the meaning behind that actual piece of food, eg a special Christmas chestnut sweet.</p>

<p>An excellent tour with a superb and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring many areas and gourmet shops in Paris which we would never have discovered on our own. Being able to choose the food items and enjoying them with a hot beverage at the end of the tour is a lovely experience. Highly recommended!!</p>

<p>The tour guide was wonderful. She showed us some really awesome gourmet shops and the tastings were divine. My one and only problem with this tour was the "tea room” at the end. She took us to the Hotel Littre, clearly on the other side of the tour route/neighborhood. We definitely went out of our way just to go to this "tea room" only to have very sub-par, awful service. I hope the company stops using this establishment. Terrible end to an otherwise brilliant tour!</p>

<p>Excellent tour - however have lunch before you go as there is a chocolate overload :)</p>

<p>We had a wonderful afternoon with Alexandra. Fortunately we were the only participants so could ask as many questions as we needed answered. It was bitterly cold and raining, but the tour was so great we did not feel it. The venues were well researched, the tastes fantastic and the amount we learned was astonishing. Great to learn something new about how different culture celebrate Christmas with different foods and customs.</p>

<p>The tour guide was nice and really took us to elite places for chocolate shopping and gathering of the 13 desserts. He then took us to sit and eat the desserts with a coffee or tea and nice Christmas music. The title of this tour could be misleading maybe it should be something like " the 13 dessert</p>

<p>The Small-Group Gourmet Christmas Tour of Paris exceeded any expectation that we might have had. Our tour guide, Roberto, was wonderful. (He even made dinner reservations for us for Christmas dinner and offered his phone number in case we had problems while we were in town.) The tour was a great way to see streets and shops that are off the beaten path in otherwise tourist-filled parts of town. The tour isn't really paced for people interested in heavy duty shopping at each stop, but that was just fine with us. The tour concluded with coffee or tea at a nice hotel with plenty of time to enjoy the delicious holiday treats we picked up along the way. I would recommend the tour to anyone planning on being in Paris for Christmas, especially since many places are closed for the holidays.</p>
