The 10 Tastings of Paris With Locals: Private Food Tour

Our guide, Zoltan, was superb! We loved the tastings in the market, and he helped us to select local/regional fare for a true French tasting experience. He even helped us toast and sing to my husband for his birthday! His background is extensive in travel and we enjoyed exchanging details of shared locations. His grasp of multiple languages is unbelievable! We would definitely ask for Zoltan to be our guide again!

We had an excellent time discovering the food of Paris with Nella. We left with full bellies and more Parisian food knowledge. We enjoyed eating at the market where as toursists, we would have otherwise felt unequipped to order. Everything we ate was delicious!

We loved everything about this tour. We tasted a variety of foods, both savory and sweet! The size of the tastings was perfect. We left the tour full but not stuffed, which was perfect. This tour was as much about the food as it was the history of the neighborhoods. Would highly recommend this tour for any foodies!

Really great tour. Nella was very knowledgable. Great to u fertile the tour in a lesser known area of Paris too in the market what was fantastic. We tried suchette, baguette, cheeses, pate, sausage, oysters. Quiche, crepe, wine and coffee. Thoroughly enjoyed all of the tastings really good tips on restaurants too, one of which we went to that evening. Fantastic.

Great tour, Maria our guide, was wonderful. Only problem, the meeting place was wrong on my confirmation, it took phone calls and text to finally find the guide who waited for us. Tour was great, food great, wine great, all in all a great afternoon.

The person who showed up was Gerard, not Jennifer. He was a very nice guy but this adventure needs a lot of work and we definitely did not get our money's worth. We paid 257US for 3 people and I expected this would be a tour of local restaurants and shops where we would try different foods and drinks that were their specialties. Instead we went to a market which was mostly closed for a holiday. We got a baguette, some fruits, sausages and cheeses. It was the kind of picnic I had with friends when I backpacked through Paris years ago. I expected much more. We couldn't wash the fruits because there was no water the grapes had a spider nest in them so we didn't eat them. Dessert was middle eastern pastries that were covered with bees or wasps. We left the food with Gerard because we had no place to refrigerate. This was very disappointing compared to foodie adventures we booked through other vendors. There were not 10 tastings and no place to eat. We ended up eating our picnic at a local café, but quite frankly we could have done this on our own and for a fraction of the price.

He was really nice guide, very friendly! For sure will recommend him, if you want to spend time in nice company!

We enjoyed our food tour of Paris because it introduced us to foods that we would not have experienced otherwise. Our guide, Zoltan, was very accommodating. Although he provided the overall plan, he asked us what cheeses, tapinades, meats, etc. that we would prefer. He went at our pace and his English was excellent. I highly recommend Zoltan.

Wish we planned our day better... we had to cut it short... but the areas we went to and the food we experienced was awesome!! Seeing how many varieties and picking up some pate and cheese at one place, tasting wine, or in our case, beer!! The beer made it home in our suitcase!! The desserts were light and tasty. We chose oysters over charcuterie but I think we would've had both if we had time. We are so planning to return and try this properly!!

Unfortunately our private tour did not go well. Our guide was very nice young man, but he was not a foodie or even enjoy much food. He was a vegan and an architecht, so very limited on food tasting guidance. We also wanted the Marais area, rather than Square Armand Trousseau. We made most of it, but no really 10 tastings. Select another vendor. I could go on and on, but will stop. Trying to get some refund. Pw
