My husband and I took a Chocolate and Pastry Tour with this company, and set it up through our Visa Chase Rewards program. It was one of the highlights of our whole European vacation!
We ended up being the only participants during this particular tour, so our guide may have gone a little off script with this one, making it so much more memorable. Her name was Marie and she was obviously a huge fan of architecture and French history. It was fascinating to listen to her stories and learn about Paris as we walked and dined on some of the best sweets I've ever had. We made at least 5 stops at different bakeries and chocolatiers, and got little samples from each.
When I say little, I mean full sized portions of desserts! They were very generous and we had so much to eat along the way, we even brought some back to our hotel for later. We sampled mini apple pies, some homemade sourdough, macaroons, truffles, tortes, and so many more tasty morsels. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Once the tour was technically over, Marie decided to take us into a local church, and show us around Paris a little longer. It was a magical experience, and I'm so happy we did it! read more
