    We did the Secret Food Tours Paris Le Marais with Ingrid. One of the best tours of my life. Ingrid is Amazing and so was the food she brought us to. Definitely recommend to everyone!

    One of the best tours I have been on! Dalil (D) was our tour guide on the Le Marais Food Tour and he took us around the beautiful neighborhood visiting some of the best bakeries, cheese shops and chocolatiers in the area, if not Paris. We spent about an hour sitting at a lovely cafe eating some of the cheese and bread we purchased at the shops we visited, tasting some of the local wine and indulging in a tasty croque monsieur. We then walked to the Jewish quarter and indulged in some of the best falafels! Definitely come hungry or ask to have some of the items bagged to take with you because it's a lot to consume in such a short time (est. 3.5 hours). What I loved the most about the tour was the historical aspect of it all... from learning the history of the baguette, seeing the oldest house in Paris. 5 stars all around!

    I've done a handful of food tours and this one left me wanting more. We did the Montmartre tour. The neighborhood is amazing with lots of great shops but it is very busy. I was immediately off put because our guide was a little late which left us all wondering if we were in the wrong place. We started by checking out a few neighborhood landmarks, including the wall of love which was neat. The tour started with desserts - a sugared bread (there were not enough for everyone and our guide did not notice) at a local award winning bakery where we also got some history and baguettes for our meat and cheese tasting. Then on to a shop for macaroons, chocolate and hot chocolate. I enjoyed our stop here. We then moved to a small creperie and ended at what I would describe as a storefront for meat and cheese tastings. The room had a long table with wine bottles decorating one side with a bathroom in the courtyard out back. We had the opportunity to learn about 5-6 local meats and cheeses , wine pairings and traditional baguette. I enjoyed the lesson and food, but I thought we would have gone to different restaurants or shops throughout the neighborhood instead of staying in one. I added on the drinks package but the drinks were provided at the end and felt a bit rushed. Perhaps my expectations were off on the experience but I do recommend a trip to Montmartre to checking out the food shops.

    My parents and I did the St. Germain food tour with Lorca on one of our first nights in Paris. The tour guide and the people on the tour can really make or break a tour- and I'd give Lorca 10 stars if I could- she was incredible. Our group was also awesome- we ended up touring for a lot longer than the 3 hours because we were the last tour of the day and were having such a lovely time together. Some of the things we got to try on the tour included fruit paste, caramels, baguettes, macaron, and then ended our evening with a 5-course meal at a restaurant with food from the Basque region (foie gras, meat, cheese, entree- where you got to have a choice- and desserts) which is also where we had our 3 glasses of wine. Our group was the only one in the upstairs space and I think that also added to the environment. As someone who has done quite a few food tours, this one was excellent. I'd want to do a tour with Lorca anywhere in Paris! Highly recommend!

    This review is for the secret food tour of Saint-Germain, not Monmartre. It's the same company and this was the only listing I could find for them on Yelp. So this was great... we stayed in Saint-Germain for five days but still would not have found many of the gems highlighted on the tour without this. Our tour guide was Ingrid, who I absolutely adored. She was friendly, funny, knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting information as well as some great food. She clearly knew all of the merchants and had great relationships with them. Our tour took us to: - Maison Le Roux : caramels and fruit paste - La Tarte Tropézienne : small cake with cream from Saint Tropez - Arnaud Lahrer : macarons and pastry - Saint Germain market : to have a look at how parisians do their grocery shopping - Maison Mulot: bakery - La cave du Sénat : wine shop - Coopérative Laitière du Beaufortain : wine, cheese and meats from Savoie region in the Alps - Au Petit Suisse : brasserie for a hot dish We had many favorites, but I woul say the Arnaud Lahrer chocolotier and the Maison Mulot were our favorites. Ingrid guided us to our final stop at the Coop, where they let us crash their basement private room and have a little picnic. We unloaded all of the goodies we'd gathered along the way (breads, meats, cheeses, wine) and had a heck of a little feast downstairs. Ingrid served everything and explained it all. She even had to explain how to serve this ridiculous mashed potato cheese thing that was served hot family style. In all, it was an extremely enjoyable experience and a great way to learn a bit more about the food in our neighborhood. I wish we'd done it earlier as then we would have hd more time to go back to our favorites on our own. She also pointed out other key restaurants like THE restaurant to go to for crepes so we could explore more on our own. The price tag is a bit hefty I feel, but I don't regret doing it at all. It was a great experience and Ingrid did not lead us astray! She even sent a follow up email detailing all of the places we went so we had the info. Very good.

    I implore you, take the Food and Wine Tour of the Montmartre District in Paris, with PJ. I can't say enough on how wonderful this tour was. In many ways I wish we had done the tour in the beginning of our time in Paris, but instead it was our last day - my birthday. What a gift to me. PJ knows everyone, and as you walk around the Montmartre you begin to understand the great appeal of this District. It's beautiful, neighborly, and people are incredibly nice, along with some of the best food I ate in all of Paris. It helps that PJ tells you of the history and reasoning for each food choice, be it bread, cheese, meat, macaroons, chocolate, and the wine (oh, the wine!) In a small group, you follow PJ to each shop, the best shop, and gather a few treats. Then you eat at his wine bar, which is closed to the public. In total, this was a five hour tour. It's intimate, and becomes a education in why eating locally is crucial to our environment, and our way of life. Quel régal!

    My friends and I had a wonderful time during our taste of Montmartre food tour. Loved walking around the neighborhood with so much charm and characteristic. Speaking of character, Pierre, our guide was awesome. He was very attentive and friendly with our group and shared a lot of insight regarding the food and the history of the Montmartre. You can tell you really enjoy cooking and appreciate the ingredients. I also loved that we got sit down with the group and enjoy some cheese, wine and good conservation after exploring the shops. I just wish we had more stops in the shops because all the food sample were so yummy. Overall the tour was a perfect jump off point before we explore the rest of Montmartre.

    We had so much fun with our group of eight touring and tasting the food around the historic Saint Germain area of Paris. Our guide Samuel was so friendly and made our tour fun. We stopped at several locations to taste macarons, baguettes, delicious chocolates and more. The tour ends in an underground restaurant where we sampled wines, cheeses, and were served a surprise meal. Everything was so delicious. We left full and happy with all of the socializing. We actually had a fun group of people. Samuel really made this tour fun too. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore different neighborhoods in Paris and learn about the culture and food. A truly memorable experience.

    Greg L.

    Very knowledgable guide ... Pointed out landmarks and stories about area / street names. Shop owners / clerks friendly handing out product to taste. After about 2.5 hours going from shop to shop tasting cheeses , pastries, and macaroons we went to their office and she served us various wines, different meats, a variety of cheeses, and dessert. Learned what wine works best with the different cheeses and meats ... Time went by quickly ... Met up at noon and walked out at 3:30p canceling my dinner plans. Very enjoyable and feeling full and content.

    I seriously cannot express how AMAZING this tour was! I was really looking forward to it but I got a lot more than I expected. Our tour guide, PJ, was so knowledgeable and funny. He really took the time to talk to us about every single food item and stop that we made. Everything we had was delicious and we learned so much. We started out at a chocolate factory so we definitely got off on the right foot! Then on to macarons, bread, meat, cheese, and finally, the best of the best - the wine shop! We actually had our food in a back room located inside the wine shop. We thought it would be a picnic at first but this was even better. It was cozy and intimate and just perfect! We had 4 bottles of wine and they were all spectacular. So much so we purchased a bottle and had it later that evening. Just when I thought we were done, PJ took us next door for crepes and espresso. We were stuffed beyond belief and had a whole new appreciation for french cheeses, wines, breads, desserts, you name it! We had a little stop at the Wall of Love where the words 'I Love You" are written in every single language imaginable, including Braille. Pj took the time to take pictures of all of us. He was really spectacular! We decided after this tour that we will never visit a city without first checking out if they have a Secret Food Tour and then booking it IMMEDIATELY! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

First, compared to the other two, it was such a value- you will not leave hungry! Second, John-Paul was a fantastic guide! He's an American who moved to France to perfect his French, ended up marrying a French girl, and staying. He was full of interesting insights into his experiences with French culture from an American perspective. He also provided information about regions of France, different types of wines, and the influential art history of the neighborhood. He was easy to locate with his brochure at the start of the trip and was it was clear he put a lot of thought and planning into the tour. At the end, he provided a wonderful list of his favorite places in Paris including restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and chocolate shops. He even offered us metro vouchers at the end in case we wanted to take the funicular up the mountain-side to see Sacre Coeur- the church of the sacred heart. The neighborhood has earned a bit of reputation for being "seedy" due to the street housing Moulin Rouge, which includes several sex shops. It's sort of unfortunate because while we took a quick stop down there to see the Moulin Rouge, the rest of the tour was like something out of a fairy tale. The hilly neighborhood is actually extremely charming, with a quaint residential vibe that we had been missing at many of our touristy destinations from earlier in the week. Not to mention the million dollar views down side streets, which due to the elevation of the neighborhood, provide views overlooking the rest of the city! If you are a lover of art history, top notch French cuisine, or just want to get a taste of the true local culture, take this tour. I promise you will not regret it!

We were able to book the same day, which was super convenient. There was Wi-Fi on board, though my phone had trouble connecting. The menu and info are all available through the app or by scanning the QR code at your table. I liked that each party had their own little section, and they had acrylic organizers to keep your drinks from sliding around. The six-course tasting menu was delicious. They start you off with bread--and they keep refilling it. Our courses were: Salmon tartare with passionfruit A hazelnut perfect egg with artichoke velouté Seared sea bass with asparagus, broad beans, peas, and citrus beurre blanc Guinea fowl stuffed with tarragon, sweet potato mousseline, vitelotte chips, and jus Saint-Nectaire cheese Strawberry pistachio finger with raspberry gel We also did the wine pairing, which ended up being a great deal for drinks One highlight of the evening was a 15-minute stop at the Eiffel Tower just as the sun was setting. It was the perfect chance to snap some photos and stretch our legs. Just a heads-up: it's not a narrated tour. They don't announce landmarks as you pass them, so if you're interested in sightseeing, follow the route map on your phone. If you're just in it for the ride and the food, that's a different story. The panoramic windows offer great views, but you'll mostly see the side you're seated on--so you might have to be friendly with your neighbors if you want photos from the other side. Overall, it was a great way to enjoy dinner and see some of Paris at the same time.
