We enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods and eating all of the different chocolates, pastries, bread, cheeses, and wine. As feedback, I’d suggest starting with the baguette and cheeses. I came to the event hungry and found myself wanting to eat, but we only had candies for the first half of the tour. Also, the tour was longer than we had hoped. Combing stories with eating could save time.

The guide was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pace of the tour was slow and our guide gave us a lot of history of buildings we passed in between tastings. A suggestion to add more detail to the meeting spot as I had trouble

We loved seeing the off the beaten path shops. Highly recommend! Chocolate, macarons, charcuterie, and wine…what more could you ask for?

This walking tour was phenomenal! Our tour guide was very knowledgable of the area and was able to give us an overview history of Paris as well as more focused history on the Saint-Germain area. We got to taste different pastries, wine, cheese, and a dessert. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in the area and looking for something to do for a few hours!

Got to visit really famous, historic shops - pastries, chocolate, confectionery- and a very quaint but old bistro for wine, cheese and charcuterie. Would have liked a bit more time to buy items. French chef was an excellent tour guide - very informative!

Great tour! We sampled incredibly delicious foods, got a sense of St Germain history and feel, and hung out it a popular local gathering spot for wine, delicious charcuterie, cornicons, cheese, and conversation. Best of all was our guide, Nicolas, who lives in the neighborhood and clearly loves it. He is knowledgeable, personable, and very nice. He really cared about our enjoyment and took great pleasure offering surprises along the way. Everyone had a great time.

We had a great time in this tour, our guide Nick was very detailed and knowledgeable, we gleaned so much information about history, culture and food in such a short period of time. And the food was incredibly delicious. We really enjoyed this tour.
