who it's for, and who it's not

this is for you if

  • Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, you want a local experience, not a list of monuments to check off
  • You're interested in food and love discovering great local spots
  • You'd rather have a real conversation than a group tour where you just listen to the guide

this is not for you if

  • You'd prefer a tour of the big Paris classics, with the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre on the itinerary
  • You're looking for a large group tour where you simply follow the guide
  • You're short on time in Paris and want to see as many neighborhoods as possible in a single tour

what travelers say

"Amelie is a great tour guide and picks the right spots for your palate. The tour has just the right amount of history and great snacks in between. ... Plan on staying in the area after the tour to wander the streets and really get the vibe of the area."

Joie

"Every stop felt thoughtfully curated, and the pastries, chocolates, brioche, and macarons were unforgettable. ... She was warm, gracious, and an excellent storyteller. Beyond the food itself, she shared history about Le Marais, the Jewish Quarter, the architecture, and even individual buildings and streets along the way. It felt like getting both an awesome food tour and history walk."

Liz

"I loved this tour so much I booked it a second time! ... Amèlie is an incredible host, so knowledgeable, so personable, and incredibly generous with her time."

Katie

"Amélie is a really nice and easygoing person and has a great knowledge of food and Paris history. It was a great morning discovering the district and the different pastries/chocolate/choux from various shops. I would definitely recommend this tour, it's very good value for money and you'll leave happy (and full!)."

Lisa

"Spending a few hours with Amelie was by far the highlight of our time in Paris! She is such a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, who really has thoughtfully curated an amazing set of cuisine to sample."
