This was an excellent tour, and I would recommend to it to everyone! Our tour guide Anthony was informative and funny. We sampled a variety of deliciousness like macarons, cheese, falafel, and wine (to name a few). I learned about different cheeses and regions across France, as well as Parisian history as we walked through Le Marais. We went to local places, so you really got a one of a kind experience. Excellent tour, excellent food, excellent guide!!

The food/service was excellent! Loved the view from the first floor. We closed down the restaurant and were not able to see the tower when it was sparkling. That was a huge disappointment since we got out of the restaurant at 11:33 pm. and it turns off at 11:45pm. The rain also didn’t help things either. Definitely would do this again but earlier reservation and when it’s hopefully not raining.

This experience was awesome, I highly recommend it! Our guide was so knowledgeable about Paris History. We discovered amazing places where we tasted pastry, cheese, and of course a lot of Champagne!

It was wonderful. Our guide was very considerate and the driver is very good. Great trip.

It was amazing and joyful! I recommend to do it in the first day of entry to Paris
