NK did a fine job of engaging my whole family (including teens) as she shared some of the history of the area and people who have lived there. The tour was at a good pace and we thoroughly enjoyed sampling some delicious French goods. Thank you NK.

I always book tours if this type when in a new area. This was adequate but could have been better. It started great with a croissant and crepe but when we got to 3rd stop the quantities got limited. We only had one cup escargot for each person and one small taste of wi ne. This should have been more like 3 escargot per person as nd two small glasses of wine. Same with the fu Al stop - it seemed like we were not really expected to eat anything- just a sample. Most of the tours in this class that I haa a be done are more normal I. The portions. Did live this area though and stayed on afterwards to explore …and get an order of escargot. The guide was ok but more soft spoken and unless you were right next to her you would miss explanations.
Amazing Tour Experience!

Sarah is an amazing tour guide! She toured us around Montmarte showing the different foods and history of each stop. We are also very thankful the group waited for us because we were late and it was a fun group to be with. Very recommended tour!
Favorite tour in Paris!

Sarah was an amazing guide. We toured all over Montmartre and tried so many yummy things from croissants & chocolate pastries to crepes to escargo & wine to macaroons to cheese/charcuterie & more wine. Sarah shared so much info along the way about the history of the area. Very interesting. She was very personable

Our guide Ash was excellent. It rained the entire time however this didnt detract from the enthusiasm of our guide or our group of 9. It was rainy but not windy nor cold. The entire experience was a 10/10 for the food & the history. Highly recommend doing this.

This tour with Hexel (so) was the best of our Paris visit and we had some great tours. She was delightful! She was fun, very organized, engaged with the group, kept track of all 12 of us and taught us so much about French foods and places in Montmarte. Don’t be intimidated by 3 hours of walking. Although it was an uphill walk to the top of Montmarte the bulk of time was spent eating, drinking and learning all kinds of interesting facts along the way. I would love to take any tour with this energetic, engaging guide.

We did the food tour with Sarah as our guide. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Our guide was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the area while tasting many delicious things along the way. 100% recommend this as a wonderful way to spend an afternoon capturing some of the more picturesque vantage points you could ask for.

Nkayis a super guide! This tour of Montmartre is informative and delicious. She gave us so much insight into the area, the artists and development topped off by food that couldn’t be more French: croissants, escargot, macaroons, various cheeses and wines. We were a very small group-just 4- and at the end we felt we had made new friends. I wish you could book a tour based on the guide because we would book with Nkay over and over- perfect tour!!!
So fun!

What a fun tour! Julien was a great guide and we got to sample some delicious treats and savory snacks (along with some wine!). Some fun tidbits about Montmartre as well - there is definitely some steps and incline put in, which just made us feel like we earned our food :)

Julian was a most fabulous guide, friendly, informative, great story teller. It was lightly raining throughout our springtime tour, but that didn’t detract from the adventure or enthusiasm! There were just 4 of us on our tour, which made for an intimate personalized experience. We had croissants, crepes, and a mid-tour meal with salmon, salad and cod. We went on with gorgeous macarons which we ate at the steps of the Sacre Coeur, and finished with a generous charcuterie platter. Wine at two stops was delicious! Definitely recommend The Tour Guy for your trip!

Very relaxing and informative. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and easygoing, sharing much about her own experiences living in Paris. Our group had only six participants so we had a very personal experience. Would definitely do another tour like this again!
