Amazing! Definitely would recommend
Unverified Review
Alex was amazing and we enjoyed every minute of this tour. He’s a native and super knowledgeable about everything about France, from food to history so you can ask him about anything. It was also quite nice that he spoke fluent English, which made conversing by much easier. He’s also a top tier chef, so you get quite a high-end experience with the tasting. You also will learn how to taste which I felt was a very cool touch too. He’s very passionate about everything he does and all of that definitely translates to his tour.
