Paris Gourmet Food Tour

Richard is so knowledgeable and entertaining and it’s wonderful to spend time with a local who knows all the best spots and has tried all the cheese! We make sure that we reach out to him every time we go to Paris! I highly recommend his tours!

Richard took us to 6 different food meccas in the 10th arondissement (near the Marais) and it was so much fun! Lots of wonderful foods to sample from one-of-a-kind merchants, with lots of local history thrown in.

My wife and I recently brought our 13 year old granddaughter to Paris to show her the wonders of a city that we have come to love. We had arranged a chocolate and pastry walking tour with Richard who, as we learned, has experience as a chocolatier and pastry chef. We visited shops that Richard considered the best of the best, which in Paris is no small thing. Did not disappoint. We sampled chocolates, macaroons, madeleines, and hot chocolate that were unimaginably delicious. Richard was very knowledgeable, funny and affable. The two hours we spent with him were delightful. At the end of the trip I asked my granddaughter what she liked best about Paris. Without hesitation she answered, Richard's tour.

What a lovely experience! Richard has created an experience that moves you into the local flair of the Marais district of Paris. We went on a Sunday afternoon, which is the time when Parisians visit the area. It was a refreshing escape from the tourist vibe. I was taken to a variety of shops where gourmet offerings were made available for me to purchase. The history of the shop and their offerings was provided, along with history of the area. The pièce de résistance was a visit to a top artisan chocolate shop. This is a “not-to-be-missed” tour!

Don’t question if you need to do this tour, just do it! I’m so happy that we chose to do this tour with our tour guide Richard! First, Richard has very good communication and will respond to your questions right away prior to the tour. Second, while on tour Richard is very knowledgeable and passionate in everything that he showed us. It’s like you’re hanging out with a friend and tour guide in one. Third, the food that we were able to taste was a great insight to Paris culture. We did several other tours with Richard, the photo op tour and photoshoot and he definitely didn’t disappoint. We were able to see other areas in Paris that you wouldn’t able to see if you were on your own. It was like a secret garden that was unveiled! If you do the photo op tour you will see what I mean! Lastly, we purchased the photo shoot option for our last tour. We had our photo shoot at the lourve at sunset! Which I highly recommend.. because your pictures will turn out so cute! It’s a different aspect of Paris instead of the Eiffel Tower. Richard was great to tour with and work with in the photo shoot! He returned the photos right away!! I highly recommend Richard and his tours! You will not be disappointed!!!! Thank you Richard!!
