Great Tour with Thomas!

5.00This food tour was a great way to experience all the best of Provencale food. Thomas did a spectacular job at taking us to the most authentic places in the city, including the market, sweet shops for Calais on candy, truffles, ice cream, and the famous Pan Bagnat sandwich. The tour was a slow paced to allow time for conversation and added city history. The picnic in a quiet alley was very nice. It was also great to connect with the other travelers in the group at the large table in the coffee shop. I highly recommend this tour with Thomas. Finally, make sure you go hungry!!
Time well spent

5.00This food tour with Thomas was fun and chock full of information and FOOD! Thomas is very knowledgeable about the local food scene and the bigger picture of where the food originated and the details of how it is constructed. I felt like he personalized the tour along the way. He is easy to understand and very personable. We bought things along the way and returned to two of the sites the following day to purchase more food. This was a real treat and I highly recommend it.
Great tour with knowledgeable and passionate guide

5.00This was a wonderful tour. Robert loves the local food, respects the vendors and is very knowledgeable. He found some “offbeat” locations and we were welcomed. He’s a very good guide and we recommend this tour.

5.00Thomas was a substitute for the original guide . He was excellent. We had a wonderful day with him. The tastings were excellent. I was glad that I did not have breakfast because I could enjoy the amazing focaccia sandwich in the market, many tastings, stop for a coffee and the lavender ice cream. This was my first food tour. I would highly recommend him. Sheila
Excellent Food and Guide

5.00We had a marvelous experience on our food tour with Thomas! We learned a great deal about the specialties of Provence, what is genuinely unique to the region and what is "commercialized" or lower quality. Each stop and tasting was a joy! His passion for food and his heritage is delightful! I highly recommend this unique and joyful experience!
