5.00My tour with Nita was great. She is awesome. She communicated with me prior to the tour to make sure I knew all of the details. She took us around an area of Paris that I would have never seen on my own. The food was great. We had wine and tasty bites. She has created a great tour and highly recommend it. All the restaurants were in different parts of the area, so we got to see a lot of unique places. The best part was that a boat came through the canal and locks, so that was neat to see. Book it!!
Perfect afternoon

5.00A great experience all round. Nita is enthusiastic and knows a lot about the neighborhood. She picks places for the tastings, which she personally loves. All this makes it a very friendly, unpretentious afternoon, where you get to see a slice of Paris you wouldn't otherwise have access to. I heartily recommend.

5.00This walking tour was so much fun. Meeting Nanet was easy, she was like hanging out with an old lovely friend. I really enjoyed hanging out with the locals and embracing all the little cool spots to eat. I highly recommend going on this tour if you want to live like a perisian for a few hours.
Delicious and authentic experience!

5.00The food tour around Canal Saint-Martin was a real treat. Tahani was friendly and shared great and a lot of local stories while we tasted amazing cheeses, pastries, and natural wine. Even as a Parisian, I learned so many new things about the Canal Saint-Martin area. It’s a charming, off-the-beaten-path area that shows a more authentic side of Paris. Highly recommend!
Beautiful !

5.00Many thanks to Tahani for her warm welcome and for this wonderful discovery of the canal and its exceptional small local shops. I live in the Paris region, and yet I had no idea there was so much to discover here.

5.00We were looking for something unique, an experience that would take us out of the usual Parisian activities and the Canal Food Walk absolutely delivered! We joined the Aperitif Tour around the Canal Saint-Martin with Nita, an amazing guide who brought the neighborhood’s history to life through captivating stories and fun local anecdotes. The artisans who welcomed us were so generous, offering tastings of exceptional wines, delicious dishes, and perfectly aged cheeses. I already knew the area, but discovering it in this way through food, stories, and genuine encounters was incredible. A truly gourmet, friendly, and cultural experience. Highly recommended! 🍷🧀✨ Nida’a

She introduced us to her favorite local spots and gave us a real taste of Paris beyond the usual tourist paths.
