This experience is like stepping into the shoes of a discerning, Left Bank foodie who’s shopping for a special dinner party. From the Pantheon to Pont Neuf, we visit six renowned artisans (3 of them MOF: Meilleur Ouvrier de France), tasting the way through the magical Latin Quarter and Saint Germain des Près, while learning the stories behind every bite. The tour culminates with a private tasting, inside a historic two-masted péniche/riverboat, of cold champagne and all the products we’ve collected along the way.
This tour begins with introductions and a fresh croissant, named the best in Paris, at the breathtaking Place Sainte-Geneviève. As we stroll the historic streets, we will taste charcuterie from an artisanal butcher, a variety of cheeses from a nationally recognized fromager, chocolates from a renowned and eccentric chocolatier, macarons and pastries from a life-long pastry chef, and rare champagne from independent producers.

5.00What a delight. Viewing Paris through the eyes of an earnest fan, Max has curated a perfectly packed tour that explores the fundamentals of Parisian/French cuisine. Between noshes, quick-fire culture, and yummy facts of AOP standardization, you will be faced with the grueling existential question of—what the heck am I doing living if not in Paris? As if I didn’t already think of that enough. Max’s fervor for the city’s culinary landscape is deeply impactful, shining through—because he not only knows what he’s talking about—but because he meets you with a warm countenance and an “all are welcome” attitude. He is a wonderful access point to a history/industry that can so easily feel gate-kept—and if that’s not enough, you’ll end up on a boat with some bubbly, okay? Paris is certainly adorned by those who’ve built it, that’s clear; but its connoisseurs like Max, perpetually learning and sharing, that remind us of the city’s incomparable magic. I left with a modest french smile and a tummy full of patê and fromages…. book the tour.

5.00We joined Max for a walking tour in Paris during Spring 2026, and it stood out as the highlight of our entire visit. Max led the experience with genuine passion and deep knowledge. He shaped the tour around what mattered most to us, which made every moment feel personal and meaningful. We learned a great deal throughout the walk, explored Paris in a thoughtful way, and finished with a beautifully arranged picnic that tied everything together perfectly. The whole experience felt well curated, relaxed, and memorable from start to finish. Thank you, Max, for your professionalism, warmth, and for delivering an exceptional guiding experience.
Go on a tour with Max!

5.00This was the highlight of our family’s trip to Paris! Max is an incredible guide and more importantly an amazing storyteller of the food of France. We learned so much and ate very well. This experience was beyond your standard food tour and got at the heart of what it means to eat in Paris and France. In addition to the fabulous tour, Max gave us personalized recommendations for restaurants and bars unique to our discussions that day and where we were staying in Paris. Bravo Max!

5.00I’m so happy I booked this tour — it was absolutely incredible! Max is an amazing guide: charismatic, fun, and full of fascinating stories. The whole experience felt very personal and unique, like discovering Paris through the eyes of someone who truly loves it. The tour just flew by. Every stop was a little surprise — from the best croissant to incredible cheeses, chocolates, and champagne. You can really feel the quality of every place we visited, and the stories behind the products made everything even more special. And the ending… just wow. The private tasting on the boat on the Seine was such a magical moment — relaxing, beautiful, and the perfect way to finish the tour. I enjoyed every single minute and would 100% recommend it to anyone who loves food, good vibes, and a different kind of Paris experience.
Pleasant, calm visit to Paris

5.00Fantastic experience with Max. He is very friendly and gave us with a lot of good information regarding the provenance of the different bread, cheeses, and wine, etc tasted on the tour. He provides ample food so don’t have a large breakfast before the tour. The quality of the food is excellent. I highly recommend this food tasting tour.
