5.00Laure was brilliant, showed us some nice and very authentic real Parisien spots and told us a lot about the history of the quarter and the food. So thanks a lot for this lovely half day! Recommendation: come hungry and don't plan lunch/dinner earlier than some hours later... you will have quite some food :)
So Good!

5.00A very interesting tour with a very knowledgeable guide who talked a little of the history of the area. I have been to Paris a few times and wanted to try something different. The guide not only showed me around some food shops I would not have known to try on my own, but also gave me a feel for the neighborhood. Lots of things to taste. Saw a lovely neighborhood park with a great view of Paris. It was pouring so we didn't have our snack in that park, but she gave me a snack to have later in the day. She pointed out a cafe where I could come back to hear live music. I strongly recommend this tour.
Real paris is called Belleville!

5.00This "food tour" was a great opportunity to get to know a special part of Paris in a different way. The tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable about Belleville. She did have to improvise a little with two of the "food" offerings because the corresponding places were closed, but she made up for that wonderfully.
Loved Belleville

5.00Laura was the best !! She guided us around the charming neighborhood and we stopped in many food shops and chatted with locals and tasted small treats. Sitting down in the cafes and trying out pastries and cheeses was a delight. Thank you Laura ! We loved her and Belleville !

5.00Our food tour with Paris a Dream was fantastic! Hugo was an excellent guide. He gave a great tour with several stops in a less touristy area. The food (pastries, chocolate, cheese, meat, and beverages) were all very tasty and the store staff were very friendly and accommodating. It inspired us to purchase some extra food to take back with us. He gave us some local history and we even got us a great view of the Eiffel Tower for lunch. He even stayed with us for an extra amount of time at our final stop until we got all of our food there. He went above and beyond, I highly recommend him and the company!
