SEMI-PRIVATE
Taste what was once only the province of French Kings + Queens in their very own footsteps as we wrap ourselves in a rich tapestry of French culture.
Come hungry -- We'll sample a generous array of croissants, pastries, chocolates, macarons, savory crepe, as well as a rare + carefully-selected cheese board at our favorite local cheesemonger (w/ a baguette comparison tasting!) And ice cream in the warm weather to stay cool as we explore Paris' historic and hidden covered passages...National monuments that have only recently been resurrected + re-imagined for new generations to cherish, after a century of neglect.
What is the story behind French Cafe Culture? We will visit one of our friends -- a local roaster that is winning awards, to taste why Paris now has a coffee scene worthy of its pastries!
Discover the contrasts, scandals, the glories of the Great Reconstruction of Paris — what they missed with the wrecking ball.
...And we don't skip dessert...

Hannah was a great and very enthusiastic guide with a real passion for the history of the passages and their architecture. This was a great tour to get behind the front row of the city and start to explore the real and authentic places where only some tourists go. We would highly recommend this tour to those curious about the buildings and the artisan food producers.

Hannah was my guide for the Paris Passages and food tour. We sampled coffee, cheeses, croissant, baguette, chocolates, and macarons. I learned so much about the city of Paris, culture, food, architecture, as well as a little about her story and journey in Paris. I am so glad I got to meet her and learn so much. I would highly recommend!

Hannah took us to delicious spots that showed she really knows what’s good around the passages. We enjoyed creamy cheese, smooth coffee, the oldest chocolate in Paris, and the original macarons. We also loved learning about the history of the passages and how commerce developed there. It was a fun and tasty way to explore.

We had the most wonderful afternoon exploring the covered passages with our delightful guide Hannah. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The amount of food was amazing. We certainly got to “taste” Paris. I’d highly recommend doing this walking tour.

We had the very best time with our delightful tour guide, Hannah eating our way around Paris as we learned fascinating history of the city. From cheese to coffee to croissants to macrons it was a high light for our entire family including kids and teens.
