We thought there would be more food stops along the way based on the description but we learned a lot about Paris history and Sarah was great!! We also loved the wine and cheese bar!

This did not live up to our expectations and paled in comparison to other tours we took. Nice tour guide with some interesting info. but we saw limited sites. Expected more info. about restaurants in the area and more tastings.

I very much enjoyed learning about the this area of Paris, which I have passed through before but never fully explored. Camilla our guide was very knowledgeable. The food and wine samples included were very nice and from local establishments that I would have unlikely to have found if it weren't for the tour.
