Tour was terrific. So glad we decided to do a Le Marais food tour. Took us to a region of the city that wasn’t necessarily on our priority list and now when we come back we plan to stay in Le Marais. Tons of shops, delicious food and different atmosphere. Without the food tour we would have never known. Our food tour stops were all delicious. Best falafels I’ve ever had. But, all the selected stops were great. Our tour guide LuLu was wonderful. Great personality and with her culinary background very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
