The tour was my favorite part of my trip to Paris. Tris was our guide and so knowledgable with the wines, the cheese, the chocolate and the history. It was one of the best tours I have ever taken! You do a lot of walking and when we went at the top of Sept it was blazing hot (90f) But the meal was amazing as well as the wine, cheese everything…well worth it! My only issue is communications with the tour guy as a company. The directions say Blanche metro…but there are a few addresses with Blanche in the name and having not been here before I was unsure. We ended up putting in the name of a place to make sure to get to the Blanche metro—3 place Blanche after we found it was by the metro stop (google maps was not pulling it up as the station) there are several tours that are going on in the exit at the top that space. We ended up asking 4 other operators if they were our guide but then Tris came. The other guides had on vests, umbrellas etc so when their people came up from the subway they knew which one was theirs — this was very helpful. I emailed asking if what we had used as point of reference was the right one and was told that there were no tours in that area — so the corporate handlers need some updated communication. Again the tour was my FAVORITE thing in Paris. Tris was AMAZING! Do this tour —hopefully this helps you not feel lost.

This is a new tour and we were on one of the first groups! This was a fantastic way to spend a few hours in Paris. Chef PJ is so charismatic and hilarious - he is not only entertaining but so informative. We learned so much from him, form how to shop for French ingredients to the history of the Montmarte area. HIs food and drink recommendations were spot on. He kept the wine flowing all day and served us incredible food. Highly highly recommend!
