“I had such a great time on this food tour. It started with Alejandro, our guide, giving us facts about the market, its history, and walking us though the different stalls, informing us about the vendors and the foods that they sold, all while picking up things for our meal. He then prepared a feast for us and what a feast it was! Delicious local cheeses, wine that paired perfectly, local meats, fresh baguettes, foie-gras and more. By the end of the tour we were all full and content. Overall it was a great experience. We learned a lot of interesting facts and had a great introduction to the market,…”

“First of all - Coline, our tour guide, was very nice and knowledgeable. However, the rest of the tour was quite disappointing especially for what we paid to take this tour. Our expectations definitely were not met. The tour barely lasted 2 hours. We only had 5 stops (3 of which were in the same market). We did not leave remotely full. I don’t know if they had to deviate because of the holidays but if that was the case, they shouldn’t have agreed to the tour. We’ve taken food tours all over the world and this didn’t come close to ones with other vendors.”
