Have a wonderful experience with Agatha our food tour guide. She’s charmingly knowledgeable lady. She will bring us to different shops to sample some food such as macaron, chocolates, cheeses, crepes and then we will go to an underground dining room to sample more cheeses, baguette, local meat and pairing with different wine. Great experience.
Alexia was the best guide for our family. She was so fun and provided so many great insights to Paris food culture. We plan to recommend this tour to any friends visiting Paris in the future.

My husband and I did two Secret Food Tours on our European honeymoon. Both were fantastic. Stephane, having grown up in Paris, was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. The group consisted of about 7 of us for the St. Germain tour. We met outside the train station where Stephane gave us a brief history of the city and its growth. Next we headed to a Chocolatier & Carmelier where we got to try some fantastic sweets. Next we headed to grab some macarons and more sweets for later. The macarons were probably some of the best I’ve ever had. We stopped at bakery next to grab some fresh bread and a fromagerie to grab some cheese to take with us. After getting some touring in we headed to the restaurant where we all sat at a table and had hours of great conversation. I suggest doing the additional alcohol package because it was definitely worth it. We had foie Gras, hams, sausages, your choice of a meal, a selection of different types of cheeses, and finally a dessert to finish it all off with. Stephane did a great job of explaining all the food and how to pair it with the alcohol. Everyone in the tour was fantastic and there was a lot of good conversation happening. Would definitely sign up to do it again when we go back to Paris!

I originally rated this business at 3 stars (see original post below for rating explanation,) but hearing from the business owner reflects someone is paying attention and that's sincerely appreciated, resulting in my changing the review rating. Thank you, Secret Tours, for your reply.
It is obvious that you care about your business and you've more than achieved your goal, which "is to offer a diverse culinary journey that showcases both local markets and carefully curated selections that highlight the flavors of Montmartre - offering a distinct and well-rounded tasting experience," which was 100% on point.
The final stop in the wine cellar may just not have been what we were expecting, but all other aspects were more than perfect; interesting with just the right amount of flair, great story telling and flourish befitting the region and country, which I should've focused on in my original review.
We absolutely enjoyed our time on the tour and would recommend this to anyone!

Upfront I want to address the "3 star" rating. It has nothing to do with the tour guide or the food offerings (both good/interesting.) It's that we were ushered into the dark, musty basement of a small office off a "red light district" street to eat all the delicacies that were collected along the way. We're in this unique and beautiful part of Paris and it was very disappointing, especially after the tour guide mentioned (several times) how he has connections all over town, so several of us fully expected to sit at any number of outdoor cafés. The Secret Food Tour of Montmartre needs to attempt to find a location that's befitting of the city to experience the food and the tour lesson. Safe travels everyone.
Wir haben als betriebsausflug die food tour gebucht und waren begeistert. Beste Auswahl der Geschäfte, außerordentliche wurst- käse und gebäckwaren. Die anschließende weinprobe hat das ganze perfekt gemacht. Unser guide hat uns sehr viel gelehrt und uns das französische Essen unvergesslich schmackhaft gemacht. Wir sagen danke für das gelungene event
Anita is just lovely! She has so much knowledge and a nice personality. We had the best time with her and would recommend her tour for sure!
Zephyr provided a great experience. The tour was accommodating and tasty.
Lorca was our tour guide. She was awesome! By the end of the day....we were stuffed and couldn't even eat anymore! The cheese she got us to try was awesome. I love the macaroon and crepe she recommended.
Was a great way to get all of your Parisian food fixes at one time. Crepes, cheese, chocolate, eclairs, etc. Our guide Lena was very informative and knowledgeable especially regarding the different cheeses. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend
This tour fell flat for us overall...we actually wanted to buy something from one of the places we visited and the group left us while we were paying for our macarons. Never found them again so missed a third of the tour. This is a very busy season and there were many different groups visiting the same shops so it was crowded and didn't really feel that special.
Nana was very engaging and knowledgeable. I would give her 6 stars. The location for the main food event was in a basement area, accessible by a short spiral staircase. If you have mobility issues, this could be a challenge. The cheeses and wine paired nicely together.
We had a experience with Baptist who conducted an absolutely amazing tour
I did the Montmertre tour with Agatha, and it was amazing. She was full of knowledge and gave me an appreciation for the food we were eating. I got the upgraded drink package, and it was totally worth it. I look forward to returning to Paris for a few of the others and trying them wherever I travel. I just hope the other hosts are as great as Agatha is.
Our tour around Montmartre with Agatha was such a unique experience. We gained interesting facts about the city in all aspects. We tried amazing cheeses and wines and hams. Worth it!
This tour was beyond expectations! Alexia was a fantastic host, patient and kind with our group. We learned so much about the local culture and foods. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Our tour leader Ingrid was terrific and this made for a great and very informative tour. We tried many delicious foods, visited a lot of interesting shops, and learned a lot about food traditions in France, and also the history of the Marais area. I would highly recommend this tour.
Had a fun and lively food tour with Stephane in mid-Sept. We learned fun facts about the neighborhood, architecture, culture and yes FOOD! You’ll have a full happy belly and perhaps some fun new friends by the end. Highly recommend.
Our Montmartre food tour with Celine was fabulous. Macarons and chocolate to start the day, what could be better! Enjoyed the crepe and eating the purchases of cheese, meats, wine and dessert in the secret location.
