A great tour to experience Paris
This is a great tour, interesting and fun, you learn things, you see things and you eat things!!! ( my favorite part😋) Lisa, the tour guide and owner is so nice, funny and great with giving information in an easy, interesting manner. I think the best thing I can say about this tour, and Lisa, is that I have been to Paris six times now since 2013 and I have done this tour every time. And have never been disappointed once. Lisa mixes things up, makes different stops all while keeping the experience wonderful. I have brought along over a dozen friends thru the years on this tour and everyone has enjoyed it so much. I consider this tour an absolute must when I visit Paris, I highly recommend it. Merci beaucoup Lisa

LOVED!
I highly recommend this tour. The wine was delicious, Dominic was our tour guide, and he kept us engaged and was super fun to talk to. The cheese was so yummy, and he let us get as much as we wanted because we were hungry. The cafe he took us to was a great vibe in a perfect neighborhood.
Response from the operator: Merci so much for your enthusiastic recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time on the tour with Dominic. It is wonderful to know that his engaging and fun personality made the experience so enjoyable for you. We are especially glad that you loved the wine and cheese selections, and that Dominic ensured you had plenty to satisfy your hunger. Finding cafes with the perfect vibe in great neighbourhoods is exactly what we aim for, so your feedback means a lot to us. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to Dominic; he will be delighted to know he made your visit so memorable. Thank you for choosing Flavors of Paris, and we hope to welcome you back for another tasty adventure soon. Sincerely, Lisa

Original Tour, Saint Germaine
The original flavors of the Paris tour were one of a kind. It was very immersive, and we got to try many things, including oils, jams, wine, cheese, and more. Lisa took us to places I would not have found on my own. The places we went to all felt very warm and welcoming.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your glowing review of our original Paris food tour! We are delighted to hear that you found the experience one-of-a-kind and truly immersive. It is wonderful to know that you were warmly welcomed at all the stops. And that you discovered a diverse range of local flavours. Our goal is always to take guests beyond the obvious and into the heart of the neighbourhood, so your feedback confirms that we are succeeding in creating those authentic connections. We hope to have the pleasure of guiding you on another culinary journey in the future. Sincerely, Lisa

Walking food tour of Le Marais
I had such a lovely time on the walking food tour of Le Marais in Paris this past Sunday. Our tour guide, Frances, took us to places around the neighborhood that I certainly would not have come across on my own. We got to taste a variety of foods, from fresh figs to arguably one of the best croque monsieurs you can get in Paris. Not only was the food incredible, but learning about the history of Le Marais made the experience even more enjoyable. We passed beautiful architecture, street performers, and amazing sites of Paris. The tour felt very personal and authentic, and I loved getting to visit more niche spots rather than just the typical tourist locations. I highly recommend booking a tour with Flavors of Paris if you're planning a visit and are looking for a niche, educational, and delicious experience.
Response from the operator: Merci very much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review of your recent walking food tour in Le Marais. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a lovely experience with us. It is fantastic to know that Frances made the tour feel personal and authentic for you. We agree that exploring the beautiful architecture and street life of Le Marais away from the typical tourist paths makes for a truly memorable visit. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Frances; she will be delighted to know she contributed to making your trip so enjoyable. Thanks again for recommending Flavors of Paris, and we hope to welcome you back on another culinary adventure soon. Sincerely, Lisa

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Flavors of Paris Original Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Flavors of Paris Original Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Flavors of Paris Original Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Flavors of Paris Original Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Flavors of Paris Original Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Flavors of Paris Original Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Flavors of Paris Original Tour?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Flavors of Paris Original Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
