    Fun & Tasty Food Tour

    We recently vistited Paris with our 2 children; Richard took us on an amazing tour of Le Marais and all of the delicious food the neighborhood had to offer. Richard was great with my kids, answering all of their questions and engaging them throughout the tour. We also had a food allergy in our group that was taken into consideration at our stops so we could all could enjoy the tasty treats! We had a fabulous time, and memories to last a lifetime!

    Wonderful chocolate and pastries!!

    We had a wonderful afternoon with Richard sampling chocolates, macarons, madeleines, and hot chocolate!! All his picks were special and he gave us a lot of history and background information while we walked around. Highly recommend a tour with Richard and this tour was a highlight of our trip!!

    Beautiful Paris

    Richard incorporated into our tour, covered passages which was indeed a history lesson in itself. This was our third Parisian tour with Richard and each time we are amazed to see off the beaten path sights, beautiful ones that we would never have found. We love that about Richard. We walked up Rue Montorgueil a real foodie street and many more. The next day I asked for some more suggestions of sights to see and Richard gave us wonderful suggestions. His vast historical knowledge, easy going nature and ability to know exactly what we are looking for always impresses us. Oh yes we had delicious hot chocolate❤️ Thank you again for a wonderful afternoon Richard!!

    Great walking tours with a local xpert

    Richard is so knowledgeable and entertaining and it’s wonderful to spend time with a local who knows all the best spots and has tried all the cheese! We make sure that we reach out to him every time we go to Paris! I highly recommend his tours!

    A Food Lover’s Delight

    Richard took us to 6 different food meccas in the 10th arondissement (near the Marais) and it was so much fun! Lots of wonderful foods to sample from one-of-a-kind merchants, with lots of local history thrown in.

    Paris Gourmet Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Paris Gourmet Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $126 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 Paris Gourmet Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Paris Gourmet Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 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 Paris Gourmet Food 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 Paris Gourmet Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paris Gourmet Food Tour?

    +

    Around 7 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paris Gourmet Food 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.

    What is included in Paris Gourmet Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Guide; and Admission to attractions. Not included: GST (Goods and Services Tax). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Paris Gourmet Food Tour?

    +

    I'll meet you in front of the Starbucks. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Paris Gourmet Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Paris Gourmet Food Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Paris Gourmet Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Paris Gourmet Food Tour if the weather is bad?
