Secret Food Tours in Paris
This tour company has been at the top of my list for quite some time, as they have never let down a single tourist that I have sent in their direction. There is something whimsical about they way they co-ordinate their tours throughout the city, which is tenement to why I continue to recommend booking in advance to ensure the experience.
SFT is run by Parisians who want the world to see and feel the true history and culture of French cuisine. My personal favorite package is their Montmartre Food Tour, during which you’ll enjoy 4 hours of all Parisian food has to offer. Meats, cheese, bread, chocolate, macarons and even local cognac are on the menu.

The Bustronome in Paris
The Bustronome is a double decker bus made entirely out of glass sides and ceilings. Riders on the bus enjoy full views of the world of Paris on the outside while enjoying the comfort and warmth on the inside.
The bus departs twice daily and the route ventures past most of the main Parisian landmarks and attractions. What makes this experience so interesting is that instead of your typical bus interior, it is actually a fine dining restaurant on the inside.

Cheese Cellar Wine Tour in Paris
Cheese is as important as wine is in France; both are considered an art when it comes to their making, and pairing of them is very common. There are great wine and cheese tours in Paris. This one is unique in that it is hosted inside of an actual cheese making cellar in the center of the city.

Flavors of Paris in Paris
This is another renowned food tour company based in the heart of the city. Their passion for local cuisine is pretty tangible, and I’m a huge fan of their Original Tour (The Original Flavors of Paris Tour).
This tour embarks you on a memorable journey through the neighborhoods of Saint Germain des Prés and the Latin Quarter. It’s incredibly chic, start to finish, and you’ll visit boutiques, markets and cafe, sampling everything edible that the spaces have to offer.

The tour lasts 3 and a half hours and there is moderate walking required. Note that the foods that you will consume en route are seasonally based, so a tour through the winter months will not always be the exact same as those through the summer. Don’t worry, the buttery croissants are immune to seasons and standard across both tours!

Airbnb Food Tours in Paris
A quick search on Airbnb will bring up a plethora of food tours being hosted by Parisian locals right here in the city center. No one knows French food quite like a local, so who better to entrust your tasting experience to than someone who grew up having their palate trained in such a way.
These tours are great ways to mingle with locals, and there are many different variations on offer. You could follow someone through le Marais, or have someone actually drive you out to a nearby eatery for their favorite menu exploration.
