What Our Big And Small Clients Are Saying:
Steve Harrington
We had a marvelous time, our guide was lovely and very personable. It was interesting to understand Paris’ history along with chocolate stops along the way. What more can you ask for? The area was stunning and the chocolate even more so. Thank you very much to the guides for making this experience even more worthwhile.

If you're mad on chocolate as I am, this is a tour for you! My partner, kids and I have learnt a lot of interesting details about chocolate and we ate some of the best chocolate bites we ever tried… Saint-Germain- des-Prés is a kind of chocolate kingdom! Marion did her job perfectly and taught us so much about Paris and the Parisians.
Susan Wang
I looked at many chocolate tours to find one that fit our schedule and budget. It was a surprise for my husband and teenage daughters for our anniversary while we were in Paris during a Europe trip. Sophie told us many interesting "chocolate" facts and anecdotes and we had several samples. And it was great to meet such expert guides who really knows Paris and its most delicious foods.
