    The only downside at all, if I had to be picky, was trying to find the meetup point. Once we connected with our guide (the staff were very helpful with this, just follow contact us link from the app), we had an amazing experience. We sampled so many wonderful foods, saw beautiful architecture, and learned the history of the neighborhood from a genuine local - including shops, government buildings, churches and more.

      Isa was a very knowledgeable guide and gave us a true culinary Tour de France as we tasted treats from all over France, including the best baguette in Paris 2016, I believe.)

      Fantastic! Delicious! Extraordinary! Delightful!

      Our wonderful guide, Isabelle Pochat, was terrific! She gave us a “The Best of the Best” sampling in Saint Germaine des Pres. The tastes were beyond compare. Really! The “sweets” were some of the most unusual, subtle, mouth watering, and delectable treats we have ever experienced. The “savories”, equally delicious. We will definitely return to purchase more fabulous jam for gifts. Isabelle introduced us to specialties from many different regions of France. She is extremely knowledgeable, loves good food, and is willing to share all she knows. Plus, she is a fascinating person with many talents and interests. We gave her “Paris ‘ISA’ Dream” tour 5 Stars! Book her now. You won’t be disappointed!
