“Lara was so delightful! She gave us a wonderful tour and the tastings were so well chosen. What a great way to spend 3 hours at the top of the day in Nice. Perfect!”
Taste eight chocolate and pastry specialties while exploring Saint-Germain, Saint-Sulpice, and the Left Bank with a local guide.
“Kevan was a fabulous guide, very personable, knowledgeable, and fun. At times he moved us a bit quickly but overall maintained a good pace. The chocolates we tasted were wonderful and roaming the streets of Saint Germaine was a perfect compliment to the tasting. One disappointment- I expected more pastry, as in a croissant or something, it actually would have helped cut through the intense sweetness of all the chocolate offerings. But overall, we are so happy we chose this tour and met Kevan.”

“It was a well organized tour. We were each greeted by our guide and she stayed alert to our needs throughout the tour. We learned cultural facts along the walk. Each of the stops/tastings was interesting, informative, and tasty. The wine and cheese tasting at the last stop was excellent. The listing of restaurants to try was a nice final touch.”

Taste Nice through socca, pan bagnat, pissaladière and sweets on a three-hour small-group food walk with local tips and culture.
