  Our Guide Raphael was great, we were just expecting it to be a traditional food tour where you stop at multiple place and eat, we stopped at multiple places and picked things up...ate and tasted at the end.

  There turned out to be only two of us signed up for this tour, but our guide Raphael was happy to continue (despite the minimum number normally being three). Our thanks to him for that. What an interesting guy he proved to be. He told us he had previously been the sommelier at Le Grand Vefour which is probably enough to establish anyone's credentials as a wine expert. Essentially this tour takes the form of an introductory champagne tasting (at Les Editeurs in this instance) accompanied by what amounted to a tutorial about the history and process behind champagne. Having been primed with a load of new knowledge you are then taken on a walking route stopping at various locations to pick up bread, cheese, and pastries, ending up in a wine shop to consume the above and enjoy several champagne tastings. We learned a lot and enjoyed the trip immensely. The fascinating thing is that although the walking route took us to places with which we were very familiar, having visited them many times over the years, Raphael's commentary opened our eyes to lots of things we previously knew nothing about. His knowledge and understanding of the place and the history was as impressive as his appreciation and knowledge of wines. The tour took a generous four hours and was not rushed in any way. There was a fair bit of walking involved but much less than we would anticipate for a normal day wandering around Paris. If you don't enjoy urban walking or don't have comfortable shoes, this is probably not for you. If you genuinely want to learn more about champagne and want the opportunity to compare grape mines etc, then this is for you. Having experiences this trip we are tempted to explore the day trip options out of town.

  Our tour around Saint Germain Paris was such a unique experience and beyond our expectations! We learned so many interesting facts and our fantastic host gave us excellent explanations to the wide variety of foods. The champagne we have tasted were absolutely amazing. It is totally worth your money, don't think twice before booking this tour!!!

  Can’t recommend enough this wine tour in Paris ! Our guide Raphael was perfect, friendly and so knowledgable on paris history. The pairing of the typical french food we picked up during the tour with champagne was the perfect way to end this wonderful afternoon !

  We met our guide Raphael and immediately felt we were with a dear friend. His knowledge is so impressive and his patience for questions was without limits! Although we have visited Paris numerous times we learned more in this meeting. His knowledge of the area and the history surrounding it made this adventure even more fun. Then as we learned about the different champagnes and how to pair them ! Even a casual champagne lover will learn and enjoy. And for anyone that has some experience it will be a fun and enjoyable outing! Ask for Raphael you will make a new friend!!

  I had such a great time. Discovering Saint Germain Des Près, learning about all the hidden stories of the district and grabbing treats all along the ways. Great champagne selection and amazing time: highly recommend to anyone with an afternoon in Paris.
