“Avoid booking with Original Food Tours. They did not contact me to say they needed to rebook me. There was an Original Food Tour guide and a couple at my meeting point so I approached them. The guide called the office and said I could not join the tour as it was private. Meanwhile, they have charged me fully and sent reminders that I should meet my tour. The couple graciously said they did not mind me joining the tour, but the company would not make that work. I understand the that tastings are arranged for 2 people rather than 3, but the guide also would not only not accommodate…”

“This tour is a must do. Our guides name was Virginie and not only was she very knowledgeable about the food and its origins she also took us to the food markets where we tried endless street foods and samples from vendors. Everything was delicious and we ended at a very cute restaurant where she explained the RosĂ© we had and why she paired it with the food we had on the tour.
