We all loved this and learnt a lot thanks to Mourat who was fun with the children and full of fascinating facts for all. Eating baguette will never be the same again! The bakery produce was delicious and everyone was very friendly. Thank you-a great experience!

Amazing experience with our family of four (children ages 10 and 13 yrs). We had a wonderful time learning about French bakeries, and the different types of delicious breads and sweets. Mourad was the BEST host- he did a fantastic job teaching us how to make baguettes and croissants. He was so fun and took extra time with our kids to ensure they had a great experience. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Paris and I would highly recommend it to all!

While the tour turned out to be great, A Taste of Paris (Voyages LLC)'s customer service is in need of improvement. When we had not received an address for the meeting point the day before the tour, I contacted customer service as suggested and left a voice mail message, and a text... neither of which were returned. I then contacted Trip Advisor's Florida office and spoke with a customer service agent. All he could do was leave a message for the trip operator, which he did. Still nothing. So, having gone on the same tour last year, we went to same boulangerie as a year ago at 8:30 this morning, hoping it might be the same bakery. While there was a tour going on, we were not on the list... they contacted the other bakery they use, who, while we were not on their list either, still had room for us. So, we walked another 15 minutes to a 2nd bakery and were warmly welcomed by the tour guide and the other guests who were waiting for our arrival. This was 10 hours ago, and we have still not heard a thing from A Taste of Paris. Again, the tour and our guide were fantastic and we highly recommend the experience. But, had I not gone on the tour last year, we would still be waiting to receive information about a meeting point. Not the kind of hassle one expects when a travel excursion was booked and paid for months ago.

Wonderful baking experience. Sampled some French pastries and hot chocolate to start then learned about making baguettes and an almond cookie. Nelly was very knowledgeable and the end products were delicious.

The tour was very good for young kids. Our guide, Mohad, was excellent with them. It was very interesting to see what happens in the bakery to make their products.

Great tour, really should disclose just how many flights of stairs are involved. We moved 2 flights of stairs 3-4 times and they were very narrow and steep. It was OK for our group but the slightest mobility issue would have made it truly impossible.

Mourad was incredible ! You walk into this really cute bakery and you're greeted by the host with a variety of free bakery treats!!! you go downstairs and tour the bakery and then make everything! Mourad's knowledge of the bakery and baked goods was awesome! He is informative but also makes it very fun. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an amazing experience! We had a variety of ages and skill levels in our class, from some children to a bakery owner. The host attended to all of our skill levels and had us laughing. You leave with enough bread to feed one for a week! One of our fav experiences! Def book it

We had such a delightful time with this behind the scenes bakery tour. Our guide (Goyia) was friendly and knowledgeable. If she didn’t know an answer, she asked one of the bakers. The tour consists of going up and down several flights of spiral stair cases, so keep that in mind when booking. As someone mentioned, they do not give you any of their family recipes (why would they?), but we did get a recipe for Financiers? and also made them by hand. We made baguettes, croissants, breads with shapes, and financiers. We walked away with so much bread that I also recommend not booking this on your last day (like we did).
