Vanessa was a wonderful guide on our Pastry and Chocolate tour. She had lots of details about food history and the local stops we made. It was a pleasure to talk with her about the tour and life in Paris. She was able to engage our children (16&12) which isn’t always easy. I highly encourage anyone to take this tour.

The Paris Pastry and Chocolate Tour: Secrets of Paris’ Sweet Side was "Dave" was the best tour (and we had many) of our trip. Our tour guide was "Dave" from Birmingham, England and he was delightful. He was knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and fun. The food was fantastic, the settings were beautiful, and the history was uniquely Paris. I highly recommend this tour, and ask for DAVE from Birmingham!

We really enjoyed the collection of treats. They truly picked the best of the best for each item. With so many options for pastry and chocolates in Paris it can be overwhelming to know where to go on your own. My family thought the Strawberry Shortcake was the best they had ever tasted! Our guide Anne Lorraine was wonderful.

The Paris Pastry Tour was wonderful! Our tour guide, Anne Lorraine, was very kind and gave us so much interesting information! We tried many delicious desserts in places we might not have discovered on our own. This tour is great for all ages and I would recommend it to anyone. You would be lucky to have Anne Lorraine as your tour guide!

Know Before You Book Our Paris Pastry Tour
Is this a walking tour of Paris?
Yes! This is a pastry lover's Paris chocolate walking tour through some of Paris’s most beautiful neighborhoods, including historic covered arcades. We cover about 1.5 km (just under 1 mile). We recommend comfortable walking shoes.
What kinds of pastries will we try on this tour?
You’ll taste a curated mix of iconic French sweets—including
pain au chocolat, macarons, seasonal homemade cakes, bean-to-bar chocolate, salted caramel crêpes, and more. We visit both historic institutions and cutting-edge chocolatiers to give you the full Paris pastry experience.
Is this just… a lot of sugar?
We get this a lot! Yes, this is a dessert-forward tour—but it's carefully balanced, with breaks between tastings, sips of and cider, and stories that give your palate (and your camera) time to rest. Most guests say it’s just the right amount of indulgence.
How many tastings are included?
At least 6 sweet stops, with multiple bites at most—including pastries, chocolates, drinks, and more. Many guests tell us it’s more than enough for breakfast and dessert.
What are the most popular pastries in Paris? Will we try them?
We focus on Paris’s most iconic sweets—croissants, macarons, and artisan chocolates—as well as lesser-known specialties you might miss on your own. The tour was even curated with input from a local pastry chef.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We can offer vegetarian alternatives, gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-alcoholic drinks. However, celiac disease and severe allergies are not easily accommodated due to the risk of cross-contamination.
Will we be going inside the shops?
Yes! Every stop goes inside—no peeking through windows. We believe tasting is just part of the experience; meeting the people behind the food is what makes it unforgettable.
How big is the group?
We keep the group small, no more than 12 people, so you’ll enjoy a more personal and immersive experience at each stop on this old San Juan food tour.
Is this pastry tour kid-friendly?
Definitely! Families love our Paris pastry tour. While younger kids might not catch every historical detail, the sweets usually win them over pretty quickly.
Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, this tour route is not fully wheelchair accessible. However, an alternate route can be arranged to accommodate guests in wheelchairs. Please contact our Guest Experience Team to discuss arranging a private tour that meets your accessibility needs.
