Food Tour in the center : historical district
DESCRIPTION
Bordeaux is a renowned wine capital and has an exceptional culinary heritage, with countless restaurants, artisans, and markets. Go to the heart of the historic district to savor the specialties of New Aquitaine.
Description
We start the Culinary Stroll on one of the famous small squares of Bordeaux, the Place Saint-Pierre. To start this morning stroll, we will settle in a coffee shop. The history of this port and its merchandise will be told to you, and we will start with our first tasting of coffee and chocolate, the best in the city. Our visit in the old quarter will resume and the beauty of the place will surprise you.
Our tour of this district will be punctuated by three sweet gourmet stops, where an innovative grocery store will be presented to you, followed by an emblematic specialty of the city, and finally ending with an exciting subject, bread, and chocolate croissant. A promise of timeless tastings!
After a short stroll through the streets of the Old City, we will arrive at the Covered Market. What a life! Cheese with wine and charcuterie will delight you: we will talk about quality and production methods.

Wonderful tour
A very interesting tour with a very knowledgeable guide who talked a little of the history of the area. I have been to Paris a few times and wanted to try something different. The guide not only showed me around some food shops I would not have known to try on my own, but also gave me a feel for the neighborhood. Lots of things to taste. Saw a lovely neighborhood park with a great view of Paris. It was pouring so we didn't have our snack in that park, but she gave me a snack to have later in the day. She pointed out a cafe where I could come back to hear live music. I strongly recommend this tour.

Learned pastry and some French as well!
It was a fun class! We had French as well as English speakers so it was thought in both languages. My French is very very limited but I was able to understand what she was describing in French before she said it in English because she was demonstrating at the same time. It was a very helpful experience for my learning French and baking as well. The pastries were delicious and I can’t wait to get home and try them!

Paris is a Dream food walking tour
My husband and I had a great food tasting walking tour with Paris a Dream. Fanny was an excellent and friendly guide. As we walked from place to place, it felt like we were walking with a friend. We tasted jams, olive oils, spreads, cheeses, a little meal of meat and vegetables and desserts! Everything was delicious. We were able to sit and enjoy the little meal with a glass of wine and when we were at a cheese shop, went to the cellar to taste the cheeses and were able to pair it with another glass of wine. At the bakery, we were able to pick from a full size dessert and were able to choose 2 different types of chocolates. These desserts were boxed for us to enjoy at our leisure. Not only did we sample yummy food, but Fanny pointed out some local sights and we had a stroll through Luxembourg Gardens. It was a delicious and great walking tour and I highly recommend trying it. Thanks for a great tour, Fanny!

History through food!
Enjoyed a lovely stroll through Bordeaux with an amazing tour guide, Valerie. We were able to taste wine, cheese, chocolate, starters, organic fruit, desserts, and artisan bread. Each location had a great vibe and delicious food and taught us something about food and the beautiful city of Bordeaux. Very good value for the cost, would definitely recommend. 5 out of 5 stars!
