No show from the guide, very disappointed. Demands refund. Came early and waited 30 minutes. No info whatsoever, very strange
A gastronomical delight!

The experience of this tour was amazing. Alison was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable of the local history and could answer any question asked. The pace was easy going and not rushed. The samplings of the Parisian food was amazing, as were the stores themselves. Saint Germain En Laye is a beautiful place to visit. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a delight to be part of the experience. And a special thanks to Alison for accommodating me when I was running late.....
Wonderful tour with Alison

I had a wonderful afternoon on Alison’s gourmet tasting tour which began with the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever tasted! We sampled lots of treats in the local shops and I learnt so much about the history of this beautiful town of Saint germain en laye. Alison is a lovely lady and you will feel like you have known her for years! I cannot wait to book the next one, thank you Alison! Sarah X

Wow!!!! What a fantastic experience I had, tasting delicious cheese, wine and patisseries besides a wonderful group of people. Definitely I will do again with our amazing guide Alison who took us on a journey through time and let us discover the history of SGL.
