Bonjour, food enthusiasts! There's no better way to explore a country and its culture than through its food, don't you agree? With a deep passion for cooking and gastronomy, I have been crafting unique private food tours for the past 17 years. My tours are not just about tasting exquisite French cuisine; they are about experiencing an authentic slice of French life. I specialize in guiding food lovers through the vibrant markets and high-quality specialty shops. I have decided to expand in the French Basque Country and create more food memories exploring Biarritz, Bayonne or Saint Jean de Luz. For me, traveling is all about exchanging stories, discovering new people, and immersing oneself in local tales. Through my food tours, I aim to share the essence of the French "art de vivre" with every visitor.

Deniz K.
Hello travelling foodies, Deniz here! My passion for cooking brought me to Paris almost 20 years ago, where I trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu. After working in top kitchens and pastry labs for many years, I have discovered the food nerd in me alongside a new passion for food research which led me to pursue a master’s degree in food studies. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of cultural, geographic and historical forces that shape recipes, food traditions and cuisines which I love sharing with others on my tours. I lead gastronomic adventures through bustling markets, specialty food stores, historic wine cellars, iconic Parisian institutions as well as hidden gems off the beaten path. I believe that tasting authentic flavors and learning about the stories behind them is the best way to appreciate the rich diversity of any culture. It will be an immense joy to share my knowledge and passion for food and wine with you through your Parisian food journey.

After a law degree in Italy and Austria, I worked as a journalist for nearly 20 years, first in Italy and from 1995 to 2014 in Paris. I started guiding in 2014 and followed a new education for my national French guiding license. With my wife Kristina, an architect and historian of art, we created a guiding agency in Paris in which by now work a dozen highly qualified and licensed guides. All of us are driven by love for art, passion for history and eagerness of showing the French beauty to our guests. We provide private and group city tours as well as visits in the main Parisian museums as for instance Louvre and Musée d'Orsay. We manage also excursions to the Palace of Versailles, to the mansion of Monet, to Normandy and so on. During the academic year, I still give lessons for journalism in the Parisian university HEIP.

Paris Tour Reviews
Faye B.
“Food Tour in Marais”
What can I say? The food tour was perfection. From the boulangerie, chocolatier, fromagerie, charcutier, and marches, to finally sitting at the wine tasting cellar to bring it all together. Deniz's impeccable knowledge, warm personality, and genuine passion added so much depth and enjoyment to the experience. She captivated us from the time we first met for coffee, to the time we had to say goodbye. I cannot recommend the food tour with Deniz enough. If you are able to experience this, especially with only two people in the group, please consider moving it to the top of your itinerary. And if you do embark on this magical adventure across Marais, please make make sure to give Deniz your full attention and presence, as she truly puts her soul into the tour - I promise you will not be disappointed, you will learn so much, and you will sample simply amazing food and wine (the Roquefort is to absolutely die for). Thank you Deniz for being one of my most favorite excursions across all the countries I've traveled, and experiences I've had.

“Private Tuktuk Tour of Paris ”
Rafael's private tuktuk tour was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! Rafael was an excellent tour guide. He brought us to all the best spots in Paris, full of history and fun facts at each stop. He also gave us recommendations and tips for the rest of our trip. He was great with our kids and excellent family photographer :-). It was a perfect way to start our vacation and would recommend it to anyone going to Paris.
