history food tours Arvostelua 

I had a lovely time with Matt and the other visitors on our food and wine tour. Matt created a wonderful event for us with lots of delicacies and special treats. His stories were interesting and engaging as well. What a fantastic way to experience Paris!

Our time with Mathieu experiencing the tasting tour of Le Marais was the outstanding highlight of our stay in Paris, in fact, it was the most memorable travel experience we have ever had.  To sample such stunning food and wine accompanied by the wonderful insights provided by Mathieu into the produce, its provenance and the history of Le Marais, what can I say other than c'est magnifique!  It was like being shown around Paris by a very knowledgeable friend. Thank you so very much Mathieu

We spent two days in April 2025 with Mathieu and experienced Paris in ways that we could never have done on our own. He also introduced us to exquisite pastries, cheeses, wine, and even cognac. His knowledge and good humor made our most recent visit to Paris unforgettable. We recommend Mathieu to all!

Through Mathieu, we were able to explore and experience parts of Paris that we would have never discovered on our own. He also shared with us his extensive knowledge of French wine, cognac and cheese to our great enjoyment. His tours are a great joy, well worth the cost.

Mathew was a great guide, humorous, knowledgeable, a real Paris plus for us visitors. The food was incredible. We had much more than we could eat and I’m a big eater. And there was wine!!!
Also, Matt added cultural and historical perspectives which enhanced the tour. Overall, a wonderful day of exploring and eating. I would definitely go again and recommend Matt’s tours to anyone spending some time in Paris.

Mathieu’s knowledge and charisma were next level! He made us feel at home in Paris. All of the stops fit our interests perfectly and at the same time the whole experience was very relaxed and authentic. We left as friends and my family is still talking about our tour a year later.

Un food tour de qualité, les dégustations étaient très sympathique comme Mat.
Je conseille vivement

We had wonderful time on the Napoleon Food tour. Mat kept us laughing and entertained with fun antidotes and yummy food. I absolutely recommend you book a tour with Mat.

Mat is a great tour guide! His Napoleon Food Tour is the perfect blend of tasting the best of local food shops, history and interesting information along the way. You won't go wrong with Mat's knowledge, humor and sense of fun. I highly recommend!

This tour with Mat was the highlight of our trip to Paris! He took a place as rich in history and culture as the Marais and gave us a perfect intro to the food and hidden corners that make it so special. The stops for pastries and chocolates were delicious. His enthusiasm for sharing the history along our way really painted the picture of the times that have shaped the area. Our wine tasting at Arthus + Jean accompanied by the cheeses and charcuterie we had picked up made us feel like local friends, not merely visitors! Cannot recommend him and his tours more highly!!

Mat was amazing! My husband and I booked to fill in an afternoon on a Wednesday. I'm a history nerd, he loves architecture so Mat's Napoleon tour made a great combo.

When traveling we look for a couple of things: Good food, great people and lots of steps. This tour had all three. You can't beat Mat's personality for those of us learning our way through our first trip in Paris. The weather was beautiful and we got lots of steps and well, Paris does not fail with her wine and cheese choices! We learned a ton; we laughed a lot and feel like we made friends in the process.

I want to go back just to choose a different tour with Mat next time!

Meilleur tour guide sur Paris, il connaît la vie de quartier du Marais comme sa poche, toujours de bonne humeur et des centaines d'anecdotes plus intéressantes les unes que les autres ! Merci !

We had a fabulous time eating our way thru history! Mat was charming, funny, and more passionate about cheese than me! Loved every minute.

Mathieu’s Napoléon Tour in the Marais was a deeply special experience for me. I rediscovered a whole part of our history through historic buildings in the very city where I was born, yet had never truly noticed before. On top of that, the tastings of chocolate, beautifully matured cheeses from Parisian cheesemongers and the discovery of new wines created a real sense of joy and comfort. I walked away feeling both proud of my city and genuinely moved.

By far the best food tour in Paris. Mathieu is very knowledgeable and such a kind person

Matt is the best in the business. Passionate about history, culture, food and wine. He knows the places, the people, the fine things, and delivers amazing local, creative , hard to find experiences that combine all senses. I highly recommend Matt!
