Customer Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Minh M2025-02-19Verified TLDR: Worth every penny. Book with confidence! Chef PJ is a gem that must be protected at all costs!!! If you’re in the area, this is a must-go. Book with confidence.PJ’s knowledge & love of Montemartre is unmatched, and his cooking alone is worth stopping by.He started our trip with a walkthrough of Montmartre as he explained the history of Paris, as well as tips to finding quality stores & ingredients throughout the city. Expect multiple pit-stops to enjoy food & wine from local shops around the area.He then brought us to his restaurant - Le Petite Moulin - and proceded to cook & serve us delicious French food + many glasses of wine to match. We tried escargot from 4 different notable restaurants around Paris - and his was by far the best.To say this was a highlight of our trip is an understatement. 10/10 worth every penny! Victoria H2025-02-19Verified The only way to explore Montmartre We only had 3 days in Paris and were skeptical of using almost an entire day on one tour. However, this tour ended up being the highlight of our trip! We got to explore Montmartre and learn the history and fun facts about this vibrant neighborhood. Chef PJ was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but highly entertaining. We will recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris! Compass606414082942025-01-28Verified The best tour! Loved every aspect of it. What a great time we had! Chef PJ is kind, fun, and very knowledgeable about french history, food, wine, desserts, and cheese! This tour exceeded my expectations and those of my friends. Can’t wait to move to Montmartre so I can visit Le Petit Moulin for an after work apertif. If you love Paris and want to catch a glimpse of Parisian everyday life - take this tour! Merci, Chef PJ! Heidi S2025-01-23Verified Best experience in Paris As all the other reviews have said, this was the BEST experience we had on our short trip to Paris. We were so lucky, my husband and I were the only ones on the tour so we accidently had a private tour. I love history, food, and wine. This tour was like spending the day with a family member who was excited to share his beautiful and unique neighborhood with us. We sat at cafe and had coffee and a croissant and learned about Montmartre. Then we continued on to pick up ingredients and the components of our dinner at all the local shops, where he knows everyone. He is welcomed into each place with warmth and it felt as though that warmth was extended to us as his guests. Once we reached his restaurant, we had wine and he made us an amazing French meal, escargot, beef bourguignon, cheese, and desserts from a Pâtisserie. Each course was accompanied by more wine. While we ate, people walked by and wanted to come into the restaurant, he made it clear to them that this was a tour and they would have to come back later, which they did. I would go on this tour again and would strongly recommend it anyone visiting Paris. Thank you Chef PJ! D C2025-01-13Verified Highlight of our time in Paris! PJ is so knowledgeable about the area and an amazing host. We arrived as tourists and left feeling like family. The highlight of our trip! Travelchildmom2025-01-06Verified Sevilla tour My teenaged son and I were on the new Sevilla tour. We had a FABULOUS time. Very scenic stops, great food and wine, and lively conversation. We enjoyed it very much and also learned about the food and wine. If I have one suggestion, it might be to have slightly more substantial food to balance out the very generous amount of wine! Ahmed M2025-01-06Verified My best experience in Seville. I learned so much, the more questions you ask, the more you learn. So much of the history is tied to Arabic history, and the food was so comfortable for me. I got substitutes, so no pork. But I suggest this to anyone who wants to know the food history better, and there is so much wine, sherry etc. Plus at the end the most amazing view. I really enjoyed this experience. Adan A2024-12-18Verified Out of this world experience! Chef PJ is amazing! We visited several local Montmartre food, wine and restaurant proprietors that are dedicated to delicious, healthy and quality food ingredients. The coffee, patties, wine, cheese and desert venues were out of this world. Chef PJ cooked us a delicious meal of escargot, foie gras, and beef bourguignon. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local culture and history of Paris and super engaging! Thank you Chef PJ for a fantastic experience! It surpassed our expectations. We’ll be back in 2025 with friends to taste some more of your delicious cooking for sure! Jet649297090072024-12-07Verified Best Experience in Paris! PJ makes the tour so much fun and incredibly informative. The group I traveled with were in agreement, we could’ve taken his tour more than once and would’ve had just as much fun as the first time. If my soon to be wife and I find our way to Paris again, we’ll be booking another tour with PJ. Highly recommend! Venture339408132752024-12-01Verified Must-do in Paris We had a great time this weekend. Exceeded all expectations - a lot of information about the region and the culture around quality food, brought excellently by Chef PJ.
