All places are chosen thanks to their outstanding quality and friendliness toward people and customers. Let us show you another side of Paris!

A private tour is a tour organized for your party only: you are the only participant in the tour and the guide is dedicated to your party. This type of tour offers a few advantages:
- It is completely tailored to your pace, needs and interests
- It is organized around your schedule
- You do not have to wait for other participants

No, we only offer private guided tours.

Our guides are passionate local food experts in fields like chocolate, pastries and regional specialties. Most of them are licensed guides, which means that they hold a university diploma (license, master or PhD) in art history or history on top and that they are fluent in English.

Yes, all our guides are fluent in English.

We follow a very strict recruitment process including:

- Regular interview

- Screening of the reference letters and recommendations

- Sample tours: we try ourselves our guides on a selection of tours to check that they meet our quality criterias in guiding (in terms of knowledge, passion, level of English etc).

On top of all that, we continuously ask for our clients' feedback to help our guides improve the quality of their guiding.

We have several tours specifically designed for families with children from 6 to 12yrs old. The rest of our tours, however, are designed for adults or teenagers with an interest/curiosity for food (chocolate, pastries etc). There is no minimum age requirement. Of course, it depends on the personality and interest level of your children.

Our private guided tours last about 2 hours,which is enough time to introduce you to a wide range of chocolates, and also the time by which you get quite full.

Unfortunately, the shops do not offer any toilet for us.

Yes, of course! We do run private tours for solo travellers, this is no problem.

Yes, our website allows you to book online and pay for your private tour. Please note, however, that same-day or next-day reservations should be done per phone (+33 7 77 94 14 01) or email at carine@chocolatetour.fr as we will first need to check the availability of our guides.

Everything is included in our prices (except tips): food, drinks etc.

We select the best small shops and most of the time there is no queue at all (or only a very short queue) - Update COVID: we now face some restrictions in the shops, which might lead to waiting time

No, unfortunately, we cannot hold option for our private tours.

In most of the shops we visit, it is forbidden to use any camera inside but you are free to take pictures from outside.

Please give us a call on +33 7 77 94 14 01 or send us an email at carine@chocolatetour.fr and we will try to find the best guide for you, even at the last minute!

Yes, our online secured payment platform accepts Visa and Mastercard. Our payment options are flexible, and designed to make your checkout as easy as possible. We generally ask you to pay upfront a booking deposit by credit card and the remaining amount on the tour date or a few days before.

Unfortunately not. In order to sign up for any of our private guided tours, we require at least an upfront deposit payment by credit card through our website.

Paris Chocolate Tours provides a full refund for cancelled reservations up to 7 days before the tour date. We regret that we cannot offer refunds for tours cancelled within a week of the scheduled appointment.

Our private walking tours go ahead as planned, rain or shine (our guides will look for ways to keep you comfy and mostly out of the rain).

If you are running late for your private tour, please do contact your guide or our offices to let us know. Your guide will wait for you for up to 30 minutes at the arranged meeting point. Please note that, if you arrive late at the meeting point, your private tour may be shortened to finish at the original scheduled time.

Yes they do. Tips are much appreciated by our private guides, but are certainly not expected. If your private guide has been excellent, please do not hesitate to give him some tip at the end of the tour.

The besttimes are always morning, and during week days.

You should receive an email from us within 48 hours. More than likely this will be a confirmation email with all the details of your private tour: guide contact details, meeting point, maps etc. If we are unable to provide a private guided tour that you have requested or if your request is taking longer to fulfill than planned, we will let you know per email as soon as possible.
