Is your food tour suitable for a vegetarian or someone with other dietary requirements?

Due to the nature of creating a well balanced and thoughtful tasting experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate certain dietary restrictions. Vegetarians are more than welcome to join this tour but no replacement can be provided for the meat portion, also it is ill advised for vegans as you would miss out on the food pairing part of the tour. Please contact us at paris@secrettours.com prior to booking your tour to see if we are able to accommodate your dietary needs.

I am travelling with my family, is the tour ok for infants/children?

All guests must be 18 years of age, which in France, is the legal age for ordering and drinking in public.

I don't drink wine. Can I book your tour?

Due to the nature of the tour it would be ill advised, however each stop will be providing water for drinking and on two location you can pick a soft drink (selection depending upon availability)

Is there enough wine/food during your tour?

We found that 5 glasses of wine are plenty to enjoy over the course of 3 hours (alongside some tasty snacks along the way). For a fuller foodie experience we recommend purchasing our food upgrade.

Where do I add my discount voucher?

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

The tour is not suitable for pregnant women.

Accessibility wheelchair

Unfortunately due to the nature of Paris streets scooters and wheelchairs can not be accomodated on this tour, may we suggest you to join Le Marais instead?

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 1 hour of walking but it includes slopes, irregular stone paved roads and a few stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.

Can I choose my own wine, cheese and meat?

Our guide will take care of everything. The tour is built around the pairing of the food and wines to help you discover new tastes, however for the macaron you will be given the choice of the flavour.

Where does your food come from?

We work with wine producers and vendors that source the best products available. The food and drink we buy is top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Paris. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we go through with the tour with 4 people minimum! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
