Delicious and informative - We visited a delicious bakery (oldest one in the city), a fantastic chocolate shop, the farmers market (fresh raspberries) and a cheese shop. We traveled all around with our very informative guide Jean.

Surface level but pleasant - Tour felt rushed because the other party was late. However, the tour guide was kind and knowledgeable about the marketplace and townhall. I would’ve liked more in depth information about the pastries and cheeses we tried, but I was still pleased with the opportunity to try new things! Would recommend doing this tour if you have a discount.
