You’ll sample some luscious French cheese; have a coffee and meet an artisan bread baker with the best baguettes outside Paris; we visit a temple of all things French – with oil, salt, vinegar, truffles flown in from France and many great tastes; visit a kitchenware store with some great French cooking implements; followed by 3 course lunch at a renowned bistro – with a glass of wine of course!

Thank you Suzy. It was the most perfect day. As always great venues, delicious food and fabulous people. Alex was the icing on the cake. He was so informative and generous in sharing all his extensive foodie knowledge. Just the best day. Thank you for all your input Suzy xx J 10.6.23

We loved the tour, the information each vendor shared made us appreciate their passion even more. They were also very generous in sharing their produce with us to taste. We will definitely go back to their stores to purchase.
Although we were hoping to have Maeve, Alex was exceptional and once we started realised it didn’t matter at all, he was great.
We finished the day with lunch at Bitton, which was fantastic.

I have been looking for a place to rate the French Safari I attended on Saturday, ……In one word. Fabulous. Olivier, our guide was superb. Knowledgeable, but of course you already know that, but he was fun and very entertaining too. The presenters at each of our stops were also terrific, engaging and enthusiastic. Another great thing about this day was that there was no pressure to buy products anywhere, just informative presentations, time for questions and a browse around. Though I could have filled a truck. Thank you to all the Gourmet Safari staff, and especially Olivier

I wanted to give Gourmet food Safari some fabulous feedback from Steve and I after attending our food safari yesterday on the French tour. Wow what an amazing day. It’s one of the best experiences we have had next to our round the world trip 2 years ago. We loved it! Our tour guide the wonderful Olivier was just fabulous and so accommodating. Peter our driver was great also. All the venues we went to were above our expectations and the restaurant at Rozelle La Grand Bouffe was just Scrumptious. What else can I say except we will definitely be doing another Safari tour in the future.

Dear Suzy & Maeve, I want to express what a fabulous day both Stephen and I had on Saturday. Alex is perfection; a wonderful tour guide, a wealth of knowledge and a lovely fellow. He made everyone feel so welcome and between him and John our day flowed beautifully. It was a treat to meet Maeve in the morning at Ocello, after watching many a Food Safari on television it was nice to see you in person. My brush with fame! We ate beautiful food, learnt a few culinary tricks and met new people. Thank you so much for a great day. We look forward to booking more tours with you.
