We arrived early at the meeting spot, and Allison was early as well. We were delighted that it was just my fiancé and I on this private tour . We began our lovely journey through the Marais with Allison pointing out interesting history and remarkable places. We are from the US and don’t speak French so the fact that her English is perfect, made it very easy to understand her. She showed us things we would’ve never found on our own. She lives in the Marais so she is intimately familiar with all t...read more

+1 photosImagine my surprise when I learned I was the only one on my tour! Allison caters to small groups, thereby, making sure she’s focused on what’s obviously her goal: to assure you have the very best time possible. One-on-ones can be awkward but Allison is very personable, proactive, a good communicator, meticulously planned and executed our itinerary to be sure I experienced the fabric of the city, passionate and knowledgeable and delivered in a way that never felt rushed, and made sure I saw de...read more






Thank you for joining me on the most refined drinking tour Paris has ever seen—two people, one mission: taste it all. You were the perfect partner in wine (and beer and even chocolate). Huge thanks to your daughter too for booking with me—clearly, good taste runs in the family. Santé and come back soon—we’ve got unfinished glasses!
Allison’s ’Potions in Paris’ tour offered a thoughtfully crafted blend of culture, cuisine and a peek into a few quiet corners of Paris that are missed by most tourists. It was a leisurely-paced tour that felt more like spending the day with a well-informed local than a typical sightseeing sprint. The tour with Allison began at the Bibliothèque Forney, nestled in the Gothic beauty of the Hôtel de Sens. Although it was brief, the stop gave a very real sense of Paris’s layered history. It’s a calm...read more
Thanks so much for the awesome review! It was seriously great hanging out with you on the tour—felt more like a fun day with friends. Hope our paths cross again soon!
This was a fun and relaxing tour. I went with a group of friends and enjoyed tasting the various beverages that we were introduced to. Some of the drinks are very much associated to France and others were a surprise to me. It also gave us a good sense of one of the more popular districts in Paris, which we continued to explore after the tour was finished. I recommend it!
Merci Lucas, it was such a pleasure to share the time with you all and I hope the rest of your trip was a success as well. Looking forward to your next visit.
