Summary: It's been 6 months since I've done this tour and honestly there's hardly a day goes by that I don't think about it. It was single-handedly the best experience I had in Paris. Chef PJ is beyond knowledgeable about food and wine. It is his life and his essence. His warmth, and genuine kindness immediately put you at ease while you sample wines and enjoy delicious Parisian food. This is definitely a not miss experience. Being a Solo traveler, sometimes you're unsure of how an experience will go, but this was my most favorite experience in all the countries I've been to. Do not hesitate and immediately book this. You will not be sorry.

Summary: It was the BEST night of my month in Paris. Hands down, this is the experience you have to try. It was not cheap, but it turned out to be of great value. I joined another group while travelling alone; we soon began as strangers but became friends. No one knows Montmartre like Chef PJ. We went to places I had never heard of, taking back streets that seemed to be abandoned streets. He knows this neighbourhood like the back of his hand. I learned so much about wine and drank so much that it was well after midnight when I headed to bed, so give it a day if you are jet-lagged. There was also food, an abundance of it. My number one experience in Paris.
