Guidekin's take

A bakery crawl across several neighbourhoods, each stop a prize winning boulangerie, with the guide's city history told between pastries.

Every pastry and one drink are included and the tastings add up to breakfast and lunch, but it is a long walk between the shops. 4.75 from 169 reviews at €60 per person for 3h.

In our comparison: #15 of 16 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
