Guidekin's take

Pick your discipline — baguette and croissant lamination or macarons — and learn it hands-on with a French baking expert.

A flexible, family-friendly format for households that can't agree on a pastry.

In our comparison: #56 of 88 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
