3. Choose your tour
4. You'll need a smartphone with a SIM card for active Internet connection and a set of headphones. Go to the starting point of the tour
5. Open the link to the tour you selected and bon voyage!
How does it work:
After payment is made, we send a link to your inbox that gives you access to our Internet-based platform. The package includes an introduction and some general instructions and is ready for use, as soon as you decide which tour/s to take (you can choose from one to four tours). When you’re ready to start, open the email we sent you on your mobile device, and click the link inside to open the web page of the tour. The page includes a map of the tour. To navigate from point to point in the tour, simply scroll down the web page to the next point of interest, where you will receive essential details and information, along with suggestions about must try tastings or purchasing recommendations. When you reach a main attraction in the tour, the web page will display a video with a professional audio guide that will talk you through the culinary touring point with facilitating images. Most of the information is audible because when you listen to the information your eyes are free to take in the sites so that you will have the ultimate culinary experience of Paris. We will recommend an item to taste or purchase in every point in the tour. Some stops will suggest a tasting at the shop, and others will guide you to buy some items and walk over to a charming seating place, where you can enjoy a small picnic together. You will receive clear and detailed instructions mostly by audio and some through text throughout the tour.
The HungryParis self-guided tours are best when taken with a companion/s, so you can share more items from the suggested tastings throughout the tour than you would alone, without getting too full in the middle of the tour. The tours are also suitable for individuals, especially if you can adapt the number of tasting items to your capabilities. You can also split a tour (over a couple of days for example), or take some of the tasting items with you to have later, where you are staying.
