This tour was FANTASIC! We have done a number of foodie walking tours. This was by far one of the best... and it always comes down to the guide. Eleanor was wonderful. She was full of all sorts of information about the history of the Marais area in addition to the wonderful food and wines we enjoyed along the way. You could tell she thoroughly enjoyed her job and that enthusiasm was passed along to the tour group. The group was on the larger size as last minute guests joined. But Eleanor did not skip a beat, made accommodations for the change in plans and made it enjoyable for all.
We stopped at a number of places -- cheese and wine in a market, chocolate shop, various pastry delights (cream filled chou pastry, mounds of fluffy meringue, delicate macaron), an unusual jam/jelly shop, falafel shop, escargot, charcuterie boards and more wine. I do not know if the foods chosen change with tour groups... but we left filled with new favorites and added new places to visit on future trips to Paris.
You should not be concerned about the length of the tour. The walk itself was easy even for older individuals. Plenty of stops to nibble along the way. I took my 89yr old mother on the tour. No issues.
