The tourist trap
- Endless scrolling sessions to find a restaurant everyone knows.
- An hour line to eat a defrosted croissant.
- A group of 20 people that you don’t even know.
- Not even time to grab a coffee or for a shopping stop.

Your coolest friends in the city.
We’re three girls who love two things: discovering cities and eating our way through them.
We got tired of spending hours figuring out where to go, what to eat and what was actually worth our time.
So we decided to do the work ourselves.
Every Localist route is walked, tasted, timed and tested by us - from the first coffee to the last stop.
No random recommendations.
No tourist traps.
Just places we’d send our own friends.

Our first localists approved it.
As a Parisian, I loved it and even discovered new places! The sandwich was delicious!
Great tour!! The food spots were delicious and the walk really complete! I recommend it 100%!
A really good tour to discover this corner of Paris and some great places to eat.
We were warmly welcomed by the restaurant owners. We loved going inside Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. Montmartre at night was lovely, without the crowds. Everything we ate was really good. Thank you!!!
My partner and myself enjoyed every moment of this tour. We love to travel the world and we always do a lot of research when it comes to restaurants and the Localist app made it so easy. Everything was also very easy to navigate. Don’t forget to walk around the vintage shops while doing the tour!
Frequently asked questions
How does a tour work?
You download the app, book your tour and once it starts, you just have to simply follow the itinerary, explore the neighborhood and enjoy the carefully selected local spots along the way. No guide, no group, no fixed schedule.
Is the food included?
Yes! All tastings included in the tour are covered in the price. You won’t need to pay anything extra at the stops included in your itinerary - except if you crave something that is not included.
How many people can join the tour?
Our food tours are designed to be enjoyed with whoever you’re traveling with - whether that’s just you, a partner or a group of friends. Choose the experience that fits your trip and enjoy it at your own pace.
Can I do the food tour whenever I want?
You’ll choose the date of your food tour when booking. On that day, you’ll have a 10-12 hour window to complete the itinerary, depending on the tour. We give you a suggested duration, but you’re free to go faster or take your time - as long as you stay within the opening hours of the spots along the route.
