Afternoon of food. - It was a nice walk and all the food was good. I even got to experience a new food, the donair. Our guide discussed history and architecture, and had answers to our query.

Halifax Food Tour Delivers 🦪 - We are visiting Halifax as a celebration of our daughter's recent wedding. We are fans of food tours, and this one seemed like an obvious choice. Our guide (Jim) was knowledgeable about the region, as well as warm and friendly. His stories of Acadian culture and the history of Halifax were very interesting, and the food was excellent. It was also the first time eating oysters for both my wife and I! All in all, it was an extremely enjoyable experience in Halifax. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to sample the local maritime cuisine.

Food and facts. - Food was very good, lots of it in a short time. The guide was very knowledgable, telling stories about the history of the Harbour. Could have used extra time to digest between sampling. Overall quite enjoyable.

Does tour company train assigned guides on tour expectations or does tour company not assign correct tour guides to tour - Guide admittedly not a foodie so no info on local cuisine or dining tips. This was part of the reason we booked this tour. Food sampled was good. Guide training or guide assignment issue?

Guide Did Not Show Up - I received multiple reminders of our booked food tour in Halifax. The guide did not show up. The doorman at the front of the hotel said they are usually late. I emailed the company and confirmed it was the correct meeting spot. I called and found out the guide was on their way and stuck in traffic. I was called back and was told that the guide did not know there was a tour that day & they would send someone else. The last call was to cancel us. This was all so disappointing and a waste of our time.

We have done food tours... - We have done food tours all over the world and this one was at best underwhelming. I would put the blame squarely on the local organizers or owners. Our guide Stu, admitted that he had never done one before and had simply been told to take the group to five eateries. Not one of the places knew we were coming in advance and there was very little knowledge about the place or the food. We actually did most of the organizing. To his defense, I’m not sure whoever did the booking gave him any background. When prompted he had lots of knowledge about the history of Halifax but hadn’t been told to share any additional information but rather just take us to the food spots. It was also “sold” as an understanding about food and tips and recommendations about eating places. None of those were available. We went to five spots, three of which were within 40 meters of each other, so not much strolling. Again, I can’t blame the guide as he was set up for failure by the local organizers who obviously picked the places and who seemed happy to just take the money and not give any information or preparation to the guide. We knew we were off to a tough start when we arrived at the first restaurant and the owner was surprised we didn’t have a reservation and allowed us how lucky we were and then our guide announced that he wasn’t really a good food person. On the plus side the food was all delicious and plentiful. Definitely if this tour was any indication of Viator tours in Halifax, I would not recommend this company!

The guide was unprepared. He said he doesn’t do food. There were no reservations - Food is good. The guide makes all the difference in the experience and this guide doesn’t represent the company in a positive way.
