Fantastic experience from a local - I was just looking for excursions for my next vacation and I literally thought “I hate tours” ….except for those tours we did in Montreal!! This!! My husband surprised me for our anniversary with an overnight in Montreal (as we live just outside the city) with this tour and the pink cycling tour. We had such a great time. I realized I never did write a review. So here it is, a little late but shows how much we loved both excursions. We did the food tour with Danny and the cycling tour with Félix. Both were awesome guides!!!! Would definitely recommend 💯

Great Saturday exploring the Market - We are 3 Montrealers that decided to join this tour to try some new local vendors and restaurants. Jeff was a great guide and we all had a really fun afternoon exploring a part of the city we don't often go to. Highly recommend!

Literally - eat and walk with Montreal locals - Three hours flew by! So lucky to have Jeff as our tour guide — he treated us to a total of 10 tastings! The biggest surprise was that half our group were actual Montrealers. What a fun and delicious way to experience this beautiful city. Thanks so much, Jeff - cheers!

Epic tour - The tour was epic. We have never really experienced anything like it and I wasn’t sure how our kids aged 13 and 10 would get on. But we all loved it! We got to try so many different foods and experience a neighbourhood we probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Amelie was fantastic and even the outing rain couldn’t take the shine off a great experience. HIGHLY recommend

Best tour ever - Wonderful tour! I’m still recalling how delightful the whole experience was because our guide, Rod, was so informative, personable, and sensitive to everyone’s needs and the food we sampled was so delicious! I’m very happy I found this tour and experienced the diversity of the food options present in the city.

THIS is the food tour - you can do bagels and smoked meat on your own time. - My husband is NOT a foodie and not your typical tourist, so I had to twist his arm to go with me and he loved the tour! This is not your bagels and smoked meat tour, this is about ethnic infusion in the area. Rod took us to lots of stops - the ones listed, plus a Latin place for pupusos, Columbian coffee and gelato. We had a great time - and cooperative weather only made it better.

What fun! Go hungry,... - What fun! Go hungry, ready to eat and walk and hear the story of ethnic foods in Montreal-Italian, Salvadorian, French, coffee, and chocolate. Our guide was Marie-she is excellent!
