Highly recommend this amazing food tour! - This was incredible! I've been on a lot of food tours and this was one of the best! We were a group of 6 friends and we enjoyed every minute. The food tastings were delicious and were carefully chosen to represent Newfoundland cuisine. The two guides were fun and informed and full of personality. Their interesting and factual historical anecdotes were sprinkled with their own family memories of growing up in Newfoundland. Highly recommend this food tour for anyone visiting St. John's.

A well done food tour - This is an excellent food tour. 6 stops, with hearty portions at each stop. Dave our host, was excellent, sharing a balance of history, food, and personal stories. A well done tour in downtown St John’s.

Sights and Flavours of St. John’s - Pierre and Mackenzie did a fabulous job! Well worth the money. When we started planning our trip and what to see in St. John’s, we wanted to make sure tasting their foods was included. We realized the best and most economical way to do this was to do the food walking tour, and to do it with local guides. History, lore and tasty foods - this was a win! Thank you.

Very fun introduction to seaside community. - We had the luck of a lovely summer day to walk through this seaside community. Our guide was really fun as well as informative. The fish take on a poutine was a highlight. Be aware there was a lot of food - I had to skip dessert!

Great food and history - We were on a cruise with my husband's brother/wife and had a stop in St Johns. We decided to do this tour to get a sense of the city and its food. We had an absolutely beautiful day for the tour - which is a major bonus. Our guide was TERRIFIC (but I can't remember her name - ugh). We stopped at several local places for some interesting and great food - including moose burgers, ice cream, fish and chips, etc. Each place we stopped was as interesting as the food. She also provided us with some great history of St Johns. We walked about 1.5 mils but remember it's a hilly city so be forewarned. We certainly had plenty to eat - but pace yourself - even with small portions. Enjoy!

St John’s history and food makes for a wonderful time. - We had an excellent time. Food was top notch. Dave was incredibly educated and passionate about St John’s. We learned a lot of great factoids and history/herstory while on his tour. We ended up going to see some local musicians after his enthusiastic recommendation. Had a blast. Even went to the Rooms at his recommendation where we learned more about Newfoundland history, had a cocktail and took in the gorgeous views. Highly recommend. Arrive hungry. You won’t starve. The portions are plentiful.

Lots of local food! - We had six food stops and the food all had local roots. We had a nice variety and it was all very good. Our guide provided a lot of interesting local information along the way. There are a lot of steep steps and/or steep slopes. This tour should be advertised as NOT for those with mobility restrictions.

Food Delights - I highly recommend this tour if you want to find out what are traditional foods in Newfoundland. We spent 3 hours with Tyra, our awesome tour guide. She lead us through the streets of downtown, sharing a little folk lore, keeping us entertained and well fed with the six stops we made. She really knows the history of the area, and had great recommendations for us as well.
