Unique food

Barry_W, Sept 2023

Great intro to Montreal. Some city background and some fantastic unique local foods. Local foods from different cultures, everything was fantastic!

Perfect way to spend your time in Montreal

Mitch_B, Sept 2023

Our tour guide David was very engaging and knowledgeable. We learned a lot of interesting bits of history that we didn't know and our tour took by some lesser known buildings and points of interest. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. We had a great time.

Yum...indeed yum!

Mark_S, Aug 2023

Our tour guide Sandy was an energetic and engaging hostess who introduced us to several of the city's tastes; we finished the excursion with full tummies and smiles on our faces...

Taste of Old Montreal

Edmund_K, July 2023

Great way to learn about the history of Montreal while getting a taste of local street foods. We especially enjoyed the cactus tacos at a local Mexican restaurant.

A sophosticated culinary adventure

Rperci, July 2023

Francois is a suerb guide. She blended discussion of Montreal history seemlessly into a culinary adventure. The purple taro ice cream at the final stop was a great ending to a truly terrific tour.

Food, fun and threat of rain

Peter_F, July 2023

Guides were wonderful and knowledgeable. With the threat of heavy rain, they went out and brought back umbrellas for those who needed one. Food was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the poutin and wine combination and it allowed us all to sit down for awhile and have good conversation.

Great Way To Experience Montreal!

Jessica_P, Jan 2020

We had a great time with our tour guide Kim! This tour was a great way to see Old Town. The tour provided some history on the city and we were able to experience Montreal culture - through food! All of the places that we stopped were excellent. We even went back to some of them throughout the rest of our stay in the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun way to learn about Montreal - and definitely take the alcohol upgrade.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hi! Thank you for your review! So great to hear that you went back to some vendors after the tour! We really try to highlights some of the nice spots around the city! Have a great day!

SO FUN! THE REAL MONTREAL!

Rachael S, Dec 2019

We had a terrific time on our "food tour" of Old Montreal! Our guide, Fran, was warm and funny, and knew everything! We were able to see parts of the city and EAT at places we would have never known about as tourists. The French Onion Soup is worth the price of admission! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone who comes to visit Montreal!

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hi! Thank you for the kind words! That french onion soup is something!! I'm glad to hear that you discovered new and hidden spots in the Old Montreal! Hope you have a great day!

Superbe atelier
