Montreal’s Chinatown

Rene_B, July 2022

Going to a city where you don’t know anyone and not sure what to do so you don’t waste your time, it was nice to have a tour guide like Mélissa. Her smile was so inviting and the tour was amazing. Combining the history and food of Chinatown made it even more special. You got a glimpse into the past, present and future.

Response from Host, July 2022

Thanks Rene! You and TC were fun, engaged and brought a lot of humour. It was great having you! Thanks for the envelope too. 😉

Stuffed in Chinatown

Shawna_M, July 2022

We toured China town and got a history of it and surrounding areas- we had fantastic food and tried things that I never would have known about. Our guide was charming and informative - the pace was perfect, and we had frequent breaks so it was not too taxing.

Response from Host, July 2022

Ha! I’m glad you liked it and we’re full at the end of it. You were very pleasant to have on the tour. Glad you tried new things! Thanks for writing a review

Yummy and informative

The Chinese market...would have loved to spend more time there. I would suggest to have the visit at the market at the end of the tour, that way there would be no need to carry our produce etc. for the entire tour.
