YAY DO IT! - This was such a fun tour! Our guide Emre made the whole tour. He was just the sweetest and was full of information about Halifax I learned a lot. He took us to such great spots by the end I felt like I kinda knew my way around. I’m a super picky eater and I was still able to find something yummy on this tour. Emre is a huge reason why we will be returning to Halifax! Thank you so much we had so much fun!

Emre was the best! - We had an amazing afternoon with Emre! He was gracious and fun and the conversation just flowed. It was the most wonderful thing to do on a cold winter day to have a delicious bowl of chowder. The spacing of the restaurants, the variety of the food and most importantly the company and conversations were fabulous.

Great Food Tour; Very Knowledgeable Guide. - We had a terrific food tour in Halifax with Evan. The food was great (especially the seafood chowder and the oysters) and Evan was very knowledgeable, not only about the food, but also about Halifax and its history. He explained in great detail the differences between the various types of oysters we were offered. By the time our tour ended, we were not only happily stuffed with great food, but also felt like we had taken a short course on the history of Halifax. And we appreciated his suggestion that we check out the Maritime Museum if we had time - we spent our last morning in Halifax there and didn’t regret it. We highly recommend this tour!

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.
