Very fun food tour - I went on this tour of Jean Talon market with Danny. This was fun and full of delicious bites (was pleasantly full at the end). Danny took us to his favorite non-touristy spots that I wouldn’t have been able to find on my own. He’s also a killer guide and gave me some restaurant recs (everyone also got an excellent list at the end). Highly recommended!

Unique, fun, and delicious - Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly! She made.sure to take care of all of the food allergies and vegetarians in our group, and explained interesting and unique insights into life in Montreal. The food was delicious, and unexpected.

5 star tour - Our best tour yet! It delivers what it promises- a non touristy approach which gives you a feel for less visited neighbourhoods through walking and tasting some amazing food. Our guide Amélie was wonderful- super friendly and extremely knowledgable - not only about the food and how it was prepared but also about the areas we visited. There wasn’t a question we asked that she didn’t know the answer to! And as the group sizes are small it’s easier for everyone to feel included. We got to stop and taste at a good range and number of places during the three hours so we felt it was good value for money.

Unique experience, great food, small group - great tour! - This is an amazing tour!!! My husband and I were looking for something different than the usual tours and really enjoyed our day trying food from Montreal’s smaller entrepreneurs. The guide, Rufus, was extremely knowledgeable (he is a History teacher who lives in the neighbourhood) and is a great storyteller. We enjoyed all of the food and the small group experience was fantastic too. I have already recommended it to friends.

Would do it again! - This was an amazing tour. Off the beaten path and a huge range of great and diverse food. Marie was a great tour guide and highly recommend her and this tour. Small local Salvadorian restaurant to a mushroom forager in the farmers market and a local award winning chocolatier and a great Italian bakery… plus more. The whole family loved this tour!

Perfect mothers Day! - The tour guide Rufus was exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, and proud of his neighborhood. The market was the highlight of the tour, but every stop was a treat, literally! Great combination of food and Montréal history. Highly recommend this tour!
