Food & history gems - This was a great way to learn about unique vendors and interesting facts about Jean-Talon Market, Little Italy, & the history about the broader Jean-Talon neighborhood. I learned a lot of information which I would not have known if I visited by myself.
Christian was our guide and he's a Montrealer at heart. He was also incredibly helpful with answering our questions about visiting the greater Montreal area. He even took the time to give us recommendations after the tour ended.
If you're interested in the Montreal and Quebecois food scene, or want ideas of food items you can pack and bring back home, this is a great experience to book.

Perfect for families! - We picked this tour of Jean talon market for our famiky of 5 because with the limit being 6 it's like booking a private tour.
We loved it! Even our teens who don't love anything :) loved it.
The timing, the presentation, the food, the little picnic with the produce we bought at the jean talon market, everything was 10 out of 10. And the guide, she was just awesome.
Highly recommend!

Good but needs to update their ad - It was very interesting and our guide was very energetic and enthusiastic.
However, the ad claimed we would get to taste the food at various stalls which didn't happen. Apparently, you guys were supposed to update the ad but haven't. In any case, this counts as false advertising and I cannot give this more than an average score.
In summation, great if you're looking for an interesting and informative your, but be disappointed if you're expecting samples from the vendors.
