Awesome variety of food~drink pairings in rejuvenated downtown core - What a fun (and filling) tour! We live in NOTL and chose this tour to discover new “date night” spots in the region. This tour did not disappoint, we loved all of our stops and the fun and informative guide Aleks! We can honestly say that we will return to all of our stops for full meals or cocktails this summer. We have been on many food tours (all over North America) and this one was different (better) because each spot allowed us to sit down and enjoy our food - drink pairings in a relaxed, fun and welcoming way. At each spot either an owner or other senior staff member gave us some history of the resto and we had a nice chat. This personal touch was so special. We 100% recommend this tour and make sure you go hungry!!

Afternoon well spent. - All four food experiences were excellent. Wide variety of food, and enough food that we finished with a few take out boxes of food. Out host, Aleks, was very gracious and knowledgeable about each food experience, and St Catherines as well. Our favourite experience was Taco Embassy for the food. Ludology Boardgame Cafe had some truly unique cocktails, and was a lot of fun. We also loved the wine pairing at Incoho, and ended up going to the winery to pick up a bottle of the wine. Highly recommended!

Would definitely do this again! - Took this walking tour in April and it was the best! I wanted to do a tour when I visited the falls but was not too excited for another wine tour. Saw this tour and decided to give it a shot. It was so worth it! Our guide was very very kind, knowledgeable and amazing ! Food at every restaurant was delicious and the drinks paired great with every dish. I would recommend maybe bringing a small bag for left overs as there is alot of food !

Food Tour Fun with Friends - My friends and I had a really great time on the walking food tour. It was a great way to enjoy the Niagara food scene and discover new restaurants. It would be suitable for both tourists and locals. The owners of the restaurants were really nice and explained the history of their restaurant as well as a detailed explanation of the food they were serving. We had 2 vegetarians and 2 meat eaters in the group and there was something delicious for all of us at each restaurant. Highly recommend!

Very disappointed - As having past experiences with Viator and food tours this was not a good experience. The tour was shortened by an hour , the food was not good . The restaurants were dirty . Definitely not worth the money ! The tour was not as the description says . Last stop was supposed to give a charcuterie board , but we received one cookie a piece in replace of the restaurant not being open . Very disappointing experience! Not worth 108 pp

DON'T!!!!! - We waited for a hour and tour operator never showed up. Ruined an entire day of our vacation. Unprofessional and unreliable.
