Wonderful way to experience Old Montreal. We’ve been to the city several times previously but experienced this part of it in a far more in depth and experiential way. Laura our tour guide was fantastic - super knowledgeable and it’s clear she loves her work and wants guests to love and enjoy her city. Top notch - would highly recommend - great use of 3 hours!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Belly’s full in old Montreal

HenryM_S, Apr 2024

Remmy was a very knowledgeable guide. And really fun and engaging! There was plenty of food for us to consume and we were very full by the end of it. Would highly recommend for someone else to do it, especially if you want to get the lay of the land of old Montreal.

Amazing experience! MUST DO!

Kennedy_T, Mar 2024

It was my first time in Montreal and I am so happy we did this tour! We had amazing food, learned lots of history and had a great tour guide!! Without doing this tour, we would be passing up on many amazing eating spots that we would have never found on our own (some we went back to again because we loved it so much!) The portions were also a decent size so it was totally worth the money! This is something I would recommend to everyone. My boyfriend is a picky eater and he loved everything. I would definitely do this again when I come back to Montreal.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Kennedy, We're delighted you had a great tour and enjoyed the food! Your recommendation means a lot to us! We can't wait to welcome you back on your next visit to Montreal.

Outstanding tour guide -...

Michael_S, Mar 2024

Outstanding tour guide - entertaining, informative and very helpful with all of our questions. The venues chosen for the food tour were also excellent, as was the food and drink offered at each stop.

Eat you way around Montreal Old Town

3 Hours-Six Amazing Dining Experiences -One Amazing Tour Guide

John_B, Feb 2024

What better way to spend a cold Montreal day than a food tour. Six cozy restaurants over three hours while learning a lot about the culture, food, and history of Old Montreal. Ronny our tour guide was amazing and his love and passion for his job was clearly on display. For the price, quality of restaurants and food and beverages served combined with an awesome tour guide makes this an absolute for any foodie.

Must do to get a sense of what Montreal has to iffer

Carl_N, Feb 2024

The interesting food and the history of Montreal. The tour guide was very enthusiastic. I was hoping there would be more drink pairings

Go on this tour!

Ken_F, Feb 2024

Our guide, Laura, was wonderful mixing humor and history in the Old Montreal Food & Drink Tour. We started with bagels at Crew Collective & Café and then ended with a wonderful craft beer at Bristro Brasserie Soeurs Grises. Laura gave us background on all of the places we visited and we learned a bit of the history of Old Montreal. I highly recommend this tour. The walking definitely helps after you eat the poutine which was wonderful. If you get Laura, tell her Ken from Rhode Island said "Bonjour!"

Great tour!

lgivelas, Jan 2024

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks for taking the time to leave this great review!

An amazing blend of food and culture!

Ana_C, Jan 2024

This was by far the best food tour we’ve done anywhere in the world! All of the food was incredible but the cultural and historical aspect that tied in seamlessly to the food tour was so cool. We went back to two of the stops on the tour the next day and got great restaurant recommendations from our guide, too. This is a wonderful tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Wow, thanks for such an amazing review! Our goal is to make you explore Montreal and it's culture through our tastings, so we're so glad to hear that you were able to fully appreciate that!

A must do in Montreal
