Quebecoise food and Canadian history

Outstanding guide with delicious stops

Pierre was outstanding - highly knowledgeable and extremely polite. The stops we made were very well selected and provided us a nice overview of the local food. We are even considering one of our stops for dinner.

Wonderful and balanced walk of old Quebec City.

Let’s Eat Québec, bit by bit!

Sandi_B, Apr 2024

Pamela was exceptional! Lively, personable, educational! Her love of history was a delight-and changing her earrings to match each tasting clever and added mire fun! Food tastings were diverse and tasty, savory to sweet-

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Sandi, We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Pamela and appreciated her unique touches! Thanks for highlighting our diverse food tastings too!

Fun and delicious

Nadia_M, Apr 2024

Pamela was terrific, weaving in historical tidbits as we walked between restaurants. Each stop was fun, interesting and delicious. Our only recommendations: the last stop included a gin tasting. It would have been nice to offer a wine option. Also, it would have been nice to end the tour with something sweet instead of poutine which was delicious but a bit heavy after all of the other goodies. Overall, a great way to taste local foods and meet other travelers from all over the world! Merci!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback, Nadia! We're pleased you enjoyed your experience with Pamela. We appreciate your suggestions for a wine option and ending on a sweeter note.

Great grazing experience
