We had a wonderful tour with Denis on a glorious autumn afternoon. He was knowledgeable, interesting and enjoyed answering all our questions about the history of Quebec City. We booked the tour last minute and the company accommodated us beautifully! Highly recommend this tour to appreciate the history of the people of New France and to get one’s bearings of the city. We feel we would have missed out on so much without this quick moving two hour info session! We loved the city and the people. Thank you so much!

There really is no better way to get to know a city than to do a food tour! We chose this tour as it was recommended by a friend and we were so pleased we did. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable (Ben) and the timings worked perfectly. We had the best mac and cheese ever, paired with local wine which was the standout stop for us! It was a little chilly being December, but the time between stops was very manageable. Great tour and would do it again

Montreal has so much to discover that it is immensely beneficial to your experience of the city to be accompanied by a local who has lived there their entire life. The team at Montreal is hugely passionate about the city that resides within a river and is well prepared to share the history, the food, and more. City Manager Adam Marcinski has much experience in conversing with groups of people from his time as a sports coach. With an infectious smile he will be sure to leave you in high spirits and a very happy tummy (just don't get him started on badminton, or else he may not stop). He was fortunate to have been brought up by parents who greatly enjoyed their food, and would frequently explore the city in search of recommendations from friends and family.

Inclusions: Beverages, Food tasting

We planned two tours with this people one in Montreal and one in Quebec in March. Unfortunately the pandemic came and we was forced to cancel our travel form the US to Canda. Everything in our trip was refunded but this. They refused to refund our money for a service that we literally didn’t get. Fast for 9 months I’m still waiting for my refund. I highly recommend to stay away from this scammers. I try many times to resolve this directly with them and is been completely useless. My advise to you is to avoid a unnecessary headache with this people. I’m sure you can find a more reputable food tour companies in those cities.
