We had such a nice time on this tour! We really got to know the area well, and we were introduced to restaurants that we never knew about. Getting to know the history of the area was an unexpected bonus. Thanks so much!

Excellent tour. Our guides, Scott and Dave, walked us through the history of the Junction with stops along the way to taste the ethnic blend of cuisine that defines the neighbourhood. From Maltese pastry pockets to Jamaican mac and cheese, this tour is peppered with edible experiences. Special praise for Chica's Chicken, seriously the best thing ever!
Amazing guides and amazing food!

Scott & Dave took us on a great trip around the Junction, seeing some of the neighbourhood and understanding the history of how it came to be. I appreciated the knowledge on the history of some diasporas that settled in the area as well as the importance of these diverse groups to the culture of the Junction. The 6 stops we made on the tour showcased some of these!
A great experience

Also enjoyed meeting the other members of the tour, all of whom were food lovers interested in learning more about their city of Toronto.

Scott was an excellent guide. He's very knowledgeable about the history of the area and great places to eat. The food options were delicious and unique, and he's flexible to customizing the tour to individual preferences /restrictions. The best part was the casual/intimate vibe, Scott took the time to get to know us on a more personal level and we weren't rushed at all. He also pointed out additional shops/restaurants of interest that are unique to the area. Thank you for an excellent tour!
