Delicious Montréal food tour

5.00We took the Little Italy and Jean Talon Market tour in Montreal. Eric was our guide and he knew all the local spots to go to, including eating pizza in a supermarket! The tour also takes you through the streets of Little Italy and Eric shares so much history of the city and the area with you during the walk. Once in Jean Talon Market, you get time to shop on your own and look around before finishing off with mici and sorbet. This was such a great way to try lots of different foods ans see the area. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Montréal!
Amazing Montréal food tour

5.00We took the Little Italy tour in Montreal with Eric and it was amazing. He knew so much history of the area that we were learning lots while eating throughout the tour! The food we tasted also highlighted some really great local restaurants we probably never would have found on our own. For the second half of the tour, our food was in the Jean Talon Market and we also got time to explore the market. We loved seeing all the vendors ans fresh produce. And the sorbet was unbelievable! Would highly recommend this tour if you are in Montreal!

5.00The ride is very nice. It allows you to visit the Little Italy district and the surrounding Jean Talon market towers a little away from the crowds, in independent establishments. The tastings that Eric made us do were all delicious. Special mention for the San Gennaro cafe, where I ate the best cannoli of my life.
Youlia was the tour...

5.00Youlia was the tour guide. She was very knowledgeable with the food and history. Because of the cold and icy weather, she made sure everyone was all right when we went to each stop.

5.00Eric was a fantastic guide. He communicated frequently before the tour to make you aware of what to expect and allow for any dietary restrictions. The tour was well organized and every tasting was delicious. My favorite was the espresso and cannoli. Eric gave a very nice history of Montreal and how each stop blended into that history. I highly recommend it.
