Cancelled ( with incorrect texts and emails saying it was confirmed)

1.00Tour was cancelled , then confirmed four times after cancellation. The cancellation was hidden in three other emails—and followed by four other emails, texts, and the ticket itself all confirming. I travel all the time, and I’ve never had such bad communication. We went on our own to the market, since we were already on our way. Do better!

Our guide, Lucas, was great: knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the neighborhoods of Little Italy and Jean Talon Market. The tastings were diverse and well-chosen. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Montreal’s culinary scene with a local touch.
