5.00Eric was super knowledgeable about the area and I liked hearing his personal stories. The food choices tasted great, and the walking in between stops gave us nice little breaks, but was not too much walking for my family of four including two teens.
Super fun

5.00Eric’s tour was excellent. Great variety of stops along the way. He reached out in advance and made sure everything was in order. Best stop was the focaccia at Roxy. Loved seeing the Jean Talon market as well.
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!

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!
