5.00Our tour guide, Lucas was great! Lively, engaging and knowledgeable of a broad variety of authentic and one-of-kind local gems! He was also well versed on the diversity of the neighborhood. Would definitely take other Montréal tours with Lucas.

5.00We loved our food tour, and our guide, Dominique, was amazing! Without the tour, we wouldn't have visited the vibrant Mile End district and wouldn't have found the spots we visited, and we are so happy we did! Dominique did a great job of sharing the history of the area and giving us tips of other places to go. All the food was delicious of course! Highly recommend to anyone interested in the food, culture, and history of the area.

5.00Éric was a fantastic guide. He offered historical tidbits about Montreal and the Golden Mile area that we weren't aware of beforehand. I enjoyed all the generous sampling from mom and pop restaurants in the area that I couldn't get to on my own. My favorite was the gravlax sandwich and the slight sweet taste of the st.viateur bagel. He was very informative, approachable and texted us a day before to make sure we were set. Even though it was quite cold out, Éric made sure we had warm seats inside at every stop. We were in a group of 10 which was a perfect size. Highly recommend!
Five Stars for Food, Fun & Youlia!

5.00We had an incredible time on the Mile End food tour in Montreal—easily a 5-star experience! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully curated and so enjoyable. Our host, Youlia, was fantastic—engaging, knowledgeable, and full of great energy. She made the whole experience feel effortless and fun while sharing interesting stories about the neighborhood and its food scene. The food itself was amazing—such a great variety and every stop felt like a new highlight. We loved getting to taste some of the best bites Mile End has to offer. One of the best parts was meeting new people along the way. It felt less like a tour and more like a shared experience with new friends. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Montreal—it’s the perfect way to explore, eat, and connect

5.00I had a very nice afternoon spent with our lovely tour guide Youlia who knows her business in terms of Canada/Montreal history, local businesses and was able to answer to all my a other people questions. The people in the group were really interactive and had many stories to share as expected (or not) when you do such a tour with diverse locations and cultures... The tour was planned from 1 to 3pm and we all stayed together up to 4pm having fun. I very much recommend this tour and Youlia as a such professional guide tour.
Eric is the best guide in all Montréal

5.00After a couple of hours with Eric (or really right off the bat), Eric was like a member of the family. What a warm, friendly and knowledgeable guide through the mom and pop food culture of Montreal! We learned so much, ate as much as we could, strolled down lovely streets... I loved this tour!
So much delicious food, one dish after another. Louis had great history information that paired perfectly with the food and the
