We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Secret Food Tour in Montreal! The tour itself was amazing — such a fun and delicious way to explore the city, with incredible food stops and a great mix of local flavor, culture, and hidden gems. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and we left completely full and so happy. Our guide, Dominique, truly made the experience unforgettable. She was absolutely wonderful — so kind, personable, and genuinely engaging from start to finish. She has an amazing personality, a great sense of humor, and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome right away. You can tell she really loves what she does, and her enthusiasm for Montreal and its food scene was contagious. She made the entire tour feel special, relaxed, and so much fun. If you’re considering this tour, book it — and if you get Dominique as your guide, you are in for a real treat! Highly, highly recommend!
