Eric was a fantastic tour guide! We learned a great deal about the history of Quebec and Montreal from Eric as well. The food tastings were amazing. Eric encouraged us to sample tastings which we were not accustomed to….a great suggestion! Thank you all again so much for a great experience. I highly recommend all to take this tour!

Eric was one of the best tour guides we’ve had and we’ve done many group tours over years of traveling. Enthusiastic without yelling t/o. Informative and very kind. Made an effort to check in and include everyone, frequently asking how we were doing and what we liked and didn’t. Really appreciated this!
