We did the Toronto St Lawrence Market food tour in October with Yulia as our guide. She was fantastic! She's very knowledgeable about Toronto and also further afield, giving us some great tips for travel to other Canadian cities. Our food stops were all excellent with delicious items to eat, and a great mix of savoury and sweet. Highly recommend.

Very nice visit, we discovered really interesting places. Our guide Yulia gave us a lot of explanations and was very good at answering our questions. you have to book online, they are small groups (maximum 12 people), single people can register. The portions are quite generous, at the end of the tour which lasts about 3 hours we were no longer hungry. It was a great experience.
Great way to munch your way round the market and distillery quarter

Had a great time on this experience, well worth the money. Our guide, Paris, was lovely, very friendly and knowledgeable about both the food and a lot of the local history too. Food was so good I kept forgetting the camera is supposed to eat first!

The site seeing was limited to St Lawrence Market because of two broken pipes at the other market. The samples of food was tasty and helped us decide what we return to purchase. The poutine was the best we ever had. Props to Paris who is extremely knowledgeable about the Toronto area.
