A really great “foodie” tour. Our guide, Serge, was very engaging and knowledgeable and his English was impeccable. The food selections and restaurants were chosen with care, and were varied. We sampled a tomato salad, French onion soup, flambéed shrimp, a wagu beef dish and a mousse (at a Micheline Star resturant), with accompanying wine and beer selections. We are not shrimp eaters and the tour was able to substitute a fabulous Caesar Salad and motzuella cheese specifically for us. An absolute great tour and tour guide. I’d highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time. Our guide, Pierre was knowledgeable telling us fun and interesting facts. All the food was delicious. Good pace, nice group of people too. I recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour! Our guide, Pierre, was interesting, informative and enjoyable to listen to. We went to four restaurants, each completely different. The courses started with the lightest, and the tour finished with a heavier, more substantial meal. The food was excellent and served with wine. No need for dinner that evening. The restaurants were interesting and architecturally diverse. Great adventure, especially for foodies!
Etienne took us to four wonderful restaurants and gave a fantastic tour around old Quebec City. He was very knowledgeable and fun to spend the afternoon with.
This is a “must do” when you are considering a visit to Quebec City! Danielle is an incredible guide who does a wonderful job of weaving the history of Old Quebec with a knowledge of the local food culture. The restaurants were fantastic!
I have been on many food tours. I'm so bad with names but I have to say our guide was amazing!! Great personality with more energy then me!! She was fun, knowledgeable and she was so nice!! Though the food tour was a little pricey, I found it to be worth the price. The portions were huge, the selections phenomenal and the restaurants were so appropriate for our place of travel. We even tried to get back into two of them for dinner the following night but they were booked. Just thinking of the items we ate my mouth is watering. It was really probably the best food I have eaten on a food tour and just fantastic food in general. I highly recommend this food tour!! Actually we just picked it by the details and recommendations on line. Really good Choice!! Can't say enough!!
Our guide Pierre was excellent. Great food experience. Very accommodating with dislikes of food. It was a very easy pace. The restaurant staff was very friendly and made sure we had a great experience.
Out tour guide Danielle was a great guide. She took time and care with our group. The food selections were absolutely fantastic.
This food tour was wonderful. Jocelyn was our tour guide. She knows Quebec’s history and shared a lot of good information with us. The food stops were excellent - included was a wonderful meal at a one star Michelin restaurant! I would recommend this to everyone!
This was an amazing tour - blending different foods of Quebec with wine and beer, and history of the city along the way. Marie was an excellent guide. Highly recommend. And make sure you are hungry - it is a lot of food.
