Eric was a wonderful tour guide. He had a wealth of information of the surroundings
It was a pleasure welcoming you! We hope the combination of food, local knowledge, and neighborhood stops gave you a worthwhile way to experience the city. Secret Food Tours was glad to be part of your visit.
This was by far my favorite part of my visit to Montreal. I loved the candid conversation, liveliness, some history, seeing little shops. Like it was great. It was a lot of food to try but I enjoyed every minute! Highly recommend. She was great!
Thank you for coming along! We hope you found a few new favorites among the food and places we shared with you. It was a pleasure having you with Secret Food Tours.
Georgia was a great guide. The selection of tastings was great and a diverse menu. She also was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great time on the Secret Food Tour with Georgia! Loved the mix of Montreal history and its diverse food scene. Georgia was knowledgeable, fun, and engaging the whole time. Great food and a really fun way to experience Montreal. Highly recommend!
Thanks for coming along for the day! We hope you enjoyed seeing the city through some of the places our team knows best. It was great having you as part of Secret Food Tours.
Lucas (Luca) was an excellent guide – friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming from the very start. He made everyone feel at ease, and before long our group of 13 were all chatting and getting to know each other. We enjoyed a fantastic variety of food from a range of small, independent eateries, with a few delightful surprises along the way that I won’t spoil! We also got to explore an area of Montreal that we would never have discovered on our own, which made the experience even more special. The tour lasted around three hours, but it absolutely flew by. It was relaxed, informative, and very well paced. As most of the eateries are quite small, we spent much of the time standing outside, but Luca was always mindful of the local residents, customers entering the venues, and people passing along the pavement, which was much appreciated. One of the highlights was stopping at the microbrewery, where we had a reserved table to sit down, enjoy a beer, and cool off in the air conditioning—a perfect chance to recharge before continuing the tour. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, especially if, like us, it’s your first visit to Montreal or even Canada. Thank you, Luca, for such a memorable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for joining us! It was wonderful sharing the day together, and we hope you'll visit Secret Food Tours again in another city.
Georgia is an amazing tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and fun... Deliciously fun
It's always encouraging to read feedback from our guests. We're pleased the tour lived up to your expectations and became a memorable part of your travels. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
The tour itself was great, and our guide Dominique was fantastic. Unfortunately our tickets listed the incorrect meeting place and so not only did we wait in the wrong place for 20 minutes, we missed the first part of the tour while we tried to catch up with the group once we realized that we were nowhere near where the tour was. Dominique did all she could do to make sure we could find the group and make the rest of the tour enjoyable for us, and she even saved us bagels from our missed first stop. She is a gem! That said, I was disappointed that we were given the incorrect information for the amount of money we spent on the tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you enjoyed the tour overall and that Dominique helped make the experience enjoyable despite the challenging start. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We also appreciate you sharing your perspective regarding the meeting information. Feedback like yours is valuable as we continue refining the experience for our guests and look for ways to make every tour as seamless as possible. We thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future.
