We had fun tasting various food and drinks. Our guide, Jo, combined food tasting with local history and made it interesting. For example we went to The Boss restaurant for tasting and learned about The Boss, the grizzly bear. Jo is very friendly and we enjoyed our tour very much.

A wonderful Tour
This was such a great tour. The food was amazing and we were able to visit so many places. A great way to learn about Banff while eating such delicious food. It was fun being able to go to places I wouldn’t have known about had I not been able to learn from Joanna. She is a wonderful guide who made the tour very enjoyable. Thank you.

NOT TO BE MISSED!
Plan your trip to Banff around this tour! Seriously.
We had an amazing time on our Taste of Banff tour with Joanna- she really went above and beyond to make it a fun yet very informative tour. We booked the tour for our first day in Banff and this made our entire stay so much better. We revisited some of the places from the tour during our stay they were that good and Joanna's recommendations outside of that were spot on also. Definitely ensure you are hungry before this tour- the amount of food and drink was beyond what I'd imagined. Joanna's local knowledge and informative tour made it all so worthwhile, as did the personal touches she added. Not to be missed!

A great way to kick off...
A great way to kick off our time in Banff! We got to try a nice variety of food that we probably wouldn't have picked on our own, and it was just the right amount without feeling too heavy. Jo shared some interesting history about the area and gave us lots of great recommendations for other shops and places to check out. We ended up going back to several of the places we visited on the tour. It finished at a rooftop bar with one of the best views in Banff—such a great way to end the experience!
Operator response
Thank you so much... and you're right! We did finish off on the best patio in Banff! What a sight, eh? Thank you for such an incredible review :-)

Thank you - We are now food tour junkies.
This was an amazing journey through the history of Banff and all food was delicious. Jo was an incredible guide and we highly recommend her. My only regret was that we didn't book this sooner in our trip so that we could go back and revisit all the wonderful places for a full meal. I did go back for the tacos!! Make sure to tell her about any food restrictions prior to your experience, this is super important! I have already booked another food tour back home because we loved hers so much!
Operator response
YAY!!!! We're all food tour junkies now!!! So proud to hear this!!!! Thank you!!!

Banff Foodie Tour with Joe
Great food, and great fun, with a great guide. Joe was excellent
on our Banff Foodie Tour. She was very knowledgable regarding
the various offerings available in the town of Banff. It was great
fun and we came away "stuffed" with a solid appreciation of
Banff culinary delights.

Thank you so much! What a lovely review :-)
We did have a lot of fun.

Must do! In a word - “Yum”
We always book a food tour early on whenever we travel somewhere new to try some of the local delicacies and learn about the area. This one did not disappoint and would highly recommend. “Jo” was awesome and all the food was excellent. She used her time well and her choices were spot-on. She mixed in some history and led us pt some great photo ops. #DuckWings #StickyToffee
