Active tour for tea lovers and curious beginners

Sara_M, Jul 2024

Very informative tour incorporating the history of Montreal's varied areas and the history of tea. The tastings were delicious and highlighted the complexity of tea and some delicious food. We particularly loved the noodles! Melissa did a great job and we appreciated the walk along the less traveled, green streets and alleys observing lots of murals and street art.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks so much Sara. Your presence on the tour was appreciated! It was a lovely day! Take care!

Fun tour of tea and Montreal

Amanda_T, Jul 2023

I enjoyed tasting various teas and learning about the history of tea, and how it is made. Also learned about Montreal and saw some of the city

My pleasure!!!

Walking and tea and pure city enjoyment!

Leslie_T, Aug 2019

Enjoyed a nice ramble through Montreal, with stops and five tea salons, including one school. I thought wine was complicated until I learned about tea! Ended the day with a beautiful tea and sandwich. Loved hearing all the little histories of Montreal. Our guide was charming and enthusiastic. A total delight!

very enjoyable and varied introduction to: tea plant, tea drinks, tea industry several neighborhoods in montreal the hip, urban vibe of some cafes and businesses serving locals, tourists, restaurants, and those studying to be tea sommeliers. Tour guide was personable and upbeat. My wife and I enjoyed the drinks, sights, and chance to glimpse an interesting slice of life in Montreal. I'm very likely to try a different tour by the same company next time we're in Montreal.

What a great way to spend an afternoon! Great tea, excellent, knowledgeable guide friendly, too, very relaxed and informational. We enjoyed all the stops along the way and the high tea at the end. THE most enjoyable experience of our Montreal trip, and our trip was a great one all-around! If we every return to Montreal, we will do this tour again!

Wow- what a fantastic way to spend a snowy afternoon in Montreal! Our guide was amazing and we learned so many new things about both tea and Montreal. One highlight was the inclusion of a formal lesson at an official tea tasting school that featured a classroom environment similar to one that might train a wine sommelier only for tea. Another highlight was a stop at speakeasy with tasteful décor and mixed drinks featuring various teas. The magical afternoon culminated with high tea at a lovely tea parlor. Walking through the softly falling snow in the streets of Old Montreal punctuated by warmth and hot tea is the perfect afternoon!

This was an awesome tour of several Tea Houses and It really opened my eyes to the benefits of tea. I learned a great deal from our guide and she was an excellent teacher and very friendly and pleasant to be with. I would highly recommend this tour as a more up close way to see Montreal, the neighborhoods, and a fun Mixology place. There was a lot of walking and then some Uber rides for the long distance. She was accommodating if we didn't want to walk too far.
