Jason was a fabulous guide - knowledgeable, personable and passionate about Toronto history and food! The St Lawrence Market was awesome and he shared lots of Toronto delectables - peameal sandwich, butter tarts, Canada Dry, maple candy, mustards, and pierogis - Bon Appetit! We recommend this tour!

Great experience with Joann!

My family and I had a wonderful morning with our tour guide, Joann; eating our way through the market! Joann was very friendly, punctual and knowledgeable of the area. Our children also enjoyed this tour a great deal. Highly recommend it for the local cuisine!

Educational and fun!

We loved this tour! Kieran was knowledgeable, professional and fun! He educated us on Toronto history, along with sharing some delicious food! We went back for the Pea Meal Sandwich twice after the tour! Thanks for sharing your lovely city with us Kieran!

Love it!

Very Enjoyable

Guide was very pleasant and full of historical information. We had a good time. The food choices were excellent and we were full at the end.

A VERY GOOD (and FUNNY!!) tour! 5⭐️

Truly excellent. Having had many a food tour around the world (yes, we are this cool), there was a high bar to get over for us. Paris was incredible, Lisbon a joy. What could Toronto possibly offer that we have missed in other gastronomic epicentres? Kieran. They were missing Kieran. From the moment we met this fella, we knew we were gonna have fun first, facts a close second and then the food (and let’s be honest - who ever came to Toronto to be walked along the Dining SuperHighway??), an even closer third Peameal ham was nice. Perogies are ok. Butter tart is as it sounds and will fur the arteries of a bull rhinoceros in moments. But we enjoyed it all and laughed. A lot. We loved every second with Kieran and can not recommend his tours highly enough. He’s witty. Knowledgeable (without making you feel any dumber than genetics already does). The consummate host with what feels like a lot above the bare minimum required. Do it. Book it. You will have a blast.

Friendly and Personable

Royden did an excellent job!! He was very knowledgeable and incredibly personable. The food recommendations he made were perfect for our group, including a 9 yo, slightly picky eater. We had a wonderful time…I would HIGHLY recommend.

This was an amazing tour! Our guide had great knowledge of the area as well as the food. We were given so much food we couldn’t finish it all. He took us to the local places we never would have entered if we were on our own. Those places were our favorites. We finished in the market and it was great. We did a similar tour in Seattle and this was even better.
