Lots of food - This was one of the best food tours we have taken. Our guide was very informative and took us to out of the way places for a real Canadian food experience. We went to the St. Lawerance and the food and atmosphere was fantastic. Well worth taking.

Try to book with Jason - he’s the best!! - My daughter and I did the tour of St Lawrence market with Jason and agreed he was one of the very best tour guides we’ve ever had. Fun, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and chock full of terrific local stories, he made 3 delicious hours fly by! Among the tastings? Apple cake, bagels, blintzes, pierogis, Nanaimo bars, peameal bacon sandwich with maple mustard and more! We were stuffed by the end and knew so much more about Toronto. Highly recommend!!!!

An original Mother's Day Gift. - My daughter in law took myself and her mother on the tour today for our mothersday gift. Taylor, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the market's history and very personable. We enjoyed the whole experience and came home very satisfied with our outing and planning where to go next time.

100% 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.

Highly Recommended. - Loved learning things about Toronto I never knew.
Specifically
the Market but lots about the surrounding areas. This was all due to our guide Tim. Tim was an absolute mine of information. He knew the history of the building, the people in and around too.
The little tastes of the area were wonderful giving us an impression of how everything/one got to where it was was.
Very good tour highly recommended.
