This was the highlight of our trip! We did a private tour for 2 couples, and fantastic doesn’t even begin to describe it. Our walking food tour along St. Laurent Blvd with Melissa was outstanding! Melissa’s deep knowledge of the history and cultural highlights of each neighborhood made the tour so much more than just tasting food—it was a true journey through Montreal’s diverse heritage. From Chinese to Jewish, Portuguese to Italian, and of course the iconic foods of Montreal, every dish was a perfect reflection of the community it represented. Ending at Jean Talon Market was the cherry on top! Melissa's passion, storytelling, and delicious recommendations made this tour unforgettable. A must for food lovers and history buffs alike! My tip is to skip breakfast because Mélissa does not disappoint in making sure you leave perfectly satisfied.

Fun time- Great tour! Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. A good amount of food, we were definitely full :)

Excellent tour guide, with extensive knowledge of the city's history, but also culinary details and culture. This food tour isn't just about food, it's about Chinatown's culture and history first, with food to pair with this information. It's a great mix should you like both walking tours and food tours. There is a good quantity of food, in 3 main sit-down locations + a few bites while walking, but it's mainly in the second part of the tour, the first is mainly a historical/cultural walking tour. This is different from most food tours I've been on, so to be noted if you want food, food, food and only food. For me, it was a super balance, so I'm super happy!

Other than knowing about chocolate in a general sense and that it comes from cacoa plants, this tour gave us a much better appreciation of the entire process to making chocolate. The guide, Melissa, accommodated our scheduling conflict and taught us so much at each stop. At each stop, she had us really take time to smell and taste different chocolates to appreciate the differences. At the factory the owner and Melissa talked about each step of the process from selecting cacoa seeds, drying them, roasting, separating them and we could see and taste the differences by changing something at each step. We got to try our hand at making some chocolate bars and adding nuts or other things to take with us. Not skimpy on samples, multiple samples, and all of the guides/owners were so kind, informative, and fun. It wasn't too much walking, easy pace, and our teenager enjoyed the tour (the other family had a middle schooler). It was a mix of listening and doing, so even younger kids would be able to participate and learn something along the way. Lots of visuals and the people were prepared with large pictures for us to be able to see. Highly recommend this tour.

I took my dad with me on this amazing tour and we had such a great time! We both learned so much and were very happy that we went. Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable.

Melissa took us on an amazing food tour with our vegetarian grand daughter. The food was spectacular, Melissa’s in depth knowledge of the area made it even better! Many thanks

We had a fantastic time on this tour. It was appropriate both for those who knew a lot about tea already and those who didn't. She was accommodating to my mom's special needs (mobility impaired). I thought I knew about Japanese tea, but have never experienced anything like the tea service we went to. Highly recommended.

Melissa was a fantastic guide. Her love of Montreal, it’s history and the knowledge of Chinese food and traditions was exceptional. Melissa’s enthusiasm was contagious. Lots of great food, too much by the end. The walk has lots of stops for food, and Melissa was conscious to stop and talk with benches close by, so suitable for people that are not able to walk very far. Best food tour yet.

If I could, I'll give more than 5 stars! This tour was a gift for my best friend's Birthday and it was absolutely outstanding and way beyond anything I had expected! Melissa is an amazing guide and helped us discover many new locations which we would for sure enjoy many more times in the future. All the places we have visited were extraordinary and we really enjoyed learning about the story behind each location (even met with the owners). Melissa also taught us about Montreal's history in-between the locations we were visiting and the whole tour felt like a little adventure as we walked through areas we've never been before (we are from Montreal too). The communication was super fast and the customer service was extremely good. We now plan on experiencing all of the remaining tours as Melissa's company was highly enjoyable and we can't wait to learn more about our city. Thank you!

I live in Montreal, but Melissa gave us more than a chocolate tour, which was awesome. She gave us history of Montreal that I didn't know about!

I picked this tour to do for my husband’s birthday. We had some friends come in from out of town and I also invited some locals. Melissa, the tour guide, was amazing. I’m usually not to interested in history but some how, she made it interesting. Her personality, the way she expressed herself and the facts she told us, all easy to understand and enjoy. We visited hidden supermarkets and learned of some great healing tea places! The restaurants we went to were delicious and allowed us to try things we wouldn’t normally try. The food was also abundant and we didn’t feel hungry or like we were missing anything. Even though this tour was in my “backyard” I learned a lot and would do it again. We definitely recommend this tour and will do others for sure.

Melissa was very informative and brought great energy to the tour! She provided a good amount of history of the Chinatown area as well as the surrounding area of Montreal, which we really enjoyed! All the food was delicious! There was a good variety of Asian food, starting with Banh Mi and ending with Cantonese pastry! We recommend for anyone looking to eat good food and learn a little more about Montreal!

Learned to savor and properly appreciate fine chocolate as one would a glass of fine wine. Really enjoyed the tastings as well as all the background information. Each of the stops was equally fascinating and informative. I had no idea Montreal was such a mecca for bean to bar chocolate production. Melissa is an amazing tour guide. Very accommodating and organized. We had two children with us (energetic boys: 10 and 12 years old) and she was able to engage them and was very patient with their constant questions. Our family of four had a great time. Even my husband (more of a sports fan) found this tour interesting. We also learned about the history of the neighborhood. We felt we were with a friend who was having us visit her friends who happened to be chocolate connoisseurs and producers. Best tour guide ever!

My son and I did the Ultimate Chocolate Tour. It was absolutely wonderful! Our guide Melissa was so friendly and knowledgeable! We learned a lot about chocolate and also a lot about the history of Montreal. It was fun, interesting and delicious! We loved it!!

It was so neat learning about different types of Japanese teas, the different methods of steeping (cold, hot, steeping times), and how to taste with "slurping" to get the full flavor experience. It was also very interesting to learn about the bean to bar chocolate movement, how cacao nibs are cultivated, fermented and handled to make chocolate, and how to properly taste chocolate. I loved discovering how combined flavors were so different when tea and chocolate were paired. I think this is will be my new dessert to end a great meal, i.e. with a small cup of tea and a small piece of good chocolate!
