    After a brief introduction to Old Town Toronto (the neighbourhood where this tour takes place), your guide will walk you past Berczy Park which features a stunning new fountain, on the way to one of their favourite coffee shops for a brew of your choice (coffee or tea), and then to a little sandwich shop nearby which is reputed to have the very best apple cake in the world. You can decide for yourself after a taste of it! It’s a truly local spot we love introducing our guests to. From there, you’ll make your way to St. Lawrence Market - National Geographic once declared it the “Best Food Market in the World” - where you will learn about the origin of Toronto’s official signature food: the peameal bacon sandwich, which is a must-try food in the market. Celebrity chefs from Emeril to Anthony Bourdain have bitten into one of these, and now it’s your turn. Time will be spent inside St. Lawrence Market visiting vendors on the two retail levels and sampling foods that have played an important role in the cultures of immigrants who settled here over the past two centuries, as well as foods which have become so common in this region it’s often a shock for locals to learn some of their favourites are virtually unknown outside of Ontario! Each stop is a chance for your guide to tell you a little piece of Canadian history and about how the food fits into the cultural landscape of Canada and within their own lives. Each stop also offers the opportunity to interact with vendors, ask questions, and learn even more from the experts! Foods of your tour can include butter tarts, mustard and pretzel sticks, ginger ale, Montreal-style bagels, cheese curds, pierogis, maple candy, and more! The final stop on the tour will be a local pub which has been around for decades. This spot not only serves the popular French-Canadian dish known as poutine; they do a variation on it which shows the creativity that comes with being unbeholden to any specific culinary tradition! By the end of this tour, you will not only have a better understanding of what Canadian food is, but also a little bit about about what it means to be Canadian!

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!

This tour is a must for visitors to Toronto. Our guide, Kieran, was outstanding. We have been on several private tours, but never had the delightful and engaging conversation we had with Kieran. His intelligence and dry sense of humor made the tour even more fun. The walking portion of the tour is short, but pleasant. You see green space along with interesting architecture. We heard many intriguing historical facts along with very tasting some fantastic treats! Each item we tried was delectable and it was difficult to find a favorite. The St. Lawrence Market is such a cool place to find fabulous food, a multitude of sweets and unique souvenirs. We will definitely visit the market on our next visit to the city.
