Amazing tour! Food stops were phenomenal and the history added a deeper understanding of the area I had never explored even though my family is still in the area!

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.
