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.

Going to a city where you don’t know anyone and not sure what to do so you don’t waste your time, it was nice to have a tour guide like Mélissa. Her smile was so inviting and the tour was amazing. Combining the history and food of Chinatown made it even more special. You got a glimpse into the past, present and future.

We toured China town and got a history of it and surrounding areas- we had fantastic food and tried things that I never would have known about. Our guide was charming and informative - the pace was perfect, and we had frequent breaks so it was not too taxing.

The Chinese market...would have loved to spend more time there. I would suggest to have the visit at the market at the end of the tour, that way there would be no need to carry our produce etc. for the entire tour.

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!

My husband and I went on this tour on a very cold December day but we still had a great time. The food was super tasty and Melissa, our guide, was warm, entertaining and full of fun historical facts. Even though we're both from Montreal we nonetheless discovered a lot of new places to eat and more about the history of Asian immigration to Montreal.
