    The Must Do Toronto tour is a wonderful tour whether you're a local or someone visiting from out of town. Our tour guide, Damian, was so friendly and was a well of knowledge. The tour was well thought out and brought us to different cuisines that make Toronto unique. The food was delicious and I learnt so much facts about the culture and the city while we ate. Wear your walking shoes but at no point was I bored as Damian kept us entertained as we went from location to location. And come on an empty stomach because this tour will fill you up with an abundance of food!

    My husband and i really enjoyed their Kensington Market Taste the World Tour. I wish I skipped breakfast before the tour as all the food samples were quite generous and very filling. Damian is so knowledgeable when it comes to the neighbourhood history and there were a lot of very interesting facts throughout the tour. We can also see that he had an amazing relationship with the local store/restaurant owners.

    We loved hearing about the history of Kensington. Our guide, Odile was very well informed. The food was all tasty but we could have used more :)

    Being born in Toronto I always wanted to know more about the market and this tour was amazing. Food was great and so was the tour guide (Odile). Her knowledge was incredible, she actually owned a shop in the market for many years. You will leave full of history and lots of good food.

    Great tour. Lots more history than expected (bonus). Tried foods I would never have had any knowledge of. Great way to get to know Kensington Market. Great guide...can't remember his name...young guy with long, dark hair. He was informative and fun. Thanks for a great afternoon.

    We had a great experience on our Kensington Market food tour! Our guide, Damian, was very knowledgable and friendly and made the tour fun. The stops offered a nice variety of foods, and everything was delicious and generously portioned.

    Damian and team are amazing, we have been using them frequently for our corporate events and have only good things to highlight. The chocolates that they feature are outstanding. Damian also does a great job on sharing the history and story behind of how these chocolates are made - they clearly know about this!

    Audrey was a phenomenal chocolate tasting guide! For my first tasting experience, she set the bar high, and thanks to Tasty Tours I've since introduced my family to the world of craft chocolate. The tasting began with an incredible history of craft chocolate-making, and the tasting itself was interactive and so much fun. Highly recommend!

    We did a Kensington tour for Mother’s Day with my mom and sister, it was 2,5 hours and time flew by! It was informative, fun and, of course, delicious. The amount of food was perfect, paired with suitable drinks. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Kal T. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I attended this tour and it was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Odile was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We also appreciated her knowledge of Kensington Markets history and her insights into the local area. If there was one thing - we would have liked it if it was a bit warmer otherwise fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

  • 5/5 Melissa T. 9 months ago on Google
    Best food tours in Toronto for sure! 10/10 would recommend. Guide was lovely and engaging and knew all the great haunts to visit.

  • 4/5 Pamela F. 9 months ago on Google
    Our tour guide, Odile, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. It was nice learning all about the market area. It was interesting and tasty trying the different ethnic foods. We enjoyed the iced coffee, spinach/cheese pastry, fried shrimp item, beef patty, momo's and churro's. The one thing that would have been nice, especially since it was so hot, is if we would have been given a cup of water at each location. Maybe that is because we are from the US and that is a common practice, since water is free at the restaurants. It was easily walkable. However, if you have trouble walking/standing for 1-1 1/2 hours, you might want to take into consideration that you have to walk to all locations (as usual) and stand outside for a few of the locations to eat your food (since small and not much room inside all locations). We would recommend that you take this tour.

    Great experience! Damian was an awesome guide. My partner is more of a local than I am, but every spot we hit was new to him, and we both found some new favorites we will keep hitting up!! Informative and tasty!! Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sara R. 7 months ago on Google
    We had such a great time on our Kensington market good tour. We are local and have been to the market many times, but there was still stuff that we never knew or never seen. Odille was an absolute treasure. She was friendly, knowledgable and experienced. The highlight of the tour was discovering the hidden alley houses/cottages. Food was great and diverse.

  • 5/5 Asna S. 7 months ago on Google
    We had our Kensington tour with Odile and she was a darling. She’s lived such a full life and it shows. Not only was the food warm and comforting, she was able to share life stories about each of the owners of the places we went to. It added such a personal touch.

    Damian led a fantastic virtual chocolate tasting for our team. The chocolates were great and the session was super informative. Damian went above and beyond helping us manage shipping to our team members across North America, and even suggesting comparable chocolates for our colleagues in locations where Tasty Tours doesn't ship to so they can still participate. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Michalina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Super tasty stops… we tried a Jewish cafe, a Chinese bakery, a Japanese take out joint, a Jamaican deli, a Tibetan cafe and some South American dessert from a grocery store. Our tour guide was very friendly and super knowledgeable about Toronto’s history. I bought this for my family as part of their Christmas gift and we did enjoy our 1.5 hr tour. It’s a fun way to see Kensington market.

    We recently did a Virtual Chocolate Tasting with a group of 12, and it was amazing! The whole team had so much fun talking through the different bars and styles, we all had a blast. It was all enhanced by our host Damian's clear expertise and absolute love of Chocolate. Would recommend for any chocolate lover, or corporate team looking for a new event idea!

  • 5/5 Jaya S. 2 years ago on Google
    This tour was excellent from start to finish! The restaurants we visited were all top notch providing great samples of the cuisine they provide. The portions were more than enough, and we were more than full by the end of it. Our guide, Damian, was exceptional, satiating our knowledge appetite with great facts about Kensington Market and the food culture within it. Highly recommend!

    I did a virtual chocolate tasting with my work team, and it was really great! Learned a lot about the chocolate-making process, and it was super cool to experience the drastic differences between chocolate made in different ways and from different sources.

  • 5/5 Kathy Stephenson N. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a chocolate tasting with Damien for our department holiday party and he was extremely informative and the chocolate was amazing. If I am ever in Toronto I will be sure to go in person!

  • 5/5 Nadia W. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed the Kensington Market "Taste the World" food tour - even though we're local, it was a great cross-section of the many gems in Kensington market that we hadn't tried before. Odile was an informative and helpful guide. The pace is very relaxed and the tour has great food factoids about the places we visited. Fun all around, thanks Odile!

  • 5/5 Jolina C. 2 years ago on Google
    We took the Kensington Market Taste the World tour and had a great time. Even as locals, we learned a lot from our knowledgeable guide, Damian, and we tasted from restaurants we wouldn’t have thought of visiting at Kensington market. The portions for the food was great- we were getting full halfway through! Would recommend to friends.

  • 5/5 Maria Sophia I. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food!!!! Odile was wonderful. I learned so much about Kensington market and had absolutely delicious and flavourful fun!

  • 5/5 JL B. 2 years ago on Google
    We hosted a virtual holiday team event doing the Chocolate Tasting - it was awesome!! Damian was a fantastic 'guide' and we all learned so much about chocolate, the process and what a vibrant artisan chocolate scene we have in Toronto! I highly recommend Tasty Tours - thank you Damian - I love my chocolate wheel!! :)

  • 5/5 Huma P. 1 year ago on Google
    We did a private tour of Kensington Market with Damian on Friday and had a blast. We were looking for something fun to do as a team who haven't seen each other in person since just before the pandemic and this hit the spot! Damian was flexible and fun, and the food selection was diverse and delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  • 5/5 Michael Pearson [. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time with my Food and Culture Class on the tour of Kensington Market. Our tour guide Damien was very knowledgeable, and the students enjoyed the food very much. The portions were satisfying and diverse; my students did not walk away hungry. Thanks so much for providing the opportunity!

  • 5/5 Mabel D. T. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed out Taste the World tour around Kensington Market. Every cafe/restaurant/store front that we entered greeted us warmly and the food portions were filling. We loved that we got to support local business owners. Damian was very friendly and provided really interesting stories about the area and also about the food (like churros!). Our personal favorites were the Jamaican meat pie and the dumplings. We even went back and ordered some dumplings to go. Overall, I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Kellie F. 1 year ago on Google
    I signed up for a tour expecting that we would walk around with a big group, and was pleasantly surprised that it was a private tour. Our guide Odile was very knowledgeable about food in the area and also gave use a history of city as we walked around. It was like having a food and history tour combined in one. I would highly recommend doing a tour with them if you are in Toronto.

  • 5/5 Alex 1 year ago on Google
    Damian was a fantastic tour guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable about Kensington Market and had a lot of great history to share about the area, the food, and the shops we went to. We ate at five very great and unique places, Moonbean Company, Caribbean Corner
, Takoyaki 6ix, Tibet Cafe & Bar. We also had some churros but I forget the name of the store. Everything was delicious and the tour was very accommodating for dietary restrictions. We had a gluten-free person and a vegetarian person and the tour guide made sure there was something for everyone at each location.

  • 5/5 Daniela G. 1 year ago on Google
    Our company took the tour with Odile. It was a great experience. They were able to accommodate dietary restrictions/allergies that the whole team was able to try items and have a great time. It was a great way for our team to bond and learn new facts about Toronto. Odile was patient, friendly and a joy to be around. I would recommend this to any other company looking for a team building activity.

  • 4/5 Mae C. 1 year ago on Google
    Four+ stars for our tour guide, Damien, who was super knowledgeable of the community's history, passionate about supporting local businesses, and overall an enthusiastic guide. He never missed a beat. We really enjoyed this food tour (even though the cold November weather was uncomfortable) and the other guests were great company, however in comparison to other food tours I've been on, the portions were very small and some of the food choices didn't seem overly creative or exciting. Luckily I brought a water bottle because no water was served at any of the establishments we visited and we got very thirsty.

  • 5/5 Nimisha B. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I had a lovely chocolate tasting with Tasty Tours! Firstly they were so kind to include an extra chocolate bar for us to enjoy when there was just a slight delay in getting us a kit! They also helped us reschedule the tasting when we accidentally missed it. The kit was very nicely curated to include local craft chocolates and the tasting was very enjoyable! Definitely recommend as a good date night idea!

    I absolutely loved this food tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about both the culinary history of the different neighborhoods we visited, as well as the best places to find local specialties. The tour size was also intimate, so it never felt rushed. I'd absolutely recommend Tasty Tours to anyone visiting Toronto who wants to truly experience it through local flavor. Thanks for the awesome time! :)
