Montreal hidden gem

Superb Tour, Poor Customer Service
Trinh_N
, Jun 2022
The tour (6/3) was excellent, but the customer service was rude. I called to notify 2/4 members of my party could not come. Right off the bat, I was scolded for not giving sufficient notice of their absence, which results in "tasting portions going to waste". Then I was given a lecture on how the representative grew up in a lower-income household, so food was not wasted, and that I was "wasting" the tasting food items.
I was startled to receive such remark, and explained that the CDC requires a negative COVID-19 test 1 day prior to our flight back to the States, which happened to be on the same day as our food tour, and that the 2 who could not come had tested positive. To ensure the safety of others in the tour, we thought it was best for them not to come.
To say the least, the extra 2 portions of tastings were eaten by us and the rest of the tour group, so no food was wasted :)
In addition, Marie and her trainee (I forgot his name) were exceptionally informative and pleasant to eat with!
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi there!
Happy to hear that regardless of you missing the first stop due to your tardiness you still thought the tour was superb.
The rest of your comments are unfair and not truthful.
You did not call us to tell us you would be less guests than booked originally. We called you.
We called you five minutes before tour time to see if you were close-by or running late. No answer. We called you at tour time, 5 minutes after and finally, 10 minutes after we were supposed to start to receive no answer. The rest of the group, that was able to show up on time, wasted their time and started with cold food because of your absence.
When you did call, 15 minutes after the tour had started, you let us know that you might be running late. That's when we asked you where you four were located to find out that you were less guests than reserved originally.
Running late is something you could make us aware of before start time, not after, it's common curtesy. It happens, we get it. Being real and not rude with you about how wasting food means a lot to us is a stance we will continue to take. There is a whole behind the scenes that goes on to make sure we do our best to host you...
The CDC didn't create a testing rule for your family of four and you only. The rest of our group planned their tests appropriately when it came to timing and somehow made it on time. If you truly wanted to be responsible, being in close contact with those who tested positive should have meant a no-go, nada, and a call to warn us and a that's it that's all.
We work very hard and have a great passion for the city we showcase to our guests in a laid back and informal but informative manner. We're a small business trying to do our best. It's not up to us to teach you how to be a better customer or guest. That doesn't mean we will not call you out for being the opposite.
I believe this platform should be used for honest feedback, you could help us learn and become better. This shouldn't be a place for us to lie about our experiences because we messed up..
Thank for joining!

Thank you for sharing some of Montreal with us, Marie.

Marie was a fantastic tour guide. We really enjoyed our time with her. She clearly loves Montreal, and loves to share it with others.
As she explained, this is not a tour for bagels, smoked meat, and poutine. There are plenty of opportunities to try those Montreal staples and she will happily make recommendations. This tour visits some lovely little family owned places and offers tastes of what makes this neighborhood (these neighborhoods?) a part of a very vibrant city.
Oh, and by the way, I wish my town had a market like Jean-Talon. Incredible! I've not been to a market that great since our last trip to Europe.

This food tour is a “must-do” with Marie as a guide

We had a wide variety of tastings, but ending with a catered picnic was the “piece of resistance”. We are very happy to have included this tour in our visit to beautiful Montreal.
Marie was a great tour...

This was such a fun way to kick off our trip to Montreal. We went to places that I probably would not have tried otherwise because they were off the beaten path. Our guide Danny was like the cool kid who knows all the best places to go. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
Sensational tour!

The food tour was awesome! We were thinking that like other food tours, we’d be so stuffed afterwards. It’s one reason I am always a little hesitant to book food tours. Anyway, this was perfect! Small plates, coffee, beer and moderate plates made this a great tour. Danny knows his stuff and made Montreal come to life as we walked and talked. This tour takes you to local places. Family owned, women owned. No chains. Amazing flavors. Then, he leaves you with a list of other places to try.

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Marie, was an inspirational leader. She was funny, caring, knowledeable, and everyone had a great time. We visited many food sites, mostly "off the beaten path." This made the trip a lot of fun. We sampled, spices, ethnic foods, meats, cheeses, and lots more.

Marie was a fantastic tour guide, I really enjoyed the tour and it was great to try so many different kinds of food. Her passion for food in this foodie city was really easy to see.
Unusual, authentic, hip

My husband and I loved this tour—Danny took us to some unexpected places, and the best part was that he explained the particular back stories of each restaurant/vendor (rather than just talking about the food itself). It was a glimpse into the history and culture of the city as it is now, not just a fossilized version of what we think of as Québécois cuisine. The stops were nicely varied, with just a couple of larger plates interspersed among small samples, so we were satisfied but not overly full by the end. Merci à Danny!
Best tour taken!!!

The tour exceeded my husband and my expectations. Exploring off the beaten path sites and tasting local foods in a small group atmosphere was both informative and exciting. The food tastings were delicious and our guide, Amelia, made this our best tour taken!!

Amelie is a fabulous guide and her passion for Montreal is contagious. The food we tasted was diverse and delicious and we learned tons of city tidbits along the way. I HIGHLY and wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
Love the new places we visited!

This is a most interesting tour as we walked through such diverse neighborhoods compared with the old town area where we are staying. We loved our guide, Amelie!

My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. Not only did we visit many vendors in the Market and restaurants in the area, but our tour guide provided lots of information on the area and took us off the beaten path. You could tell that he was very knowledgeable and not giving us an everyday generic tour. I was pleasantly surprised by all the tours we did during our trip to Montreal and Quebec City.
Excellent Tastes of Montreal

Our guide Marie did an excellent job of showing us the "flavors" of the neighborhoods through which we walked, as well as the flavors of the food we were provided at the various stops/sites along the way. Marie was friendly, articulate and always responsive to questions. I would strongly recommend this tour!
