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.
Absolutely a great experience. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Great food and great history. Damion was a star. Answered all our questions and took great care of us. He knows his stuff!!!
Super super experience learning about the history and food culture of Kensington market. All kudos to our guide Damian! Friendly natured and was so knowledgeable about stuff there. Definitely recommending this tour to friends and fam who visit TO.
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!
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.
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.
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!
I took part of a virtual Tasty Tours Toronto craft chocolate tasting on a cold winter's night and this warmed me from head to toe. We enjoyed single estate varietal chocolate bars, tried nibs and some of Canada's best bean-to-bar chocolates from coast to coast. A delicious, worthwhile experience that gives you a sensory experience along with a dose of history and cacao knowledge. Thanks TTT! ML and Mario
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!
We really enjoyed the tour of Kensington Market. As a lifetime Toronto resident I was amazed how much I learned about the market area's history, and our out of town guests were really enthusastic throughout. Our guide Damian was really knowledgeable and had a great demeanour. Plus the food was fantastic. Highly recommend.
