Wonderful tour! - Our family of four had a wonderful time with Linn! This was easily one of the best food tours we've ever done, and we do a lot of food tours all over the world. Linn was very warm and incredibly knowledgeable. She was great with our 9 and 11-year-old. The food was phenomenal, and we learned so much! We couldn't recommend this tour any more highly.

Old Quebec in Depth - This was a food tour of full meals, not just tiny bites! We were told to "come hungry", and were glad we did, when our excellent tour guide, Lynn Rochefort, and her intern, Clara, took my husband and I on a tour of four superlative Quebec City restaurants - with a tomato burrata salad at Va Bene, an Italian restaurant (veggies from the region), a bowl of incredible onion soup made with beer at a microbrewery, Archibald, an amazing meal of shrimp in lobster sauce cooked tableside at the Continental, Quebec City's oldest restaurant, and an original food offering at Le Clan, with farm to table style, and a young chef that is probably due a Michelin star! The tour was well worth the price, and the history of the area was icing on the cake, as it were! She showed us a giant mural of the history of the founding of Quebec City, and led us through some beautiful areas in the early history of QC. It was the perfect way to see the less touristy places in Quebec City.

Combo Historical & food tour in Old Quebec with Emilie. - I can’t say enough about this incredible experience! The food we tasted was absolutely amazing, and the insights into the history, culture, and culinary traditions of Old Quebec were beautifully presented. Emilie was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Fantastic tour - highly recommend - Luis was an amazing guide. We had a blizzard during our tour and Luis still took us through a great history tour to include some of the best food we have had. Our only suggestion would be that the second restaurant, with the onion soup, be replaced with a more authentic and a restaurant that aligns more with the other gourmet restaurants we visited.

Great Quebec Restaurants - Overall, we enjoyed this tour. We were able to eat at some incredible restaurants and enjoy some amazing food. It was just my wife and I, so it felt like a private tour and we were able to chat with our guide throughout the tour. They were also to accommodate my wife's dietary restrictions, which is super helpful since not all food tours are able to do this. I was disappointed to receive little to no information about what we were eating, how it connected to the region or Quebec food in general.

This tour was a food-history hit! - Luis was great! Fantastic attitude, open to questions, and had a little bit of historical trivia as we walked. Full disclosure: This tour is definitely more geared towards foodies than history buffs - you won't get a history class lesson on the English vs the French, but much more information about the culture and food in old Quebec. He pointed out a lot of historical significance about the buildings (especially the restaurants) and architecture along the way, and his advice was invaluable for finding gems we wouldn't have otherwise known to eat at later.
The food continues to ramp up and get better and better at each stop. We ended up booking a reservation for the last stop for the following night, and had brunch at one of his recommendations that wasn't in the tour. This was a great way to find the gems and skip the tourist traps.
