Wonderful Tour
Dawn_F, October 2026
Lucas was very friendly and very knowledgeable. He remembered everyone's names throughout the tour and there were 14 of us. My group revisited Mile End 2 more times after the tour and revisited at least 3 of the destinations included in the tour. The group I travel with does a food tour in each destination we visit. You learn so much history of the location inclusive and exclusive of food, but the food was very good too!
Response from the operator · secretfoodtours We loved your energy on Local Food Tours and really enjoyed having you with us. Seeing you enjoy the local food made the experience all the more rewarding. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back!

Response from the operator · secretfoodtours Exploring through food gives you a completely different feel for a city. We’re glad you chose Local Food Tours and spent the time discovering it with us. We’d love to see what you think of the next flavors on the list!
