Great food tour!
We had a really great time on the tour. The food was delicious, we got to try a nice variety of things, and the whole tour was a lot of fun. Odile did an amazing job, which made the tour even better. Everything felt relaxed and enjoyable, and we had a great time from start to finish. Definitely recommend it!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great recommendation, we're happy to hear that you had a great time exploring the flavours of Toronto with Odile.

Insightful and tasty experience!
We had a fantastic time on the Tasty Tours chocolate tour! It was fascinating to learn how cacao roasting impacts flavor and how to distinguish artisan specialty chocolate from standard store-bought bars. Delicious tastings and great insights!
Response from the operator: Sounds like you had a delightful time tasting some local craft chocolate with us! Thank you for joining and leaving a great review, hope to see you again!

A taste of Toronto!

Touring in Toronto
Damien was very enthusiastic about sharing various food stops with us, and it was obvious he loves Toronto. In relation to other food tours we've experienced in other cities, this one was just average. Plenty of food, so we didn't leave hungry, and the portions were large/sufficient. However, only four stops were on the tour with lots of walking in between, and our preference (and past experiences) would be for smaller portions and a couple more stops (perhaps six instead of four). One of the best parts of the tour was taking the PATH on part of the walk between stops, but it would have been helpful to have a map to go with it (and to be honest, we didn't ask whether or not one even exists). Also on other tours, we've been offered the opportunity to purchase beverages (alcoholic and/or non-alcoholic) at one or more of the stops, and this didn't happen on this tour. Again, we didn't inquire about this option at the time, so perhaps it was a local law, but it was just something different from all prior experiences.
Response from the operator: Thanks for joining us on a tour and for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed Damian as your tour guide, and that you found the food portions filling. It sounds like our Kensington Market tour might actually be a better fit for you, as it has more stops with smaller portions, and is more like a 'traditional' food tour. Our downtown Must-Do Toronto Food Tour is intentionally structured around fewer, more substantial food stops so we can cover more ground from a sightseeing perspective and take in more of Toronto's iconic sights along the way. Most of our guests on this tour enjoy this hybrid combination of food and sightseeing, and the rare opportunity to cover so much ground in a food tour. However, we know everyone's expectations are different. Since we didn't meet yours, we'd be happy to refund your tickets as part of our 100% Money Back Guarantee - just reach out to us at hello@tastytourstoronto.com. We will also update our tour description to make the experience clearer to future guests!

Great food tour
Turned out to be a private bc rest pf group canceled. Pros and cons to that but not tour guides fault. Nice selection of stops. Nice history. Tried Poutine for 1st time. Tasty 😋 Was upset that 1 stop where tradition has one eating with their hands there was no washroom or sink to wash hands. I forgot my hand sanitizer. Would have been nice if guide had provided hand sanitizer since no washroom was accessible.
Response from the operator: Wow a surprise private tour, that still sounds like a fun time! We're glad to hear that you had a great time exploring Toronto and trying poutine for the first time with us too! And thank you for the feedback about the one stop without an accessible washroom, we're always working to improve our tours, and having the guide bring sanitizer for that stop is a good idea, thanks for the recommendation! Thank you again for leaving us a 5 star review, we hope to see you again!

Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.
How much does Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company cost?
+
Prices start at $94 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Toronto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Toronto is not rushed.
Is Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 117 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Toronto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company?
+
Around 41 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Toronto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Toronto and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Must-Do Toronto Food Tour by Toronto's First Food Tour Company start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Toronto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Toronto?
+
On Outty we rank every Toronto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto: Boat Ride & Journey Behind Falls, Niagara Falls Canada Day Tour From Toronto + Boat Cruise Option, Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Toronto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Toronto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
