2.Toronto’s First Food Tour: Taste the World in Kensington Market

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 526 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $74

Meet your guide at Moonbean Coffee Company for a 2.5-hour walk through Kensington Market. Expect about seven tastings, from coffee and baked goods to international savory dishes, plus stories about Toronto’s food culture. Guides such as Odile and Damian bring strong local knowledge to this small-group tour.

“This is an interesting tour and Odile was an excellent guide. She clearly knows the area really well and took us to places I would never have thought to go into. All the tastings were very good quality, although a bit heavy on the carbs! Kensington market is not an actual marketplace in the usual sense - its an area full of small independent shops and eating places- but it has a huge variety of international food available.”
