WHY MILE END?

Mile End is situated right in the heart of Montreal's most culturally diverse areas. It is surrounded by centres of Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Jewish, and French/Quebecois cultures and ultimately comes to a perfect blend in Mile End.

This fusion of cultures is truly best represented in this area. It is so easy to get distracted by a shop, bar, coffee spot, or restaurant while in Mile End.

This is not a problem. Just book the alcohol free option before the tour. Just inform our guide before the tour starts.

Is there a lot of walking?

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 35 mins of walking but it is not too difficult and is broken up between food stops.

Where does your food come from?

Top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable here in Montreal. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
