If the Old Port is the heart of Montreal, then Little Italy and the Mile End are definitely its stomach! This tour will give you insider knowledge into the rich historical stories of these neighbourhoods and how they weave into the overall narrative of Montreal.

We will begin our visit in the Mile End neighbourhood, a trendy, artistic community that is a melting pot of immigration. Then, we will retrace the steps of the earliest Italians in Montreal in Little Italy and end the tour at Jean Talon Market, exploring North America's largest open air market with fresh local produce from Quebec.

These neighbourhoods offer culinary delights, such as wonderful Italian pastries, coffee and the famous Montreal bagels... make sure you bring cash with you (some places don't accept card)!
