TripAdvisor's #1 Food & Drink Tours in Alberta
We recently participated in the "Eat the Castle" tour at Banff Springs Hotel. The location is iconic and Karen did a wonderful job bringing the history of the hotel to life. The food was delicious and impeccably presented. Meeting some of the chefs, who explained the ingredients and techniques used for their signature dishes, added to the overall experience.

...As a frequent traveller and visitor of the Banff Springs I thought I knew a lot about it already, but I was so wrong... there were so many interesting things I didn't know. It was fun, engaging, delicious and unique and I can't wait to host people on this tour in the future. Karen is great and a good judge of the group. The CoVid precautions made us all feel safe. This calibre of this tour is par with some of the best we've ever done while travelling the world. HIGHLY recommend!

I absolutely LOVE the concept of giving and receiving an Alberta Cares Package! Supporting amazing food artisans of Alberta and discovering their unique stories. Today, I was thrilled to be a recipient and I was blown away by the carefully selected items in my gift box. The products are delicious, unique and the best quality! I highly recommend the Alberta Cares Package from Alberta Food Tours! A+++

I booked an Edmonton food tour for a work team-building activity and what a joy this tour was! Alberta Food Tours CEO Karen Anderson came up from Calgary to guide us and we had the pleasure of listening to her great stories about Alberta food, the restaurateurs, and downtown Edmonton's history. Every restaurant on the trip served great food and our team walked away in a cloud of satisfaction. We're already recommending the places we tried to our colleagues. Would definitely book with Alberta Food Tours again!

Every now and then it's fun to be a tourist in your own town. The Canmore walking tour is an excellent way to try new restaurants or visit some you have forgotten about. Very informative also, I learned a thing or two and I've lived in Canmore for a long time.
