Travel Trade

We lead walking/tasting food tours in neighbourhoods filled with great food businesses. Our guests spend about three hours sampling the very best local food and beverages. We also share stories of the art, architecture and history so our guests come away feeling connected to the culture of the cities we operate in – Calgary, Canmore and Edmonton – Alberta, Canada.

Tours are approximately three hours long and include food and drink tastings at several locations that specialize in handmade, locally-prepared artisanal foods of the highest quality. Depending on the tour there may be six to eight tastings with a small bite to a full course at each stop. The food adds up to a very ample and satisfying meal. Professionally trained tour leaders tell entertaining stories about each of the neighbourhoods visited. Guests gain an understating of the area’s history, art and culture and have the opportunity to meet locals. A branded keepsake is included. Food and drink samples, tax and gratuities at all locations are included in the ticket price. Gratuities for the tour leaders are at the discretion of the guests.
