Tastings, Kensington and a meal cruise

Toronto food tours: tastings, Kensington and a meal cruise

Toronto food tours on this site come down to one tasting walk and four listings where eating, or St. Lawrence Market, is part of the day. The tasting walk costs $85 for three hours, with six tastings across St. Lawrence and the Distillery District; its description names peameal bacon, poutine and butter tarts. The lowest price is $37 for a three-hour walk through Kensington Market and Chinatown that names local food. For a sit-down meal, a harbour cruise serves lunch, brunch or dinner for $51, 2 to 2.5 hours. None of the descriptions names a meeting point.

Quick answer

The short answer. If eating is the point, book the $85 walk: of the Toronto food tours here it is the only one built around tastings, rated 4.7 on 264 reviews. On a tighter budget, the $37 Kensington Market and Chinatown walk names local food and carries the highest score on this page, 4.8 on 73 reviews. If you would rather sit than walk, the $51 harbour cruise has a meal on board and the most reviews of the five, 1,564.

What each of the Toronto food tours here puts on the plate

Six tastings, $85, three hours. The St. Lawrence and Distillery walk is the one food tour proper on this site. Its description names cobblestone streets and local dishes such as peameal bacon, poutine and butter tarts, in two neighbourhoods. 264 reviews at 4.7.

Kensington Market and Chinatown, $37, three hours. A small-group walk with a local guide; local food is one of the things it names, next to the stories. It does not say how many tastings there are. 73 reviews at 4.8.

A meal on the harbour, $51, 2 to 2.5 hours. Lunch, brunch or dinner on a cruise, with freshly prepared food and views of the skyline. 1,564 reviews at 4.5.

Pick by your appetite

Which food listing to book, if…

One line each, matched to what the Toronto food tours on this page actually say.

  • Tasting is the whole point

    The $85 St. Lawrence and Distillery walk: six tastings in three hours, and the only listing here sold as a food tour.

  • Your budget is under $40

    The $37 Kensington Market and Chinatown walk, three hours. It is the only one of the five under that line.

  • Kensington is the neighbourhood you want

    The closest thing to a Kensington Market food tour on this site is that same $37 walk. It names local food, but its description does not list the dishes.

  • You would rather sit down to eat

    The $51 harbour cruise with lunch, brunch or dinner, 2 to 2.5 hours on the water.

  • You also want to go up the CN Tower

    The $70 walk, 90 minutes, which names St. Lawrence Market; or the $133 five-hour day with hotel pickup and a harbour cruise.

  • You have only 90 minutes

    The same $70 walk: it is the shortest listing on this page.

Toronto food tours side by side

Price, length, cost per hour and rating, read off the live listings in October 2026. The meal cruise runs 2 to 2.5 hours, so its cost-per-hour cell is empty; it works out at $20.40 to $25.50 an hour.

Worth it?

Are Toronto food tours worth the money?

Start with the hour. The six-tasting walk costs $28.33 an hour; the Kensington Market and Chinatown walk $12.33. The gap is $48 for the same three hours, and what it buys is a tour built around tastings, with dishes named in the listing, rather than a walk where food is one item among several.

The meal cruise is the way here to sit down to a meal with a view: $51 for 2 to 2.5 hours. Its 4.5 is the lowest score of the five, on by far the most reviews, 1,564.

The two CN Tower listings are not Toronto food tours and should not be booked as one. They name St. Lawrence Market, but neither says food is included. They make sense if the CN Tower is on your list anyway and St. Lawrence Market is a bonus.

Want the Distillery District without the tastings? A one-hour historic walk there is $20, and the other guided walks in the city are compared on their own page.

Before you pay

What the food listings leave out

The meeting point. None of the five descriptions names one, and only the $133 day mentions hotel pickup. Check the start on the listing before you book.

Dietary needs. No description says whether vegetarian or other special diets are catered for. If that matters, ask through the listing before paying for any of these Toronto food tours.

What the price covers. The $85 walk names six tastings in its title. The $37 walk names local food without saying how much is in the price. The cruise names a meal; drinks are not mentioned.

Cancelling. All five listings show Free cancellation. The exact cut-off is on each listing.

For the harbour without a meal, the shorter sightseeing cruises are compared on their own page, and the full list of 37 tours is on the home page.
