 On this walking tour, we take a culinary journey that embraces Canadian food.  We will enjoy a taste of Europe alongside a more contemporary take on the foods that Canadians love! A stop at an off the beaten track family owned Italian restaurant or perhaps a bit of gelato to cool you down.  

 This is not a bus tour, it is a walking tour.  It gives us the freedom to stop to see that new bloom or just say hello to one of the local restaurant owners who are waiting to greet us. Our groups are small because we want it to be about the experience. Explore Niagara Parks with a licensed local guide for unique horticultural and architectural views of the Falls

You will remember the stories of daredevils, incredible food, wonderful people and learn a few local secrets along the way.
