More about the tour

Kick off World Cup season the Toronto way – by eating your way through our global food scene. On this limited-time food tour with insider tastes and tales, you’ll taste how popular soccer nations cheer, celebrate and fuel game-day energy.

Step into Kensington Market and experience the buzz of Toronto’s famously multicultural neighbourhood – music spilling out of cafés, the smell of fresh tortillas and spicy sizzling meat, vibrant graffiti murals stretching along the streets. As you move from shop to shop, each bite transports you to another stadium, team, and dish. One moment you’re tucking into the controversial classic from host country Canada, the next you’re tasting the herby brightness behind fan-favourite Italy’s match-day food.

With hand-picked stops at the neighbourhood’s best local eateries, you’ll skip the lines, savour insider stories, and uncover how immigrant communities shaped Kensington Market. By the end, you’ll have travelled the world through your tastebuds, wandered one of Toronto’s most unique districts, and discovered flavours you won’t find on any other food tour. Gooooal!

(All participants will receive a complimentary neighbourhood e-guide with their ticket.)

Great experience! It was a wonderful way to explore a neighborhood that we wouldn’t have had a clue how to navigate. We learned much of the culture while sampling great international cuisine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stores will I visit on this tour? What will I eat on the tour?

We’d really rather surprise you, it takes too much of the fun out of the tour to tell you everything you’re eating. What we can share is that the experience leans into street food, which the neighbourhood is particularly known for. But if you insist, contact us. (stores subject to change at our discretion)

Can you accommodate my dietary restrictions?

Unfortunately, we’re not able to accommodate dietary restrictions on this tour. The tastings for this special edition tour have been carefully selected to match the World Cup theme, and substitutions would take away from the experience. If you have dietary needs, we recommend checking out our popular Kensington Market ‘Taste the Market’ Food Tour, which offers more flexibility.

Where does the tour begin and end?

It begins and ends in the heart of Kensington Market. The start and end stops are a few minutes walk from each other. You will receive the address of the starting point once you’ve signed up for the tour.

How do I get to Kensington? Is there parking?

Please refer to this useful resource on directions to Kensington Market by car and public transit.

Are there any washrooms?

There are washrooms at multiple locations throughout the tour, including the start and end point. Your guide can direct you to the best option.

Will my child under 7 get to enjoy all the food on the tour too?

Kids under 7 are not given individual samples on the tour. If you would like to receive additional samples for children, you would need to book them as an adult with General Admission. If you choose not to purchase a ticket for them, you are more than welcome to share your own samples with your little ones.

What is your cancellation policy?

We do not offer cancellations, as your spot has been reserved for you and food samples ordered ahead of time. However, emergencies do happen, and we permit rescheduling up to 24 hours before the tour due to illness. If you need to reschedule, please contact us as soon as you can!

How much walking is there on the tour?

There is only a 2 – 5 minute walk between stops with only around 1 kilometer (less than a mile) of walking total over the whole tour. The end point is just next door to the starting location.
