Description:

This guided walking tour takes you on a historical and culinary trip through Montreal's Little Italy neighborhood. Visit Jean-Talon Market, see the Church of Madonna della Difesa, and wander the charming streets while sampling a few treats to immerse yourself in all things Italian in Canada.

Feel the energy at the Jean-Talon Market—the biggest outdoor market in North America—and browse fresh produce, cheese, flower stands, and meat, just as locals have done since the market opened in the 1930s. Your guide shares historic anecdotes as you maneuver through the crowd and take in scents from the culinary treats. A market for locals and visitors alike, this is the place to shop for authentic international products as well as fresh produce from local farmers.

Continue into the middle of Little Italy—home to Italian Canadian-owned shops, restaurants, and the Church of Madonna della Difesa (Our Lady of Protection), built by Italian immigrants. Marvel at the church's style and interior design dating back to the Renaissance era. Then, walk through quaint streets full of life with sidewalk cafés and vendors serving authentic Italian delights. Savor tasty samples along the way as your guide shares stories about the community.
