Nina was SO informative && the food was amazing. She was able to give us a little history tour - on top of the 6 food places we explored. Which we loved. I went with my two boys (10 and 14) and they both enjoyed it as well !

Visiting a new city can we be very overwhelming especially trying to fit in the million of food places and experiences you want to try. Having Barry as our guide was so amazing as we tried so many places. Federal donuts was definitely my favorite place.

The food selection on the tour was amazing! I particularly enjoyed the walk and talk in between meals. Despite the limited time, I learned so much. This tour is perfect for solo travelers or introverted explorers. Chuck, our tour guide, made everyone feel welcome and was very attentive to all our needs. If you love delicious food, interesting historical facts mixed with some lore, and sightseeing, then this tour is definitely for you!
