Taste gumbo, po-boys, jambalaya, pralines, and beignets while exploring New Orleans’ French Quarter with an expert guide.
“This was a fun tour in the French Quarter full of history and amazing food. We didn't really expect the quality of the places we visited to be so high, and we were able to try items we wouldn't have otherwise. Our tour guide Jack was so knowledgeable of the area and origins of the different cuisines we tried, and even gave plenty of tips on different places to visit, food related and otherwise. Definitely recommend this tour!”

Taste Nashville through hot chicken, barbecue, donuts, and local stories on a small-group East Nashville or 12South food tour.
“I’ve been on several food tours and this was such a disappointment. It started 45 minutes late, there was too much talking about random things that hand nothing to do with food or the history of the places we were visiting. I get it’s Nashville and places are busy but half our party of 10 had to stand at the stops. Nothing was pre-ordered, or so it seemed, and it was okay food but nothing fantastic. It was all just okay. A suggestion would be to at least have a reserved spot for people or a corner, especially if relationships have been developed with these restaurants.”
Explore Ybor City through Cuban, German, and Italian food tastings, local history, and practical tips on this three-hour Tampa walking tour.
“This was a wonderful experience with a knowledgeable and competent tour guide (Cynthia H.) who gave a well organized and interesting tour. She focused on the human and architectural history of Ybor City. The food samples were well chosen and organized with the restaurants beforehand. Food included the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had, Shepherds Pie in the local brewpub to represent the historic German influence on the area (the Germans have since mostly left. The brewpub was a stand-in), a calzone at the local Italian place (The Amici). and, finally, Cuban cappuccinos at a cigar shop. Very well organized and sequenced. I highly recommend especially if you enjoy…”

Key West Food Tours review: five tastings, Cuban coffee, key lime pie, rum, local history, and a 1.2-mile Old Town walk.
“Great combination of awesome food and learning about Key West. The food was a nice compilation of typical Key West offerings, including Caribbean and Cuban. Our guide Kieran was local who really knew the area and was helpful in answering all our questions. The food was from places we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own and it was fabulous. I liked the jerked chicken the best and my wife liked the key lime pie the best. This was the highlight of our visit to Key West. At the end of the tour they gave us a link that listed their recommendations on where to eat and we used it…”
