We booked this food tour last minute and I’m glad we did! We had a short time in Providence and the weather was rainy (thanks, Elsa!), but Katy helped us make the best of it! The food was delicious and showed the variety of cuisine available in the Providence area. Katy was entertaining, energetic, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour for others looking to learn and scope yummy, local eats!

Overall the food was tasty and our drink offerings were good, I felt like that part was my fav (thank goodness since i was on a food n drink tour) the sights were great to take in of the city. I'm going to be completely honest, our tour guide was knowledgeable about the city history and talk ALOT, I was not on a history tour:( I would of liked more talk about food and the city's food scene. It took us 1 hour to get to our 2nd tasting and in that time our guide talked. We did have 6 stops but no drinks until the 4th stop so that was disappointing. So to wrap it up the offerings and stops were great, was a good tour

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We do recognize that we call ourselves a food tour, but when you read our tour description we are clear that in between walking to each tasting location we talk about the history and culture of the neighborhood. This is about 1/3 of our tour and most people are pleasantly surprised and feel its a real bonus to learn something from it in the end. Because it is part a history & culture tour we want to take you where events and history happened and through a visually appealing route as much as we can. On this particular tour much of the history is up front and then it is 1 restaurant after the other pretty quickly. In reality there is actually just over 30 minutes between eating at our 1st stop on the outskirts of downtown to our next stop downtown. I know it may seem like it should be easy to coordinate and plan a timely food tour but it's actually complicated, there are many factors that play into the route, some of which are out of our control, such as restaurant availability among others. In the end, based on the majority of our reviews I think we have pulled it off fairly successfully and created an overall enjoyable experience. Thank you for taking our tour, we're glad in the end the food tastings and stops were to your liking.

Visited on a cooler and wet summer day but it was still fantastic! Katie, our guide did a great job. We stopped at 6 places and each one was amazing. My favorite stop was to get a pretzel with apricot butter at Malted Barley!!! Highly recommend.
