Last Sunday 6/16, we took the Portland Maine Foodie tour, there we 20 of us. It was the Bon Appetite Tour which lasted about 3 hrs. We started with a great croissant, then down to Bob's Clam Hut for chowder and clams 2 ways, outstanding, then off to Maine Mead Bar, then off to Maine Brewery where we had fries fried in duck fat with 6 dipping sauces and a few samples of beer, then down to another place where they served a liquor that I cannot remember and a 1/2 of an Italian grinder. It was a great time, the distance was not too far and the rain held off until the last 2 places. If your in Portland and you want to do something different, try the Maine Foodie tour, I don't think you'll be sorry you did!

Thanks to the Noritake Collector's Society group for joining us! Chuck and Chase had a great time with your party! The East End has SO many amazing food and beverage entrepreneurs cropping up right and left and we really enjoy featuring the flavors and folks here. Root Wild is the final spot you're thinking of that's a Kombuchery =) We appreciate your review!

On most food tours, you walk at a leisurely pace, stop to hear history and sit to sample food. On this tour, the guide walked at a fast pace, provided some history, while we stood for the first hour. For the people who are not in the best of shape or a little older, it would be appreciated if the stops were arranged so that the places with no seating were not visited sequentially. And make sure to slow down. Otherwise, things went well.

Thanks for joining us on tour! Our stops are a mix of standing and some seated depending on the artisan food or beverage producer we're visiting. We alternate where we can to give folks a respite, but as a culinary walking tour it does require a certain mobility comfort level. We're working on a tour that can accommodate guests with lower mobility - just a little complicated as Portland's dedication to historic preservation means lots of narrow doorways, stairs, bricks and cobblestones. If you could email us directly as to what tour you took and who was your guide, as we don't have a reference from your review to cross reference, we can remind them to moderate their pace a bit. We have a few naturally speedy Gonzales guides, some Turtle and the Hare and everywhere in between - pace is great tip reminder! We appreciate hearing your thoughts on your tour experience and hope you enjoy the rest of your visit =)

We were going to pass on the food trip because, although we take one every time we travel to get the lay of the land and the good eats, this was a two-day trip. But we decided to go ahead and I’m sooo glad we did! We met some of the coolest local pub and restaurant owners, are some of the best food we had the whole trip, and learned so much we’d never heard about Portland. Two of the stops on the tours were so good that we went back! Timothy, our guide, is a native Mainer and he impressed us with he local knowledge. It was a lot of fun. Only tip we could think of was that he pointed out Mark’s hot dog stand, a staple in Portland, and in the time we were there, we saw people stop by and catch up with Mark, locals honking from the road and waving to him as they went by, his usual customers stop and hang out on the benches with him... he clearly is as integral to Portland as the lobster. But while the tour points him out, it was not a stop and we didn’t get to try his hot dogs. BUT he’s right in the middle of town, so there’s plenty of time to swing by later!

Mark's is an institution, for sure, and featuring the diversity of our culinary scene could certainly include an iconic spot like this one =) We're always open to considering new (or old?) locales or at the very least pointing them out for our guests to enjoy post tour. Two days is just not enough time to visit Portland, but we're happy to hear you included us in your visit, and we'd love to hear which ones you went back to. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate your review!
