We enjoyed this food tour. We are very familiar with Old Town, but we learned quite a bit from our guide. The food on the tour was excellent. The selections were varied. We had Italian, Mediterranean, and Mexican plus ice cream for dessert. We've done quite a few food tours in different cities. This one was quite enjoyable.

I felt the tickets are significantly overpriced for the amount of food provided on the tour. We pretty much received small appetizer portions of one item and/or even a small shared plate at each of the 3 featured restaurants. Definitely NOT worth the money. On a positive note, the tour guide was informative and kind.

This food tour was good. I mean there was food and there was history. It just wasn’t great. We have done this type of tour a lot all over the globe. Maybe it’s that it’s just here in the good old US? I really hoped for some local and regional specific food experience. Instead, Italian (granted the building and fam had been around a bit and s Food was good). The Mexican and the Lebanese, although good, what the heck makes them special to this region? Overall-food good, guide good and knowledgeable, the itinerary? Bleh.
