I had such a great experience on this food tour! Andy was an incredible guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories. He made everyone feel welcome and kept the energy fun and relaxed the whole time. The food stops were delicious and well-chosen, and I learned a lot about the local culture and history along the way. This tour was definitely a highlight of my trip. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area! Lori & Lee

Andy provided a great tour of downtown with many delicious treats along the way. A great way to get a lay of the land and to find hidden treasures. A couple of the stops became must visits for a full meal.

Fun tour with Andy. Appreciated his focus on local owned stops that give back to the community and all food sampled was great! Got a bit of history along the way between and at stops. Highly recommend for all foodies.
