Reviews
Wow!! We would have given this tour 6 stars if we could. Our tour guide, Dave, was so knowledgeable and spun the stories to weave Chicago's history so clearly for these East Coast visitors. Loved the mixture of interior and street landmarks. We learned so much and will be sure to recommend this tour to others. A true highlight activity of our visit to Chicago.
Molly was fun and besides AMAZING seafood, we visited historical sites and learned more about Boston’s rich history. She even made changes to the tour to avoid places that we had already been! We do food tours all over the world and this one is at the top of the list.
Ms. Ally, you were truly incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your knowledge, your stories, and your passion with us. You made this experience unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for you.”

Brooklyn fab food tour
My wife and I are from Australia. Greg was a great host. His knowledge of Brooklyn was fantastic. He showed the true Brooklyn experience with the different cultures and foods in the area. Brooklyn itself as a borough is great as well. Beautiful brownstone buildings and a very funky vibe.
Wonderful
Sarah was a very knowledgeable guide . So friendly, loves her area and what she does. Tastings were so yummy and the architecture so interesting and pretty. We had a wonderful tour with bathrooms and rest stops along the way.
Great experience with tour guide, Greg
My mom and I decided to do this Brooklyn Food Tour on our trip just to try more local shops and walk around Brooklyn neighborhoods we had never been around before. Luckily, this tour was great for that and our tour guide, Greg, was truly awesome. It was just the two of us on the tour with Greg. He was extremely patient, cultured, and helpful. He amazed us with the number of facts he knew and pointed out a ton of additional hotspots that we should visit the next time we stop in the city. Super glad we chose this tour in specific and hope to have Greg on another tour with us again. This company has always been great to us.
Exceptional walking food tour with a terrific guide.
My wife and I took the walking food tour of Brooklyn on July 31, 2026. Our guide, Greg, lives in Brooklyn and is definitely a proud local resident; he was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, pleasant and informative, always willing to answer questions. He kept us on a good pace, and made sure to stop now and then in a shady spot on a hot day. Greg gave us little lectures at many stops along the way to tell us about the history and culture of the neighborhoods, from Revolutionary war times to the present. We stopped at six local food places, from delis to pizzerias to chocolate shops. At each place Greg told us about the history of the businesses, and introduced us to the owners of several of them; he seemed to be on first name terms with all of them. And the food at each place was great local fare, enough to count as a hearty lunch. This tour was terrific, better than advertised.
