All Providence Tours & Excursions in 2026

Cameron was a great guide who walked us in areas we otherwise wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We had some amazing foods, unique to this area. No need to schedule a dinner before or after this tour, as this will count as dinner. During the tour, Cameron offers many details into the history of Providence.

Jack was our tour guide and was delightful. The meeting spot was easy to find. Jack was there early (as was the whole group). We stared at Dune Brothers and had delicious clam chowder. Next stop was Tizzy K’s cereal ice cream (rotating secret flavor, I think it is different every day). Another highlight was Cielito’s Mexican Kitchen. The tacos do not disappoint. I did not drink but a few people on my tour had the margaritas and had good things to day about the drinks. Next stop was Suya Joint for Nigerian cuisine (tasty, but not as spicy as I would have liked). We ended at the Malted Barley, fresh warm pretzels and a huge beer selection. Positives about the food tour: everything! The food was tasty, and just enough. No one left hungry. Also not overstuffed. The variety of the food was excellent, and they made accommodations for me as I do not eat pork. The walking pace and distance was fine. Also I very much enjoyed the bits of history sprinkled in. And Jack was a jovial guy, personable, easy going, made the tour fun. Negatives: can’t say much here, it was a fun time and I enjoyed the food tour, and recommend it. Maybe if someone is vegetarian, it might be worth checking in advance that accommodations can be made. (The city loves meet and seafood). I personally would have enjoyed more details about Providence’s history (that me being a nerd, not a criticism of the tour). From what was shared I now can go do some deep dives on my own, and also Jack thoughtfully suggested the Crime Town podcast which has a whole season devoted to providence. Overall, a great time, and would do it again.

We had a lot of fun on this tour led by Katy K. Although it was a pretty big group of 21, she herded us around the Federal Hill neighborhood and kept us very interested with the true tales of Mafia dealings, mob hits, getaways, pinches, and the life and times of Providence mayor Buddy Cianci. The food and wine were delicious and there were opportunities to do a little shopping as well to support local businesses. Highly recommend!
