The variety and quality of the food was excellent! Plenty of food with learning about downtown Portland at the same time! Been on others in other cities.. this one was way above average and very enjoyable !!!

Thanks for spending some of your time here with Secret Food Tours. We hope the tour added a fun and personal touch to your visit. There’s always more to discover if you come back!
Rebecca was wonderful! We had a great tour today. We had a couple glitches when a planned stop closed unexpectedly, but that was in no way Rebecca’s fault. She had spoken to the establishment the day before and all was good, so something unexpected happened. My whole point in mentioning this, is to say it did t ruffle her feathers or throw her into a panic. We ended up at Jake’s and had amazing etouffee.
Lots of great food and we learned things we did t know about Portland which was so much fun.

From the first stop onward, we’re glad you enjoyed the pace and selection. The team appreciated having you along for the afternoon. We hope to welcome you back on another Secret Food Tours route!
It’s walking through many blocks of downtown with all of its good and ugly sides. Just don’t let that hold you back from taking this great tour.

The food was really good. Although, carb overload is a thing. I needed to nap after the walk and the carbs. LOL
Isabel shared a lot of information about Portland. It was nice to taste some food from different cultures! I think the Tokyo Sando was the favorite in the group.

We’re locals living in the burbs of Portland but we don’t get downtown often. This was a fun day out and a chance to try some of the great foodie offerings Portland is known for. Ken did a great job giving us some local history and walking us around town. Good mix of food carts, Italian, Asian, a brewery, and a quirky dessert option. Interesting to see your own town in the eyes of a tourist.

Overall great experience and excellent guide with good stories about the city. My only comment is perhaps dropping the pasta stop for something a little different.

Great food!!! Our guide was wonderful with stories of historical Portland and suggestions for other places to try. We were full by the end of the tour. It was much more than food tastings - a guided tour of downtown Portland.
