Great chance to try a few food items & learn about the city

Julie_C, Aug 2025

Kari was our tour guide and we had so much fun! The trip during lunchtime takes you to eat lamb soup but the trip in the evening takes you to eat seafood soup. We took this trip in the evening and thought the soup was fantastic. We had a local hotdog and local ice cream.. we also had a chance to try some other local delicacies that he brought along with him. It was a very nice evening of walking around, although there was more walking than we had anticipated we got to see other parts of the town and learn a lot about the culture of the city.

The Best Food & Walking Tour We’ve Ever Done!

Allanna_A, Aug 2025

From start to finish, our walking/food tour with Kari was absolutely phenomenal. We’ve taken many tours like this all over the world, but Kari was hands-down the best guide we’ve ever had! His passion for the city’s history, combined with his incredible storytelling, made every stop come alive. The food was equally amazing—each bite felt like a piece of the culture and history we were exploring. Kari had the perfect balance of knowledge, humor, and warmth, and made the experience unforgettable. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate—this tour is worth every penny!

It's low impact, the food...

What a brilliant walk with Kari who is an excellent, informative guide. Really interesting, knowledgeable and fun. The food tasting at the different venues was novel.. Highly highly recommend him - he is a credit to your company.

Walk, Food and History through your eyes and conveyed by the guide.

Helena_O, May 2025

Actually one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Guide was well versed on history and latest developments taking place in the city and ferry islands within 3 hours of the city. I learned about what impacts were significant and change the course of life here. The food tour tied quite nicely into our walk throughout the city. The food tour started with a local hot dog and explanation of its presentation being slightly different in other cities. Next food was a fabulous fish soup at the restaurant in the Botanical gardens with lovely bread and yummy butter. Mug of delightful beer was served. Conversation was easy. There were lots of stops in each part of the city. Abundance of information given about the three sections of the city, sports competition, former cove area and housing, school requirements, summer jobs, churches as well as visually came upon each site. Heart shaped traffic lighting added to the softness and kindness that the people have for each other. I learned what every day youngsters and teenagers do in the city and the two islands nearby. Ice cream at a local hangout for inhabitants was a usual place for dating. So much to see and so much to enjoy. This tour became more customized to my inquires and made it more personalized for me. Quite a talent of the guide to draw you in to what the food, people and architecture of the town. Walk was back to starting point of the tour with a seafront type of walk. This tour’s elements were walk and food. However, it is more than that and you could do this tour over and over and over again and learn more and more and more about this city beloved by the people and the guide. Thank you so very much.
