Food tour for the win!

Colleen_M, May 2025
Mike was a fantastic guide! It was the perfect blend of delicious food and local history. Sadly it was a rainy day but he kept us under awnings when possible. The rain didn’t stop us we had a fantastic time!

A great time

Sonnya_T, Mar 2023
Riverside Food Tours is a great company to select for your food tour experience. The restaurant & food choices are perfect & there is plenty to keep your hunger away! Mike was a great guide as is his wife (whom I've had the pleasure of having on a different tour they offer). I highly reccommend the Mainstrausse tour, you won't be disappointed! This was my husband's first food tour & he thoroughly enjoyed it.
