Tricia gave us a wonderfully personalized tour of old Town Fort Collins. Great food partners with tasty food choices! Could do this tour again and again as the food stops change from tour to tour. Highly recommend to friends, family groups and anyone looking for a great time. Thanks, Tricia. We appreciate your enthusiasm and thank you for sharing your knowledge of Fort Collins with us.

Interesting historical facts about the early years of Fort Collins and introduction to shops and restaurants that we had not previously known about.

This was an outstanding food/history tour. The quality and amount of food selected was enough to fill you up and even take home. We visited 5 different places, each one with varying amounts of food. Tricia and Christy made it fun and informative.

Tricia did a fabulous job of picking the local establishments for us to learn about history of Fort Collins and the historical buildings.
The restaurants that we visited had such unique and tasty food. I highly recommend this fun filled tour. We went to four restaurants and a hot sauce shop. Easy and walkable. They can accommodate a group up to eight. You can’t miss this fabulous experience with a knowledgeable, professional guide and your friends and family.

Tricia, our guide, was a delight. She was kind, informative, and funny. She picked wonderful stops and the proprietors of each were very interactive. Loved this tour. Highly recommend!!

Be prepared for a bit of walking and a lot of good eating. We didn’t take notes of the 5 places we ate at so when we went back the next day to try a couple again, we had to really wrack our brains.
Come hungry, don’t have a big lunch, and don’t try to eat everything they give you. Pace yourself.
Tricia was great at explaining things, like the history of the restaurants and of the area. We would do the tour again next time we’re in Fort Collins.

Mari_S, Apr 2025
This is an excellent experience. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. She shared information about Fort Collins with us as we walked between venues that brought out a better understanding of this wonderful city. It was clear that she has strong positive relationships with all of the chefs and staff at the places we visited. The food was excellent and plentiful. We were so full by the end of the tour that we did not need anything to eat until the next day.
Tracy_H, Apr 2025
Amazing food your. There were 8 of us and everyone loved it! We do them all the time but this one was definitely one of the best. Food was incredibly tasty and VERY plentiful so pace yourself. They actually box up leftovers if you want them!!
Amy_H, Mar 2025
A great variety of foods, not too long of a walk, and a balanced mix of tasting and local history. Tricia was a lovely guide!

Really enjoyed the popcorn shrimp and pretty much everything at the still whiskey. Didn’t eat one bad and our guide was super knowledgeable about Fort Collins history which added a nice touch to the tour.
Karen_P, Nov 2024
I have traveled to Ft. Collins several times on business. Tricia took us to several places I was unfamiliar with around town. The food and history were great! The merchants were all friendly and welcoming. I will return to the establishments we ate at because of the tour. I enthusiastically recommend this tour!
Linda_G, Sep 2024
We so enjoyed this tour! Tricia was a wonderful tour guide. Her knowledge of the area was delightful. I am a Fort Collins resident and I will do this tour again. This is the best food tour I have taken. Thank you so much Tricia.

Spent a great afternoon with Trisha showing us around Ft Collins. Went to some very fun places and sampled some great unique foods. If you do this tour, make sure you go hungry! We were all beyond full when we got done! Thank you for a great afternoon and showing us around town!
Thomas_K, Jul 2024
We were lucky enough to get a private tour with Tricia. She was delightful and full of interesting Ft. Collins information. The food was amazing, wonderful range, and plentiful! Take this tour hungry!

It was a fabulous tour. I loved hearing the history of the Old Town of Fort Collins.
Very friendly guide. Loved the food.
My advice to anyone considering taking a tour is to do it early in their visit so they can return to their favorites.
Thank you

My family and I had a great time on the tour. We were introduced to some great restaurants in Ft. Collins and we are definitely planning on visiting again. Tricia was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the restaurants, food, and town. This was a perfect way to get to know Ft. Collins a little better.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Hi Laura - thank you so much for the review! We loved hosting you and your family this weekend and happy to hear that you plan on visiting our restaurants again.
Tracye_G, Oct 2022
The downturn area is beautifully maintained, the restaurant owners were friendly and informative, the food was very good (nice portion sizes), hostess was knowledgeable and interested in her guests and I learned quite a bit about the history of Fort Collins. I thoroughly enjoyed it!❤️
Ruth_T, Jun 2022
It was great to try different foods and learn about the history of the restaurants. Very easy walk and the food was delicious. What would make it better if drinks were provided besides water. Also, we went to a hard apple cider restaurant were that was the main focus and we had to pay for the drinks. If that is the main focus, then it should have been provided for free, even if it's only 1/2 ounce per person. Lastly, if someone from each restaurant could give us more in depth of their menu, their values, what they're planning for the future. Shout out to Ginger and Baker for doing this best.
Jeff_R, May 2022
Trish was a great host for this food tour! She was very knowledgeable of Ft. Collins and each of the places we visited food was spectacular! We would definitely recommend to anyone!
Nancy_R, Apr 2022
Our food tour with Trish was so much fun. The stops were very well curated and it gave us a chance to try new and different places that we wouldn't otherwise try. At each of the stops the portions were generous and the offerings were fun and delicious.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hi Nancy! Thank you very much for your review, and we enjoyed hosting you last week. We hope the rest of your weekend in Fort Collins was memorable!
