I’ve been on a few different food tours now and this was by far the most active one I’ve been on. To be fair, it was quite warm (as we expected) which I’m sure made it feel longer than it was but none of the stops were particularly close to one another and it made for a long day. I enjoyed going to the stop near the market and wish we could have had a bit more time there. The food was good and we enjoyed trying things we wouldn’t typically order. Our last two stops were a little underwhelming in my opinion. A piece of chocolate that was beautiful was nice but ending with half a croissant felt a little anticlimactic. Our guide, Cassie was very sweet and I felt had a good mix of talking and keeping us moving.

Got a great taste of Kansas City with a nice selection of foods. Got a chance to ride the Kansas City street car as well!

Cassie was fantastic! She was very informative and pleasant. Her energy and enthusiasm was palpable and very refreshing to see. The stops and the foods were fantastic. The last stop for dessert with a rooftop view of downtown KC was pretty cool. Highly recommended for sure.
