Very informative and fun. Food was so delicious and guide was great, very knowledgeable and group size wasn’t too big.
Zoe_B, Jul 2025
The food is delicious and the history is rich. This was my 3rd time on this tour. There were only 3 stops this time, but the food was outstanding at each stop. The walk between restaurants was quite long, it would have been nice to have smaller stops in between, even if just for some local history or chat about the architecture. Our guide, Christian, was very knowledgeable and fun, but the group size (14) was probably too big. Overall I recommend this tour, but adding another stop and getting restaurants a little closer together would be nice. Maybe adding a soul food stop as part of the tour could expand on the neighborhood's history and add some variety.
