Great day visiting new restaurants
Mindy_G, Oct 2022
Great way to explore providence! Had a wonderful time visiting nee restaurants. Our guide Jack was knowledgeable and very engaging. We will definitely recommend this walking and food tour to our friends.
A Delightful experience
Teresa_L, Sept 2022
Exploring restaurants that were unknown to me. Walking through the city and learning some history. All the food that we tasted were delicious!!!!! Very well organized and our tour leader, Elleen was superb!!!!!! The portions were perfect and the service at each restaurant was very quick. One of the owners of the restaurant spent a lot of time talking to us about the food, his restaurant and about his country. He answered all of our questions. Elleen was very upbeat and positive, she really caught everyones attention and made the experience really fun!
Great tour - leave full and happy

I was late and the guide Jenny did an excellent job of making sure I showed up. Overall this was an excellent food tour and would highly recommend it to anyone who is passionate about food and beer.
Kin!
Dave_H, July 2021
Lanie was a natural as a guide, while we ate our way through Providence, Rhode Island. She clearly has good rapport with the restaurants we frequented and easily established relationships within our group of foodies, who began to feel like kinfolk by the end of the tour. We especially appreciated the decision to visit Kin, a black-owned southern food gem. The Providence food scene does not disappoint.
