That's wonderful! We're so glad you enjoyed the experience. Thank you for your review!

Great time to connect with other humans

SueLin_T, Feb 2023

Jason did a great job introducing the food tour and setting the ground rules. He encouraged us to talk to each other and “be kind,” with intentionality. Even though I went with my spouse, we both needed up engaged in conversations with others who we typically wouldn’t “hang out” with. I realized how important human connection is, and how easy it is with people who walk different paths of life. Oh, and the food was awesome too. :)

Response from Host, Feb 2023

That's so wonderful! We are so glad that you were able to connect with others during your food tour. Thank you for joining us, and we hope we can host you again in the future!

Take Roger’s tour

Cindy_B, Jan 2023

It was wonderful, Roger had everything planned perfect. We never had to wait to be seated or for the food. Every thing was spot on, food was great. Jack Quinn’s was the best. The owner sat and told us many stories that we could relate to as we have been to Ireland. Great job Roger!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Roger will be so pleased to know that you enjoyed taking his tour! Thank you for leaving us a review.

Gina_L, Jul 2022

Toured a different part of the city than where we stayed. Therefore visited restaurants we would not have tried on our own. The food at every stop was excellent.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

We're glad that we got to introduce you to new restaurants! Thank you for leaving us a review.

Fun tour!

MaryP_B, Jun 2022

This was a fun way to spend a couple hours in Colorado Springs. We added the alcohol pairings for an extra $15, which was definitely a good choice, you had the option to choose drinks at 3 locations, there were a couple of beers, wines and a margarita. Our tour guide Amber was very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed learning about the area's history and the background of some of the restaurants.

Response from Host, Jun 2022
