Great way to see the city! - Great way to get your bearings - excellent food and history. Nice variety of food cart to bar food to high end. There was also a wine, beer, and cocktail offered to pair with some of the dishes. Was given lots of suggestions for where to eat in the future - good your to do on the first day of your trip

Enjoyable, educational, delicious - Had a tour with Pat and it was one of the trip highlights. Pat was super knowledgeable and I learned some history about Portland even natives didn’t know. She also made everyone feel comfortable, I didn’t have any issues joining solo. The food was delicious with large potions and nice variety of casual/fancy/ethnicities. I choose nonalcoholic and the “pairings” offered were thoughtful and still complemented the food.

Good selection, quality and quantity - Pat did an excellent job sharing Portland history and great culinary stops. 5 stops from a stew, to a tamale, bao, pizza and ice cream. She was knowledgeable about chefs and their history in Portland. Food was tasty and you leave FULL. They do their best to accommodate allergies.

Loved this tour!! - I just moved to Portland a couple weeks ago and what better way to get my foodie bearings around downtown than to take this fantastic tour! I was solo in our wonderful group of 5 and our tour guide, Pat was an absolute delight!! I definitely found a fast favorite restaurant that I can’t wait to return to again and again! It was a perfect mix of cuisines and beverages! I can’t recommend this tour company enough!!!

Epic tour Pat was awesome! - Great tour and appropriately priced. The tour guide (Pat) was very informative and did a great job keeping the flow going, energy going, and engaged everyone in our group. Qs restaurant which was the dining sample on the tour was my favorite along with the desert spot! Pat gave great history about the city and at each restaurant we were in. The tour ended up being about two full hours which worked well for our day. Come hungry as there’s lots of food and leave happy!:)

Above & Beyond expectations - Donna met us as scheduled. At each stop the food and drink was delicious and representative of the local cuisine. Our favorite was beef entree at the Q restaurant where Chef Annie talked with us. Smoked trout & crackers, steamed buns @ Bao Bao food cart, Moonstruck truffles, chicken snacks, & ice cream sandwiches at Ruby Jewel were included. Donna pointed out special buildings (places to return to) and told us much Portland history. What a wonderful introduction to this city! Worth every penny!

Food was great! - Loved the food choices. The places we went were top notch. We were a solo couple on the tour and so didnt have others to chat with. Alexis gave us some good history but wasnt quite as bubbly to keep the tour as much fun as we were looking for. A little more playfulness would go a long way.
