Fantastic tour! - We had a fantastic 3 hours of eating, drinking and laughing with our wonderful guide Taylor S. She guided us to many restaurants and we tasted many delicious dishes and drinks. Taylor shared a lot of the history of Ocean City that was very interesting. We enjoyed it all!

Girls’ outing in OCMD - The Boardwalk Foodie Tour was an awesome way to spend our Friday. Food tours are one of my favorite activities when visiting a new city and this one did not disappoint! Paulette (our guide) was an OCMD local (and fellow educator) who was full of knowledge about every tasting location and also gave us an insiders look at OC history. The food sampled at each stop was delicious and was a nice way to try items and figure out where you want to go back to for a full meal! Come hungry, wear comfy shoes, and get ready to have some great conversations!

The OC tour that has it all! - What an experience! I highly recommend this tour, and particularly, Paulette! She was a wealth of knowledge, personality and fun. There was a great mix of food and beverages along the tour and I learned so much about Ocean City's history, landmarks and life style.

OC Downtown/Boardwalk Foodie Tour - Four friends headed out for a day of fun on the OC Foodie Tour. It was one of our friends birthday, and the tour was a perfect way to celebrate. We are all locals and were excited to try the tour. From meeting at the Angler and having a welcome drink, it was apparent that we were going to have a fun day! We went to many local bars and restaurants, some were familiar and a few new spots. Along the way, we stopped to hear about local town history and interesting facts. I think the OC Foodie Tour is great experience. It’s a great way to spend the day , whether you have lived here all your life or a first time visitor. Cheers!

Best Tour in OC MD! Downtown Boardwalk Tour - This tour is definitely worth the $$$$. We were so full and Cathey the tour guide was awesome. Our tour was intimate. It was just us and another guest. Cathey really knew her history. She knows I’m waiting on a couple of challenge questions I left her with 🤣🤣🤣!! My husband and 19 yr old son thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a MUST! I picked the right tour out of all the others in OC MD. She was very patient with me because I had surgery and have to wear a back brace. So stopping wasn’t a problem for her. We were lucky enough to see the Blue Angels and all others practice for the air show. It was canceled due to rain but we weren’t planning to go anyway. The day was perfect and the tour made it even more awesome. Below are places where we tried the food and drinks: 1. Sand sculptures by Randy Hoffman 2. The Angler Restaurant and Bar 🎏Grouper Fingers and a Goombay Smash 3. M.R. Ducks 🦆boom boom shrimp  and crabby pretzel 4. Harbor Inn 🍸 drink called the Whiplash 5. Toast-bruschetta and New York style cheesecake 6. The Bar-chicken cheesesteak and mozzarella stick  7. Thrashers 🍟 Fries with vinegar… No ketchup! 8. Ripley’s Believe It or Not 🐜 Bugs! White Chocolate covered ants! Didn’t taste ants 🙌🏽 9. King’s Funnel Cakes- funnel cake and deep fried Oreos. The owner Danny was my new best friend. He didn’t want me to leave. 🤣 10. Wockenfuss Candies🍓 chocolate covered strawberries and nonpareils.  11. Latte Enjoy-OC Hippie Bowl with açaí, mixed berries, granola, honey, Chia, and coconut flakes, plus a Nutella Frappe 🍌🍍🍏 Surely, we will be back and I pray she is sill the tour guide.

Great hospitality - This bayside tour of OC is fantastic! Knowledgeable hosts and friendly captain made the tour a pleasure. The restaurant stops were great, with reserved tables with sampler drinks and lots of tasty food. 24 ft pontoon with shaded seating was a comfortable ferry and made for a relaxing day on the water.

Must do tour for Ocean City, Maryland!!!! - This tour is the best introduction to OC Maryland. The tour guide Cathey really was a great person to lead the tour. She knows her history, personable, dropped some fun facts during the tour, and really made sure we were able to experience OC. We didn't feel rushed at any spot we visited even though some of our group was running late. We were able to visit about 10 spots and try something at each place. If I’m ever in the area, I would definitely book another tour through this company!
