Fun, flavorful, entertaining - This food tour was fantastic. Portions were very generous—more than enough for a meal. Our guide, AJ, was super knowledgeable and charismatic. Great way to explore Portland and the food scene there.

Best food tour EVER - AJ was an outstanding tour guide! All of the stops had fabulous food… not not just a nibble! The lobster roll was at Mash Tun was amazing! Plus the fish taco and chowder! We enjoyed learning more about both Portland and Maine, and lobsters and oysters with great facts and interesting conversations! Plus AJ treated us to delicious focaccia bread, wonderful doughnuts and many suggestions for the Portland dining scene to help round out our trip! Highly recommend and will do this tour again with my family!

Amazing Food Tour - The Old Port Culinary Walking Tour was amazing and a highlight of our trip to Maine. Timothy was a great guide. He had a lot of local knowledge and a great sense of humor. He told really great stories about the city. We learned a lot and had a great time. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portland.

Amazing Food and Guide! - I am so glad that we signed up for this tour! The food was absolutely amazing and we went into places that we probably would have missed, otherwise. Our tour guide, Tim, also made the tour fantastic. Being a local, he had many stories to share and took his time making sure that we knew the history that makes Portland so awesome. His energy was contagious...I wish we could've just hung out all day!

Riviting! - The tour was fantastic. Timothy's wealth of knowledge and insights into the area along with his engaging personality kept us rivited throughout our time together. We were somewhat sad to see the tour come to a close.

Never again - You could not pay me to take this tour again. I’ve taken many food tours in different cities. I’m glad this was not my first experience or I’d probably never take another
