Awesome experience on Tampa's Culinary Tour - My co-workers and I participated in this tour as part of an end of year engagement activity. We all loved the tour. Our guide was extremely informative about Tampa and the places we walked by or visited. There are a few places my co-workers, and I are definitely going back to, to spend more time. The tour had 4 food stops and all were very good. The Oxford Exchange was a favorite and worth a second visit. In addition, we went to a local Italian restaurant, a chocolate shop, and last was fondue. Our only recommendation for the tour would be that the fondue place offer dessert instead of cheese since it was the last stop and we had all eaten what equated to a full meal with apps. The walking was definitely doable, our group consisted of all ages, but the stops and meals were frequent enough that it did not cause a strain on anyone. All the prearranged food and tip was included in the ticket costs making this an amazing deal for the price. We will definitely be doing more tours like this in the future.

Fun, informative and delicious walking tour - Kelley was a fantastic guide! We have been to Tampa many times over the years but she took us to so many cool and interesting places that we’ve never been before and wouldn’t have discovered on our own. And the history was amazing. For example the old court house was turned into a hotel and restaurant. We not only had a lovely private food tasting there but also saw remnants of how it looked years ago, such as the judges private elevator. The food we had was all delicious! We could hardly eat it all. We had such a diverse experience with going through a lovely park, seeing historic sites and monuments and also beautiful and cool restaurants like the Oxford exchange. Kelley was very informative and knowledgeable. We were a group of two couples and we all thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience!

Great Food Tour! - Wow! Wow! Wow! Is all I have to say! This tour was so much fun. Me and my girlfriends decided to do this tour and am so glad we did. Kelly was our guide and so knowledgable of the history of the place. I never knew John F Kennedy had history in Tampa! My favorite dish was the Fish Ceviche Tosada at La Meridian! Will definitely be back to do one of the St. Pete or Sarasota Tours
