Great experience! - We had a great time on this tour! My boyfriend and I came to Biloxi for vacation and this was our last “event”. Clay and Leon were great! Their knowledge of Ocean Springs was vast and all of the food and drinks we sampled were fabulous! This is definitely something to try if you are in the area!
Thank you for the great experience!

Way above expectations - Way above expectations! Food and tour was great! Never waited more than 5 minutes for anything anywhere. And the 3 hours still flew by. Do not worry about any awkwardness or anything of that sort. Guide could hold a conversation for hours.

Amazing Food Tour! - My sisters and I did this food tour, and we had so much fun! It was a really neat way to spend a few hours in Ocean Springs. We got to try foods I’d never had before, learned a lot about the history of the area, and visited a few places I’d never been in even though I live nearby.
Everything was well planned, and our guide made the tour fun and interesting. I left feeling like I knew Ocean Springs a little better (and definitely left full!). I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area or even locals looking to try something different.

Lot of walking to restaurants - The starting point is a 20 minute walk from the ending point. The tour has been in business 3 months, so adjustments may be made. Prepare for heat if in summer months.
Enjoyable, informative, friendly guide, interesting food choices.
