Great food tour of The Hill! - My husband and I had a great day with Wayne doing a walking tour of The Hill and stopping in at several of the favorite food establishments. Wayne was very informative, and we got a good sense of this special neighborhood and its unique history and culture. We sampled a great variety of food, all delicious. Wayne quickly tuned in to some of our preferences, and made quick adjustments to accommodate us. Definitely recommend!

Great day in a truly unique place ! - Just back from a great day on the Hill in St Louis. This is a tour that must be experienced and is truly more than the sum of its parts. The culture and history of this part of St Louis is a testament to a community that has managed to retain its identity even as the flight to the suburbs has destroyed many others. Wayne is a knowledgeable and easy to talk to guide with his own roots in the food and hospitality business. The tour was a good mix of strolling through the neighborhoods that are part of the Hill, stopping in various shops, restaurants and bars with a gelato stop at the end for the perfect sweet ending. Wayne strives to offer his guests flexibility in the tour and can adjust to suit your needs. We were very happy with the tour and would not hesitate to book Wayne again for another St. Louis tour.

Fun facts and food, so fun - We all really enjoyed the walking food tour. Contrary to some of the other reviews we felt there was plenty of food. Yes, you were served just tastes at each stop, but there were plenty of stops. It was good mix of Hill history and Italian food tidbits. Bring good walking shoes and enjoy. We would highly recommend.

Great experience - Wayne was knowledgeable and allowed us to customize our tour to our liking. However he also got us to go out on a limb with some flavor combinations and things I may not have tried on my own.
