Book this tour with Ray on your next trip to Portland. It was the highlight of my birthday trip!! - 5!! Ray was a wealth of knowledge and we thoroughly enjoyed all the delicious food!!

Great food tour - Ray was a great guide! We learned a ton about Portland’s food scene and history. We had tons of yummy food as well. Highly recommend!

Great food - Ray is a fabulous, engaging guide! - We came to Maine very VERY early season (March 20th-24th) and were looking for something to do. Most of the area is still in full 'pre season' mode, with many restaurants and services closed, especially during the week. We found the walking Food tour on Viator and jumped at it - and boy were we glad that we did! Because of the time of year, my wife and I were alone on the tour and as such got to spend around 3 hours with our guide, Ray Sapirstein. Putting aside Ray's obvious love for Portland and food in general, he was a charming guy - keeping us engaged and entertained with stories about the area for the entire duration of the tour. Ray is a PHD trained historian and, as such, was able to fill in a lot of color about the area, going beyond the 'food' aspects of the tour, describing the 'hilly roads' which were sand dunes were covered up to build out the city. Add to that the fact that he took us to several places that we NEVER would have found via googling for 'best ofs' and would have been a HUGE failure to miss! Andy's Old Port Pub - a neighborhood bar (don't call it a dive, though in my mind it qualifies). Spend some time chatting with Thomas, the owner, and Steve the bartender - and had what I can only describe as the single best haddock taco I've ever had in my life. Do not judge a book by it's cover: this place is AWESOME. Great craft beer tap list, and a warm and friendly environment. If I lived in the area, this would be my regular. From there we went to Gilbert's Chowder house right next door - Ray was again right: don't sleep on the seafood chili - it was RIDICULOUSLY amazing. After that we paid a visit to the Harbor Fish Market where we got to see the recent catches, and as Ray pointed out the 'transparency' of the thing: fish are cleaned and prepped for sale right where the customer can watch, and all fish are labeled as 'fresh' (with VERY few pre-frozen exceptions). This is also the place to go if you want to buy Maine swag. From there we proceeded to Rigby House, an unassuming 'coffee shop and workspace' that Ray promised us had nothing short of the best lobster roll in Maine: I've had some good lobster rolls so I can't quite commit to that, but the bread it was built on was FANTASTIC, baked locally from one of the bakeries rated tops in the nation right in Portland. This stop came with either 2 samplers or 1 full pour from their 20+ menu. Don't miss the blueberry ale. It's a rare treat and again, came from Ray's love of his city. From there, we visited Dean's Sweet shop for a couple of truffles and terrible jokes, and then Fiasco's Gelato to round up our day - try the lobster gelato, it's weird and not something I'd necessarily do again...but glad to have had the experience. The whoopie pie gelato was top notch and the blueberry was one of the best gelatos I've ever had. For a 3 hour tour, with all food included, we were certainly full and happy. The walk was short - I don't think we wandered more than a mile in total - and when we were showing signs of being "Help me I'm not from Maine cold", Ray took us into Grittys, another neighborhood bar just for a warm up.

Do not eat breakfast... - Do not eat breakfast before starting this tour. We all would have preferred a little later start time since we were drinking beer at 11;00 in the morning.

Tour in winter - Ray was really nice and informative. We stopped at 3 food establishments and two dessert places. All were large portions. We walked on cleared sidewalks even after a large snowfall, so winter is a good time to go without the crowds.

Great Day in Portland - Ray was outstanding! He went out of his way to find the best culinary spots to share with us and enlighten us with Portland history along the way. The food and drinks were simply yum and he made sure we had a pleasant day. We would definitely recommend this tour!

My food tour in n Portland. - Great tour. Got to taste lots of different specialities of Portland. Our guide also told us a lot of history of the area and the culinary scene. Loved the tour.

Delicious Venture Around Old Port - We had a blast eating some traditional Maine cuisines while exploring the Old Port area and learning some of its history! Definitely a great way to try a bunch of dishes from some of the local's favorite spots!

Tour Guide Rambles - Food was good, however the tour guide Anne kept going on about her life. I came to eat food and learn about Portland, not hear about what your second son is doing at a brewery or the "Chocolate Pilot" from Germany.
