Fun Tour - We had a really fun time. It was great to try foods I probably wouldn’t have picked for myself. The portions were big and the food picks were good. Herb was a great guide that was fun to talk with and learn from.

Portland Food Cart / Pod Tour a Great Find - Great tour and introduction to Portland's food cart / pod scene. Herb was our guide for the tour and could not have been better. His personality and local knowledge made the tour memorable. Sampled some great foods and continued to find different food cart pods on our own after the tour. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Portland.

Fantastic Portland food, history and fun! - The Portland Food Carts, Pods, and Patios tour was a great way to enjoy some of Portland’s best bites with a fun foodie tour guide! Our guide, Herb, made us feel like friends from the start, and introduced us to some fantastic food to go with some Portland history and an easy neighborhood stroll. I am a creature of habit with food carts/trucks - I always order Thai or Mediterranean. What I loved most was that Herb brought us food samples from carts I never would’ve tried on my own, and I loved every single one of the drinks and eats placed in front of me! Although all were delicious, my personal fave were the Pelmeni dumplings at Hawthorne Asylum food carts. We had a blast with our friendly tour mates from North Portland, too. Definitely recommend, and found it a great value for the food and tour!
