Pleased… - Our guide Lauren was the best. Although she said she was filling in for someone, we couldn’t tell. She was kind, personal and very knowledgeable about Tampa. Lauren answered our questions and shared her personal experiences in Tampa which made us feel at home. We will choose her over and over again! I forgot to mention the food, which was delicious. My husband and returned to Bavaros the next day.

Historical & Yummy! - Our tour guide, Victoria, was friendly, knowledgeable, and so sweet. She shared lots of history about the city with us. It was a very hot day but she made sure we made frequent stops in the shade. I never felt rushed. The food was excellent and we were served good-size portions. I would highly recommend this tour.

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.
