Great Guide, wonderful stops - We booked a private tour for our Tri-State Club out of Del Webb Orlando - Amanda was terrific! Great guide with wonderful bits of history about Winter Haven along with wonderful food stops. She does an amazing job of giving you great insight into each location and stop, on the tour as well as being a wonderful ambassador for the various restaurants on the tour. Amanda was also great to work with for setting up the tour, made it easy to plan and made sure we had a full and complete fun day.

You won’t be disappointed - All the stops were unique, we appreciated the personal touch of specific food preferences (vegetarian, no cilantro, etc) something for everyone on this food tour.

Wonderful afternoon exploring somewhere different. - We had a great time with Amada on the tour a couple of weeks ago. With 4 adults (with over 40 trips to the Orlando area between us) and an 8 month old baby, we were looking for something new and different and this didn't disappoint. Winter Haven is really pretty and the eclectic food options were great with some real gems - we loved the meatballs and truffle fries, the gelato and balsamic (sooo good!) and the different beers in the Union Tap Room. Thanks again Amada!

Happy Hour in Winter Havens - What fun we had on our Happy Hour Food tour. We learned all about the history of this beautiful city, especially since Publix was founded here. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and we visited at least 5 different establishments. Good food, good drinks and fun while walking around!

A delightful slice of Winter Haven! - I came across this food tour while browsing 'non-theme park; activities in and around Orlando. Winter Haven is a nice little town and Amada took us around a few blocks to get a taste of what was aptly titled "taste of the world" - from cocktails and meatballs, olive oil-balsamic vinegar tasting to coffee and pastry, we experienced a bit of everything. Every place was a delight, the owners/staff were friendly and engaging and the food and drinks were good quality and well portioned. The pace was relaxing and it fit well into our relaxed vacation in Florida.
My favorites were the Chicken Tamales and the Bahn mi (fresh crusty bun and flavorful and crunchy pickles and fillings) and sweet and crisp Pandan Waffle. Amada was delightful and definitely recommend checking out Winter haven food tours. Note: this isn't your usual "fast paced-small bites-lots of locations" type of food tour, but a more personal and involved experience.

Taste of the World Food Tour in Winterhaven - I want to thank you for creating a memorable and inspiring food tour experience for me and my date. We greatly enjoyed the delectable fruit bruschetta from Obscure Wines, the scrumptious Bami from Bach Lac Bakery, and the divine chocolate expresso gelato paired with samplings of their balsamic vinegars. Unfortunately, we didn't get to indulge in the culinary delights of Temp 1930, El Olivia Mexican Restaurant, and Thai Haven, which was a bit disappointing. However, your passion for the history of Winter Haven made the tour even more fascinating. Additionally, The birthday surprise was a heartwarming touch that made the experience even more memorable.
