Madison's food tours consistently deliver exceptional experiences thanks to passionate guides who clearly love their city. Bart, Fernando, Miranda, Levi, and Shar all get praised by name for being knowledgeable, engaging, and making guests feel like they're exploring the city with a friend rather than following a scripted tour. The guides share fascinating historical tidbits about Madison and the Capitol area while keeping conversations flowing naturally with the group. The food itself hits the mark across different tour options. Guests rave about diverse stops like Monsoon Siam's Thai spring rolls and unique wings at Madison's, with typically five varied locations per tour. Walking distances stay manageable (around 10 minutes between stops), and the tours run smoothly even in winter weather. The guides show real flexibility too – when one restaurant unexpectedly closed, the guide quickly arranged an alternative that became a guest's favorite stop. The value stands out as impressive, with thoughtful coordination that gets groups in and out of restaurants seamlessly. Whether you choose the Atwood Brew & Chew, Capitol tour, Bike n' Bites, or Willy Street Global Eats, you're in for great food and genuine local insight.
We did the Atwood Brew & Chew on a very cold day. It was chilly but the walking time between places was 10 mins max so not to bad if your bundled up. Good thing to do in the winter if you are looking for something to get out of the house! Stopped at 5 different locations, well diversified food. Monsoon Siam for a Thai sampling platter was the fav. Bart was our guide for the day and he was so much fun & told us all the history of the area. Highly recommend to do this tour with Bart!!
