Ross and Connor are the two guides most frequently mentioned in reviews, and both earn consistent, enthusiastic praise. Ross stands out for his deep knowledge of local architecture and neighborhood history, and reviewers specifically note his attentiveness to dietary restrictions, a small but meaningful detail that speaks to how well he looks after his group. Connor brings a more relaxed, conversational energy to his tours, with one reviewer summing him up perfectly as "a good guy who knows the city well and enjoys showing it off." The food itself gets just as much attention as the guides. Reviewers rave about the variety and quality of stops, with multiple cultures and cuisines represented across different neighborhoods. Connor also goes the extra mile by sharing post-tour recommendations, which several guests say they actually used. The tours clearly deliver on both the eating and the learning, covering everything from food culture to neighborhood history without feeling like a lecture. With a near-perfect rating across a large number of reviews, there's very little to flag here in terms of concerns. If anything, the biggest takeaway is that your guide matters and makes the experience, so it's worth noting that reviewers actively suggest requesting either Ross or Connor by name when booking.
Excellent experience, a great opportunity to sample locally made foods from different cultures. Ross was very informative on local architecture of certain buildings of interest! Would highly recommend for an afternoon!
