Worth the money!
Great experience
A great way to see Portland
Tour was fun
The following are comments shared directly to us by our guests: We took a Foodie Tour for my bachlorette party back in early August. We had a WONDERFUL time on our tour and I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable afternoon with my girlfriends! It was a fun and relaxing afternoon to spend in a beautiful city before my wedding! Our tour guide, John was fantastic too! I wish you much success in this new business! -Sarah Palmer
We loved it!
-Hannah and Peggy Laskey, Eddington, ME
Pam, Thank you, thank you, thank you! The tour was way more than I expected and the truffles were just amazing! It was not only fun, but Jennifer and I rekindled our old relationship and romance thanks to you! Best to you and your dream team! -Tony Benitez, Sous Chef Norway, Epcot Center, FL
Comprehensive, Informative, and Thoroughly Enjoyable….even in the rain! We loved that we were introduced to places that we had never seen before (and we have spent lots of time in this town near our home in Sebago over the last ten years!) You offered us a good balance of history and information about the food we enjoyed to which we give a big “thumbs up!” -Deb Anthony and Dana Gschwendtner, Allentown, PA.
I took the MFT looking for an outdoor adventure to recommend to my foodie friends. I was very pleased with the knowledge I learned and really enjoyed sampling all the goodies. Thank you! -Heather Jamieson, Scarboro, ME
We were looking for a new tour to introduce to all our summer guests and we were not disappointed! Our tour guide, John, was thoroughly entertaining and we actually learned a lot about our neighbor city. We had a really good time and plan to send our friends this way. Thank you! -John and Jean Frazier, Scarboro, ME
What a great time! The combination of fabulous artisan food tastings and the history of Portland made the two hours flew by! In fact, we were having such a great time, we made our charming and witty guide bring us back a little late. I highly recommend this tour now to all my friends in CT! -Carol Perkins, Woodstock, CT
This tour gave us a taste of Portland which we would not have learned on our own. The guide added a lot of context for us and we loved the wide variety of native to Maine foods. -Prachi Patel and Joel Predd, Pittsburgh, PA
We had a marvelous time! This was very informative and nicely paced for all ages. (We had two strollers full!) -Donna Naroff, Nashua, NH
My wife and I were introduced by name to all the other attendees before the tour even started, so we loved getting to know one another during the walk. It was a very personal tour and we really liked the interactive nature of it all. Our guide, John, was terrific and we enjoyed a beer at Grittys with all our new friends. Thank you for a wonderful tour! -Mr and Mrs Belcher, Purton, England
The stops on the tour were all unique and I seriously loved the dark chocolate truffle as we learned the origin of the ?Needham?. Plus, the smoked trout was just delish. But, my favorite stop was learning about and tasting the local, organic cheeses from Kris Horton at her shop. We had a bunch of ?cheese heads? from Wisconsin on our tour, and they simply could not stump Kris in any way, shape, or form. That was just so fun to watch. The whole tour made me proud of the fine foods produced in our state and the talented artisans who make amazing foods to enjoy. Thank you for a totally fun, feel good experience. -Donna Laskey, Deer Isle, ME
