My husband and I were given this Food Tour for Christmas from our daughters. It was a wonderful experience. Our guide was fun and informative and we became friends with a couple from Ontario, Canada which was very interesting. The restaurants and the food served was outstanding - drinks were great too. We will definitely do another food tour!!

The food and atmosphere at the tour stops was amazing. Narissa was delightful and surprised us with all the Mobile history she knew. The food at the stops really showcased the eclectic history of Mobile. I will definitely recommend the tour to friends and family.

First of all the food was really good and we went to some wonderful places. The whole atmosphere was a relaxed fun evening with history thrown in. Our tour guide Bella was very knowledgeable and made it even more fun. Sophia was training and added to the atmosphere. By the end of the tour we all felt like old friends even though we just met. What more can you ask….

My husband and I went on the Downtown Mobile Food Tour with LaDonnia as our guide. This was a day trip from New Orleans. We were so impressed with the beautiful town, the history and food. We have been on many food tours in the past. Its usually the first thing we do in any new city. In our travels, we have had some hits and misses in terms of tour guides, but LaDonnia was at the top of the list for us. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We feel that she went above and beyond as a Tour guide. In terms of the city of Mobile, AL and the food we tasted, both surpassed our expectations. We started at a beautiful restaurant with city views and ended at an underground Speakeasy. From top to bottom, this was well-worth the day trip from New Orleans, and left us wanted to come back to explore more of the AL.

It was such a fun time. The food was great albeit very filling! It was nice to experience places that we may have not knew existed to try. Totally worth the trip. :)

This was the best food tour we have ever been on. Our guide, Lee, was so knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the city and had some incredibly tasty treats! If you like to imbibe, the add on drink package was well worth it. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. You will really enjoy it!

My husband and I did the food tour and it included 7 different stops. We enjoyed everything from oysters to beignets to chicken wings and more. Our tour guide, Cynthia, was very pleasant and provided some history of Mobile. The walk is very flat and an easy pace so most people can participate.

We liked the tour; good guide, plenty of food. Would recommend. One caveat: Viator is only the booking agent, and our reservation that we had for a month in advance gave us a start time of 2:00; everyone else had been given a start time of 1:30, so we were late at the start. Also, no instructions on nearby parking, which was somewhat of a problem for people not familiar with Mobile.
