Food tour is not to be missed as part of a Newport visit. Our guide was friendly and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Fabulous experience!

Ronda_M, Sep 2023

Great food tour! Our guide, Cece, is a local who is knowledgeable and fun. Enjoyed how she shared the history of the area as we walked to each restaurant. The restaurants are well chosen for quality and variety - jerk chicken, craft cold brew with pesto toast, craft tacos, ribs, Asian, and a dessert. We got the optional drink package - glad we did. Had a great blood orange margarita with the taco and an excellent sake with the Asian noodles (I appreciate sake so much more now!). The restaurants were all welcoming and well-prepared for us. Definitely recommend!!

Elisee are guide was such a sweetheart and wealth of knowledge! She took us to 6 amazing restaurants that I would have never found on my own. The food and drinks were ALL so tasty and I tried things I would have never thought to order. I highly recommend this tour four young and old visiting Newport. My friends and I even went back to one of the restaurants later in the day because the food was so good 😊
