Munching and chuckling our way through Providence

Published on Dec, 2024

My experience bringing my office out on a Food Tour of Providence was fantastic! My staff had a blast being led by Michelle who explained the history and culture of RI in a humorous, lighthearted way. The 6 restaurants she brought us to served up high quality, creatively prepared dishes which were one yummier than the next. This jaunt certainly made me proud to call RI home !

Downcity delicious!

We loved our Downcity tour with Michelle! Great local knowledge and storytelling. Food and eateries were varied and delicious. Highly recommend.

Deliciously fun tour!!!!

Took this tour with my husband, as a birthday gift for him. Winter time and cold for a walking tour but that didn’t diminish the experience at all. We’re local to the area, but love checking out new local restaurants and culturally diverse food. Our tour guide Jenny was amazing, funny, informative and her love of RI and providence shows in her wealth of knowledge regarding the city’s past history and present fun facts and hot spots . Well worth the money, food portions were large and filling, way more than just sample bits, lots of laughs, no matter what season I think well-worth-it tour to try!!!!

5 stars!

Michelle was awesome and the food was great. No boos - only stars! I can't wait to have more friends visit us and give us an excuse to experience this again.

Great experience. Excellent guide
