Fun Tour in a Charming Seaside Town

We had a great time on this tour and highly recommend it for a fun date activity or reunion activity. I learned a lot about the history and culture of the city and our guide was able to answer everyone's questions. There was so much food to try and all of it was delicious! Well worth the value and was glad to get as a gift :)

The Culinary Tour of Annapolis was wonderful. It combined a nice mix of history, scenery, and the opportunity to experience new food venues. I would highly recommend it to tourists and residents, like me, alike. Our guide, Sam, was exceptional, and I know she made the experience as special as it was.

Our leader, Sam, was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, conveyed Annapolis history throughout tour. Good sampling of delicious Maryland seafood, pizza unique and good beer - excellent. First time for the other members of our group - told them about Xperience Days and the 5 other tours we've attended. They made a photo of our confirmation paper. Sam loves her job and Annapolis. Her enthusiasm and messages show that. Thank you Sam!!

This was an extremely pleasant experience. It was a Christmas gift from nephew, John. Everything about it was perfect. Starting with our tour guide, Carolyn. She was very well-informed and presented the information in a delightful manner. The food that we were served was delicious at all 5 restaurants. In fact, we are hoping to return soon to go to some of the same places. The weather was perfect. And the dividend of seeing the fresh flowers for May Day even added to our delight. THANK YOU very much.

This tour was great! We had such a nice time. There is a great deal of history in Annapolis. Its a great city, with great food and friendly people. Our tour guide, Carolyn was just wonderful. She truly made the experience exciting. The food choices on the tour were also great and they are very accommodating if you have an allergy or if it isn't a preferred food choice of yours. Definitely worth going!

Our guide, Melissa was well informed and passionate about the town and it's history. Really enjoyed the opportunity to sample several different style restaurants. The food and drinks that were served were delicious and it was nice to have a number of local specialities such as the oyster shooters, crab soup and Smith Island cake.

Just Awesome

Rich history. Amazing food. Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. What else more could you ask? Me and my fiancee have probably done about 15 experiences across America and this was , hands down, the most well thought-out, well-researched, and well-fed tour we've been on. All of our experiences have been astounding, but this one was just a cut above the rest.

100% recommended! The Culinary Tour in Annapolis was perfect, the tour guide Stephanie did an outstanding job relaying the history during the tour. The weather was perfect, and the four of us (ladies) had a great time and enjoyed the tastings.(They even tweaked one persons tastings due to gluten sensitivity) A great day trip - I'll bring my husband next time and stay overnight to see more!

Review of Annapolis Food Tour

Our guide Stephanie really made this tour for us. She was very personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. The restaurants we visited were excellent and the amount of food and drink we received was more than sufficient. Loved hearing all the history of Annapolis, and Stephanie knew a lot of information regarding the area. She kept us on schedule and she had it very well organized. Would definitely recommend to friends.

I never would have purchased this on my own, but am very glad that our daughter gave it to us as a gift. We are not foodies, but we are history buffs, and the information, as well as the guide, were quite interesting. The food was a bonus.

The tour was nice and enjoyable. Plenty of food to sample and nice walk around the city. Web site needs to update the stops the tour makes as it was different than stated, but still very good. Tour guide was excellent.

Great Tour

My husband and son-in-law went on the tour. They had a great time. The tour guide was knowledgeable. The food was delicious and plentiful. They even made substitutions where my husband was allergic to seafood. We were notified before the tour to inform them of my husbands allergies. They really had a wonderful experience both food wise and history wise. Would do this again anytime! The weekend was a gift for my husband and the tour was certainly the highlight.

Food Tour Review

We were a bit surprised that the tour was more of a history tour than a food tour as the description on the website had led us to believe. Our tour guide Carol was very nice and upbeat and has an extreme wealth of knowledge. We were more interested in the tour for the food stops not the history stops. Would definitely recommend if you are into History but not so sure I'd recommend if you are looking to go for the culinary sides of things.

The guide, Carolyn, was in costume and character for the times, extremely experienced in the history of the town and time period, and well organized. The food was plentiful and excellent. We were stuffed by the end.

Food Tour Review

My friend and I had a good time. Our tour guide Rose was wonderful. The only issue I had was with the number of people in our group. We had 16 which I think is way too many. I do understand there was a mix up and you had two more than expected but I still think more than ten people is too much for this kind of tour. Other than that it was a nice experience.

Great tour if you love history. I have visited this area of Annapolis many times but not like this. I cannot wait to go back and show friends. Lots of walking, lots of good food. Our guide Rose was wonderful! Only complaint was there was too many people. It said for 14 and yet 16 were booked....tooo crowded. 10 would be perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Annapolis food tour. What a great way to see the city. Susan, our guide, was informative, entertaining, and determined for us to have a great time. We loved that you received earpieces so that we could hear her easily along the way. We would recommend this tour to others!

Annapolis Food Tour

I was under the impression this would be only about great places to eat and drink in Annapolis. It did have a lot of that, but most of the tour was a history lesson of the people of Annapolis in Colonial times. We still enjoyed it for what it was though.

Annapolis Food Tour

We enjoyed it a lot though there were 3 things on the list that we didn't go to for some reason. But the restaurant hosts were very friendly and the food very good. The guide was ok. The brochure advertised time to take a quick photo or buy a souvenir. Every time someone stopped for a picture we were told that we had to keep moving and she couldn't have us lagging behind. Which as I understand it is why we had the earphones. We were never out of sight of her at all and the streets were crowded. We found her a bit overbearing. However, Kelsey, her assistant, was charming and fun and we enjoyed her tremendously even though our guide was not very nice to her.
