5.00Cyndi was just simply amazing. She was full of a vast amount of historical knowledge and just a wonderful spirit. She made you feel comfortable and as if you’ve known each other a long time. Now the food tour AWESOME! An experience diving into cuisines that most would never dream of trying. Great way to expand your palette and learn so many new things. In summary….look no further and book with Cyndi. Worth every minute.

5.00Cyndi was so wonderful, energetic and knowledgeable!! She knows the owners and staff, she was on time and prepared to take us on an exiting adventure!! As she took us around it was noticeable she had done her research and knew the history of the area. The food she had us sample was amazing and delicious, all items I would have never picked in my own. My husband and I were so happy we chose her as our guide! Top tier experience!!

5.00Very enjoyable experience. There was four of us in the group which contributed to an intimate and engaging tour. We visited four restaurants in the historic district and had a different course at each - salad, appetizer, pasta, entree and dessert. Each course was unique and all were delicious. Cindy throughly explained all dishes and also gave us a history lesson about this section of Fort Lauderdale. Recommend this tour!!
Had a blast with Cyndi guiding!

5.00My friends took me on this tour for my 70th birthday. There were 12 of us. Cindy and Andrea were our wonderful guides. We visited 4 outstanding restaurants. The staff at each restaurant went above and beyond. We plan to go back to all of them knowing their history. We went on tours of each restaurant. We met some of the chefs and were treated like royalty at each stop! Food was made with love! Some of the guests are still talking about the food. We ALL had so much fun. Highly recommend this tour and bring your friends.
Foodie fun

5.00Cyndi helped plan an epic 70th birthday celebration for our friends. She worked with me on every detail for the evening. Cyndi and Andrea made sure that the needs our guests were met. Andrea pushed the wheelchair and Cyndi kept the event moving and made sure everyone was safe and happy. I will do this and any tour with Cyndi many more times. Can’t wait to plan our next adventure.
Highlight of our Ft. Lauderdale visit

5.00Luck of the draw - we got two guides, Cindy and Andrea - and they made the experience nothing short of phenomenal. Interweaving local historical knowledge between tasting spots carefully selected for their character, uniqueness, and historical significance, they curated an incredibly spent couple of hours. It's evident the guides love their jobs, and that translates to an all-around fun time for their patrons. If you're a fan of eating where the locals eat and possibly trying something you haven't had before, then this experience is for you.
Fun, Food, and Fabulous
