We met Laura at Moxy’s coffee shop and we had a quick overview of the tour. Enjoyed all the stops and the information on places not on the tour. I tried food I never would have tried and was so full at stop #5 I could hardly eat any more food at the next few shops! Learned a lot about the area, and the food, and how the city brought the area back to life. Well worth the expense. Laura was amazing as a guide.

The food tour of Findlay Market was outstanding! We sampled food from about 9 different businesses. We heard several of the business owners talk about their experiences getting started. I highly recommend this tour; it is a great mix of food, history, and details about up and coming food businesses.

This food walking tour is an absolute gem—I’ve done it twice and would happily go again! It’s the perfect blend of local history, delicious bites, and a fun way to explore the city. The guide does a fantastic job weaving in stories and context, making each stop feel meaningful and memorable. Be warned: there is a lot of food. Seriously, pace yourself! Every stop offers something tasty and unique, and by the end, you’ll be full in the best way. It’s an incredible value for the price—definitely one of the best bangs for your buck when it comes to tours. Whether you're visiting or just looking to rediscover your own city, this is a fantastic way to spend the day. Ideal for couples or small groups of close friends who want to eat well, learn something new, and share a few laughs along the way.
