We've taken a lot of food tours in many cities and countries in the past & today's food tout did not disappoint! Great tour guides, delicious food, and some history sprinkled in. We had a fantastic time exploring St. Pete and trying out some interesting restaurants. Dracula's Legacy Wine Bar & Bistro was a hidden gem...the charcuterie was delicious! We were stuffed by the end of the tour, so be sure to come hungry! Thanks, Christine & Scott!

Average food options. We have experienced this in other Florida cities and this was not worth the cost. Tour guide was excellent, but the food sub par. I also resented the additional “art stop” that was actually a stop at an art store to sell their art. Do better.

The “sunshine city” has plenty of places to eat and drink - but we focused strictly downtown … our guide, Olivia did a good job filling in for the regular guide! First up, the RED MESA CANTINA served up street tacos and chips alongside Margaritas! DRACULA’s LEGACY is hidden gem and they have hundreds of beers & wine to share … we had a beautiful charcuterie spread there! BELLA BRAVA is an Italian restaurant that is known especially for their fresh pasta and homemade breads … the pizzas we enjoyed were a Margarita and a delicious Prosciutto & Burrata w/ basil pesto … mouth-watering! A quick look about in an art gallery OCEAN BLUE featuring some fun prints of Dr Seuss and the other amazing and talented artists such as Wyland & Nano! And we ended the evening with gelato, umm, yes … at PACIUGO … the hardest decision … which two flavors to choose!

Extremely Disappointed – Tour Guide Was a No-Show

We were unfortunately unable to go on the tour, and the experience was incredibly disappointing. We arrived 20 minutes early to the designated meeting spot, but no one ever showed up. After waiting an additional 20 minutes past the start time, we began messaging our guide but received no response. Eventually, we contacted Viator, who also attempted to reach the guide multiple times—without success. While we were refunded for the tour, we were not compensated for the time and effort we lost. We're only in the area for a short time, and we traveled a considerable distance specifically for this tour. Nearly 90 minutes after the scheduled start time, we finally received a message from someone named Christine stating: “My apologies; you should have been contacted—the tour didn't operate. As disclosed, tours require a minimum of 4 guests to operate. There were only 2 of you. I have been in meetings for the past two days; sorry that you were not notified in time.” This was completely unacceptable. We’ve done many food tours and have never encountered anything like this. The lack of communication and professionalism was staggering. If I could give this experience negative stars, I would. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration—book elsewhere. Let me know if you'd like to make it more emotional or more neutral depending on your intended tone or platform.
Awesome experience!

Olivia was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable about St Petersburg and enthusiastic about where we would be going . We really enjoyed our tour and based on the tour we we know where to take our friends and family when they visit (we live in Zephyrhills) The restaurants selected were varied and food superb - didn’t leave hungry. We have done foodie tours in other cities and this was among the best.
St Pete food and fun

Tour was fun and our tour guide Lauren was excellent with lots of knowledge about St Pete. Although the restaurants we went to were very nice I believe we could have made each stop a little shorter in order to get to more places. Also not sure getting pizza was what I had in mind when booking a food tour. A little more walking to off the beaten path restaurants might be good to squeeze in
Fun tour that could benefit from fewer pork products

We had an issue with the meeting location, but our tour guide, Lauren, found us! Once we started, we felt that we were in good hands. It was a small group, with people of differing ages and backgrounds, but we all got along and enjoyed each other’s company. We really likes the tacos, pizza, gelato and art gallery. The pork belly came in small pieces and was good. However, the sausage board was dry and not easily divided for the group: we had four links for 7 people. Perhaps something easier to split and not a second pork product would be more welcome.
Love St. Pete’s even more after the tour!

Our Guide was delightful. We fell in love with St Pete’s even more after the trip. The food and drink stops were incredible and well thought out. Don’t eat before you go!!!!
