Taste Of Downtown St. Petersburg: A Walking And Food Tour

Very disappointed. Tour guid was lovely, however we only visited 3 restaurants. All other food tours I have done had 6 stops.

Christine was very personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the food and learning about the history of Sarasota.

The guide was very knowledgeable about St Pete. Everything was well timed. Beach Drive is very vibrant. A nice informative walk between restaurants

Scott was an awesome guide, and the history we learned and food we ate was wonderful. Highly recommend!!

Very enjoyable and fun way to explore downtown Saint Petersburg. Scott was a very friendly and informative guide and we appreciated the recommendations he gave for this area and beyond. The pacing of the tour was comfortable, the food was delicious, and we liked the entire experience.

Scott was very friendly and knowledgeable about St. Petersburg. WE learned a lot as we walked around town as he shared plenty of history and interesting facts.

Our guide Scott was fantastic. We met the group in a cute courtyard, and journeyed out to several restaurants. We learned a lot about the history of St Pete on our walk , and got to try some delicious food. Bring your appetite - portions were great! We opted to order drinks that we thought paired w the food at each location - but there was plenty of water provided if you prefer not to spend any extra money . It is a walking tour, so be prepared to do a bit of walking , but there is plenty of time to rest at each stop. Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed.

The food was good and the guide did a nice job of adding to the experience but not overdoing it.

It was just the two of us and the tour guide so somewhat awkward. We are senior citizens and it was difficult to keep up with the tour guide’s fast walking pace. I even tripped on uneven sidewalk and fell. The food was marginal……tacos were good, charcuterie was boring and prosciutto pizza was cold. Definitely not worth the money.

There was just my husband and myself so it was kind of awkward. I wish they would have told us as we would have canceled. The guide was very pleasant and informative. Bus as we are senior citizens, it was difficult to keep pace with a much younger person…..I even tripped and fell on the walk. The food was just okay. The tacos were tasty. Charcuterie was boring and the prosciutto pizza was quite cold. Overall the experience was not worth the money.

Scott was great and we had a wonderful time!! Got to check out some cool spots off the Main Street that only a local would know. Highly recommend it!

The tour was an overall wonderful experience. The food was excellent, our fellow guests were so much fun and Scott, our guide, was knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure.

Nice walk around the city. Only part of group could hear what tour guide was saying. 3 food stops, and the portions were large.

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!

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.

We had Lauren as our guide. She was fantastic, knowledgeable and super easy to chat with! The food was awesome and great vibes all around. Would definitely recommend!

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.

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

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.

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!!!!

This tour is pretty disappointing. Guide was super sweet and friendly, but her knowledge was very limited. I always like getting lots of interesting history about the area, but it was easy to tell that her knowledge was poor. The food was decent, but quantity was poor. One of the stops was an art gallery, which felt like a sales opportunity. For what we paid, It did not meet expectations. Also hard to find the meeting point.

Each and every restaurant was a unique and tasty experience in itself. Lauren, our tour guide was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. The size of the group was perfect to connect with everyone. I highly recommend this excellent.

Lauren was an amazing tour guide. Great knowledge of St. Petersburg and its history. She was professional and fun at the same time, and the route was an easy walk through part of downtown. The food was absolutely delicious and there was a lot of it! You won’t leave hungry. Really enjoyed the tour and definitely recommend it if you are in the area. Great way to see some sites and sample great food.

Wonderful evening being squired around the arts area of St. Pete by Lauren. We made five stops, four of which were for wine tastings! At our first stop we had a flight of three! Great seafood, charcuterie board, Asian and Gelato. Was a grouping of seven of us total and we all waddled away happy! Lauren shared St. Pete's history, future and tidbits about all that we walked past. Good entertaining fun!

Jules was a lovely tour guide! Our tour was entertaining, educational, and consisted of some delicious food and wines!

Lovely tour of lots of landmarks and restaurants in downtown St. Pete. Jules was very personable and knowledgeable. Restauranteurs were nice too. Good food and plenty of it. It was 4 1/2 hours. Plenty of stops in air conditioning. Would do it again.

Loved the tour guide! She was very knowledgeable. She explained the history of the building, gave an explanation of how St Pete gif its name. The food was very good too

This food tour is seriously amazing! We have been to food tours all over the world and this was by far the best one!!! High end food and tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and gave us recommendations for fun things to do after the tour!! Highly recommend!!

We had a great time and the food was fabulous! There was a good amount of food and plenty to eat. Jules was awesome and was a great tour guide!

I gifted this to my parents for Christmas! They loved the experience, the food, the town and the tour guide! I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for something fun and out of the box!

The tour guide was very nice (Jules). We stayed too long at each place. We thought it would be 3.5 hours or less. The food was good. We saw some historic buildings. The open air post office was interesting.

I had expected to enjoy this taste trip but it ended up far exceeding my expectations! The walking tour included not only good samples from some very nice restaurants (and it’s plenty of food) but also some glimpses of historical and interesting information along the route. Tour guide Jules was great, taking time to point out and provide information about interesting landmarks along our restaurant route. Honestly, this tour exceeded my expectations. Definitely worth the money and the time!

A wonderful experience. Delicious food and drinks. Explore the city. Had an amazing tour guide Jewels. Highly recommend it! We stop at 4 different places. Seafood, Greek, Charcuterie, Wine, and Gelato!

This was the first time our tour guide had a group of her own. She did a great job. I would only suggest that she explain a little more history about where we were and not read from her phone as much as she did. She was pleasant and took great care of us. The stops were outstanding! Food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The wine was wonderful. It was a spectacular evening and one that I would like to do it agaikn.

Loved meeting new and interesting people, while sharing with them in the fun experience of getting to know St Petersburg through its excellent food scene.

This is the best food tour we’ve ever done! The food and drinks were amazing and our guide, Levi, the absolute best! We can’t wait to send our children to do this tour!

Lots of fun! The walking tour included history of the area, including little known facts and the restaurants selected had a nice variety - chocolate to meatballs to charcuterie! Looking forward to trying other tours!

Wow, this was a fantastic experience. My wife and I participated and had one of our best "date nights" ever. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area and of the food prepared. This was very relaxing and enjoyable. You end up the evening satisfied with the generous food portion, educated on the community, and having accomplished a nice walk. The venue selection and portions were fabulous. Were ready to bring friends....this is a classy act.

Excellent variety of venues and experiences! Loved the “kick-start” event that kicked off our St.Armands culinary journey. Enjoyed the endless selection of teas and spices at “The Spice and Tea Exchange “.......can’t wait to enjoy my roasted espresso sugar......yummy! The Ancient Olive was beyond expression: taste, creativity, and teachable knowledge. "I didn't know, what I didn't know or what I was missing"! I will do this again next time I visit Sarasota!
