David's tour is thoughtfully designed, not just with the mix of food choices but also the pace - it moved from standing to sitting, and ended with a light walk to a spot with a restroom meeting my needs before I realized I had them. David is a great storyteller, weaving urban history, culinary insight, and personal history seamlessly; his love of his hometown of Portland is a salt bringing extra flavour out of every dish. I was the only person on my tour and was afraid it'd be awkward. It was not. The whole experience made me feel right at home. Highly recommend!

I really enjoy participating in food tours while traveling, so my girlfriend purchased this experience for my birthday in our current hometown of Portland. Our journey began at Pioneer Square, where we were warmly greeted by our guide, David. From the very start, David's engaging introduction set the tone for an unforgettable culinary adventure. Throughout the tour, we visited five different spots, each offering a unique gastronomic experience. What impressed me the most was the variety of locations on the itinerary, as I had only been to one of them before. David's expertise in food and his deep knowledge of Portland added an extra layer of enjoyment to the tour. As someone with a hearty appetite, I always worry about getting enough to eat during these tours. However, I can confidently say that I left the tour feeling completely satisfied. If you're visiting Portland or even if you're a local, I highly recommend this exceptional food tour. It's not only a chance to indulge in delicious cuisine but also an opportunity to learn something new about this vibrant city.
