Traveller reviews
Our family love Emily ! She is the sweetest tour guide and the sweetest person! I will definitely book this tour again and ask for Emily as our tour guide. All of the food was delicious! Thank you for everything.
This was a wonderful tour. Each spot we visited was perfect and curated to be a delightful dining experience. For someone with mobility issues, each venue was close enough that it wasn’t a problem walking. My cane was sufficient and we had many seating opportunities. Our guide Emily was excellent. It was amazing to learn this is something she just started doing as she is very charming and knowledgeable. It was truly a pleasurable afternoon.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about some of the history of Fort Lauderdale and to try a variety of restaurants. It is a GREAT introduction to the city. We had an amazing day experiencing eight different restaurants. All very delicious and all very different.
This was our first foodie tour and now we will always make sure to do one in any new city we visit. What a great way to discover great places, food and people! Well chosen hidden gems, delightful culinary experiences, and a k pledges or and super friendly guide. This was the highlight of our trip!
This was a fantastic historical food tour one if the best I’ve been on- I’ve never seen these areas in Ft Lauderdale- the food was delicious I’ll be going back to the places we went for dinners and amazing drinks!!
Cyndi 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.
Cyndi 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!!
Great and authentic food in interesting restaurants in the historic FLL, complemented by lively and informative commentary by Cindy😎
