Zachary Greene reached out to me via linked in to find ways to promote Bite of Baltimore in a different way. I figured the best way to help him was to get first hand experience of the tour, so I booked a Friday afternoon tour for my team. Can I just say what an awesome time we had? We are all fairly local folks but we learned so much and ate amazing food. I appreciate the level of service Zachary provided including helping to fit this in my budget. All communication was prompt and easy to understand. The payment process was simple. Instructions for where to meet and questions about food allergies or other issues were appreciated. Even in the rain, this was just so much fun. We started at the Maryland Center for History and Culture. As a museum junkie, I loved that we started with a quick tour through Baltimore history! And we got to pop into the Jim Henson exhibit. They have the Labyrinth Dress!! After that we started walking. Did you know the Ouija board was created in Baltimore?? I did not. We walked into the Enoch Pratt Library and poked our head into the Peabody. And we did a quick tour of the Washington Monument. I did not know you could go inside it for free. The food part was even better! Started at Tio Pepe's which was delicious and such a cool building. After more walking we stopped that Helmund for more food. Our final stop was at Topside for a cocktail and dessert. Zero complaints. I've been telling folks about this experience because it was so much fun. I look forward to doing the other tours. read more

Fantastic tour- highly recommend. First, we had a last minute cancellation with someone in our party who was sick and they were super nice and gracious in refunding for the price of her ticket- we appreciated that so much. Second- Donna Ann was fantastic- LOVED her- her energy and sense of humor were infectious. The tour was a nice mix of food and history and a great way to spend an afternoon if you're in Baltimore! You definitely won't need to eat dinner after going on this tour - it's a good amount of food. read more

Great tour! Loved learning about the rich history of Fell's point and eating delicious food. Definitely come hungry. We had fabulous tour guides. Highly recommend this tour if you're in Baltimore, want to try different restaurants, and get a history lesson at the same time. read more

Excellent food tour, mixed in with some history of Fells Point, a pivotal part of the US victory during the War of 1812. I'm not sure if the tour always incorporates the same restaurants, but the 4 we visited were all delicious. We were met at a park In Fells Point by Zach, who gave us a rundown of the afternoon's activities and said our guide, Simone, would be meeting us at the first restaurant. Simone was outstanding, very knowledgeable and personable, great charisma. It's easy to tell she enjoys what she is doing, and anyone who gets her as their guide is very fortunate. First stop was Chilango, a Mexican restaurant/tequila bar. Street taco was excellent, and guacamole some of the best I've had. Drinks were also very good. Next was The Point, a popular place for seafood and pub fare, where we had the house rum punch and were served a sampler size crab cake and steamed vegetables. Crab cake was very good, but not the best Baltimore has to offer. Our next stop was to Broadway Market and Thai Street, one of the booths inside the market. Some chicken drunken noodles were very tasty, as well as a sample of one of their teas. Finally we ended up at Pitango Bakery where we were given a selection of pastries and a charcuterie selection. The pastries were very European style, sweet but not laden with sugar and icing like many American places. They have great coffee, too. The tour is highly recommended and a great way to spend an afternoon. read more

Zach and his team do a fantastic job of curating a fun, thoughtful and flavorful tour that our group enjoyed tremendously. Zach has what amounts to a master's degree in Fells Point history, but he doesn't hit you over the head with it. He presents a solid foundation and welcomes questions, which allows guests to take the tour in the direction they want. He also does a great job of picking a mix of noteworthy and up and coming restaurants in the neighborhood. The restaurants allowed us to sample traditional Baltimore cuisine (crab cakes, of course), along with an eclectic mix of Thai, Mexican and Italian favorites from Fells Point that we all enjoyed. We highly recommend! read more

I just moved to Maryland from Brooklyn for work and wanted to explore Baltimore one weekend and learn about some of the history of the area, since I had never been there before. However, I quickly discovered that Baltimore does not have a lot of traditional walking tour options available. Which is how I discovered this tour. For someone like me, this tour was a bit on the expensive side. I set a certain amount in my budgeting for going out and exploring on the weekend each month. However, I figured that this was the best way to experience Baltimore history and there was also food, which was a plus. After going on this Fell's Point tour, I highly recommend it. For those who want to make a day of experiencing the city: I recommend seeing the aquarium as well (which was expensive and has no discounts, but very, very beautiful) and then heading over. You honestly only need an hour for the aquarium. I learned that Baltimore Harbor is very much not like NYC and it has very little shading. Also, the museums are scattered extremely far from each other. You will get sunburnt easily! Take sunscreen and apply often!!! The tour: The meet up spot was easy to find. For anyone else who has no clue what a "pagoda" is for the meet up point, it's like a gazebo. There was a mix-up the afternoon of our tour. The tour manager was able to quickly fix it, however. He actually gave us the tour himself. We visited 4 different spots with different ethnic food. He also showed us spots of historical significance in the area and gave us a great historical background of Fell's Point. I'm not going to spoil that here for you. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. A note before attending: I didn't eat lunch that day because another post had stated that the portions were large. Also, I couldn't find any place for a quick grab-and-go as I was exploring the city (I feel very uncomfortable eating alone in a restaurant as a single woman). Do not make this mistake!!! Eat lunch before you head out! The food: The food was very good. I ate and enjoyed everything. You meet at 3 PM. So, this is effectively an early dinner. 1st stop -- Mexican food. We had a beef taco that was not spicy with a small appetizer that tasted like lightly fried corn bread. It was very yummy! We got plenty of water to drink as well as chips and guacamole. 2nd stop -- Traditional Baltimore. We had a fresh fruit salad along with a crab cake and broccoli. The crab cake was clean and fresh. It was very good. I'm Sicilian-American; so, I eat a lot of fish. This was very good crab. We got bottles of water here as well as a choice of alcoholic beverage. 3rd stop -- Thai. We stopped at this small food hall next. We got a container with rice, some vegetables, and a mixture of chicken, beef, and one shrimp. I don't like shrimp, but luckily the taste of shrimp did not permeate throughout the dish. It was not spicy and it had a sweet-savory sauce. We also had Thai tea. Very tasty. 4th stop -- Dessert. At the last stop, we were allowed to order a coffee of our choice and we shared a dessert platter. I only like chocolate desserts and I was glad to see that there were chocolate chip cookies there. I ordered a Dirty Chai Tea. This place was ok. The best part of it was the drink. I definitely recommend this tour for your solo or group travels. Due to the lack of shading in the Baltimore Harbor area, I recommend visiting on a cloudy day or sometime not in the summer if possible so as to not get sunburned. It's a long tour but there's not a lot of walking involved for those who are worried. read more

We had an amazing food tour when we had family in town for the holidays. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about our wonderful city and the owner was very accommodating to our preferences! Highly recommend! read more

What a great way to begin our visit to baltimore. We have been on food tours in several cities and this one comes in as the best. Food choices were delicious and varied. And the knowledge of our guide was amazing. I feel like we learned so much. I highly recommend! read more

Zack and Sean showed us a great time in Fells Point last Saturday. If you're looking for an easy going tour packed with yummy food and a touch of Baltimore history, this is for you! It included 5 stops: 1 with apps, 2 with entrees, 1 with a cocktail, and 1 with dessert (4 of which also serve alcohol). It took us about 3.5-4 hours and we never strayed very far from Fells so no need to worry about walking far. We had a group of about 20 with 3 different parties and everyone had a blast. Our first stop was Modern Cook Shop in the historic district right by the Harbor in a really cool warehouse style building. It had a bar, café, restaurant, AND market. We had a giant cheese and charcuterie board for the group which was delicious. After hearing a little about the Fells family for whom the neighborhood is named after, we stopped at The Point for a Maryland staple (and my personal favorite) crab cakes!! They were honestly amazing, and I have never had crab cakes with such large pieces of crab meat. Great Maryland and Delaware craft beers here too! After walking by some of the historic houses in the neighbourhood, we moved to Hungry Andy's, which was a cute lil shop for some pit beef sandwiches. This was one of the best because the owner came out and talked to us about the long history of barbeque in Baltimore. Not to mention the food was delish. Our 4th stop was Rye, an intimate cocktail bar known for their modern twists to classic drinks. We were all served old fashions which I'm typically scared of but thought they were great!! I realize its probably hard for a big group, but a nice option for the tour would be 2 or 3 drinks to choose from. After learning about Fort McHenry and some more recent changes to the Harbor, we made our last stop at Bond Street Social for dessert (and amazing drink specials...$5 wines!) for a 3 piece sampler. The lava cake was the best part of the whole day I could have eaten 10. Overall it was a great way to spend the day in the city. It was so relaxing, and Zack and Sean made sure at each stop that we were having fun. They're locals who really love the area (and its food!) and want to share that with visitors or those who want to learn more about Fells. I'd recommend this to anyone! read more

Come hungry for both food and history! Our tour guide Zack was absolutely wonderful! We had an incredible time on our tour, and this was on a stormy day, no less! Zack was incredibly knowledgeable about Baltimore and Fell's Point, in particular, so this was a wonderful history lesson about the town. And of course, the food and restaurants he chose to showcase were nothing less than amazing! It was a good variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Thai, European charcuterie, and of course a stop at a local restaurant that had amazing crab cakes and salads! We would gladly recommend this to anyone! read more

We had a great fun afternoon. Our tourguide Donna was amazing, her passion for the city and her guests was perfect, the 3.5 hours went by like it was 15 minutes. All of the food stops were absolutely excellent, and the restaurants were waiting for us. I highly recommend this tour company. A lovely afternoon spent with nice folks and great samples of food. read more

Seth is highly recommended. So much enthusiasm and shared a wealth of knowledge during this food tour. He made this tour most enjoyable with his great personality. A job well done Seth. read more

This was an amazing food tour, and I have been on many of them. Our tour guide, Donna was informative and fun! Warning--- definitely make sure you are hungry because the portions are large for a food tour. The food was great and the information was terrific ! read more

Disclaimer: I'm a(n adopted) Baltimore local, and know Fell's Point well, so I can't review Bite of Baltimore looking through the eyes of a visitor like the majority of their clientele. On the flipside, perhaps knowing a little of the history of the area and a lot of the food makes me a harsher critic? My parents were in town visiting, so we signed up for the Fell's Point tour. As a walking tour, it's obviously worth being conscious of the weather and general outside conditions. There isn't a lot of actual walking (Fell's Point is pretty small), but you will be outside for a reasonable chunk of time, and the streets of Fell's are picturesque and ever-so-slightly treacherous for their cobblestones. As with any typical food tour, there are two main components to the tour. The history component was delivered to us by Zack, who also runs the company. Zack has been a tour guide in Baltimore for over a decade, and his love for the job shows. He is funny and engaging as he covers everything from the founding of the neighborhood (and Baltimore) to the building that stood in as Meg Ryan's home in Sleepless in Seattle. Even knowing the area, I came away with new knowledge. Secondly, the food. Come hungry! We stopped in at five places - be aware that these intend to sample what is on offer in the neighborhood, rather than deliver a specifically 'Baltimore' food experience. After a brief introduction, we stopped off at Pitango, a recently expanded cafe right on the water. This was my personal food highlight, where we ate an antipasto buffet, including a taste of their specialty Parma ham. The second stop was The Point for the most local of our dishes - a Maryland crabcake. I'm generally a little ambivalent about The Point outside of their excellent brunch, and my feeling was the same today: the crabcake was tasty, but an accompanying dark chocolate and raspberry infused Jameson (their speciality; purchased separately) was only ok. Up next was a stop in the newly renovated Broadway Market, where small local vendors offer stalls. We were served an excellent (and spicy) red chicken curry alongside a really delicious Thai iced tea from Thai Street. Drinks at Rye cocktail bar were next - a glass of their Pimm's Cup, which is always served on draft there. We finished at Bond Street Social for dessert and a second cocktail (this time, a ginger lemon mule). I got lucky with my dessert - the chocolate lava cake was actually lava-y in the middle, but not everyone at the table had the same fortune. The accompanying strawberry creme brulee was a bigger hit. A final note on the food: other than Pitango, our group of eleven was served family-style at each location, so be prepared to make new friends with your tour group! In addition to the disclaimer up front, this was my first food tour, so I can't rank it in comparison. However, based on this experience I will now intend to book on other food tours in new cities - it's an excellent way to learn about a new place while getting a decent meal - and will definitely be inviting my future guests along to Bite of Baltimore tours in future. Highly recommended! read more

Awesome food and Zack was super nice and knowledgeable! Can't wait to return in the spring read more

Erich and the rest of their team were very nice but unfortunately this was not a good food tour. We have been on many food tours and this one has nothing special or interesting. At one place we were served plain sliders and fries you could get anywhere. The dessert place was really bad with no air conditioning on a 90 degree day. The crab cakes at the point was the only Baltimore related food which was very good. I really wanted to like them but this is not a good tour unfortunately. read more

Great tour and guide, we were on this for 3.5 hours, but did does not feel like it. it was very enjoyable and interesting. The food was great also. I recommend this tour! read more

We had a great time with our family on this tour. We had four kids with us and the host was very accommodating. The food was wonderful and a good sample of the town. I lived in Fells Point for 7 years and learned some cool new facts I never knew. read more

Had a great time on the Fells Point tour with my parents, learned a lot and would gladly do it again despite the cold and rainy weather!

Tour guide turned out to be quite entertaining. Tried some food and drink I otherwise wouldn't have and everything was outstanding! Great cocktails as well. The only thing that dampened the day was the 40 degree steady rain. The guide was kind enough to do the majority of talking while inside for the last couple off stops, at our request. We were lucky to be paired up with a really fun group which made the experience even more enjoyable. read more

This was a great experience! It was fun to learn I bit about Fells Point but it wasn't overly heavy on information. The experience was light and fun and a great way to meet new people. Pit beef sandwich was great, crab cake was great, and we were able to get tips on where to go next over the weekend (like where to try old bay ice cream, etc). We went in to the tour really hungry which we won't do next time bc it takes a little while to get a satiated feeling, that being said- you can always order supplemental dishes at any of the restaurants (should have done this). The couple we met said the portions were much bigger than the other 2 food tours they'd done though! We were full by the end. It wasn't much walking, maybe a mile. Fells point is beautifully lit at night! And right on the water! read more

Really fun experience. We ended up with a good group and went to 3 "institutional" restaurants that were some of the city's architectural features and one "hip" restaurant in a food court. We were VERY full. My only thought was we could have fit more of a mix of new restaurants by eating quicker and lighter at most of the others but it was a nice mix of history, food, and art/architecture. read more

Zack and Jenny are engaging and I had a great time with a group of friends. We went to 5 different spots over a course of 3 hours and at each spot we had a bite to eat. (This is similar to a progressive dinner of sorts). While on the tour we were peppered with facts about the fells point area and details regarding the area. Wish I could make it to the desert spot but having been through 4 out of the 5 areas, and having been to the 5th place previously I knew that Zack and Jenny wouldn't steer us wrong. Highlights were spots that we regularly traveled by but didn't stop in such as Hungry Andy's and the bits of details about fells point that Zack talked about. Having talked to Zack about his tour, he mentions that if a group wishes to focus on certain things such as spots to get good appetizers or a wine tour or more upscale dining he could potentially accommodate -- you would just need to contact him and discuss. There may be an upcharge depending on what your preference is though. read more

This tour was so neat! Had an awesome time. We had so much fun and Kevin was AWESOME [and I'm singing the word awesome]! Such a nice tour. I have been in Baltimore almost two years and never had I been on a tour at all here but last night was just awesome. I highly recommend this tour if you haven't been yet. So cool! read more

The only place that was willing to take a same-day reservation for 1. Our guide was knowledgeable and was obviously in love with the neighborhood. There was the perfect balance of historical facts and amazing food. Walked away learning a ton and completely full on high-end food and cocktails. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Zack. He was charming and sweet, and he chose each stop in Fells Point with a great appreciation of adventure, scrumptiousness, history, fun, nostalgia, and a great sense of humor. We highly recommend taking this tour. These folks are committed to building their business by sharing a phenomenal experience with their patrons. They really go all out and you feel really appreciated. Just book it. You'll be very happy you did! read more

Awesome food, awesome historical stories about B-more from Zack. Will definitely use this tour again for our next trip to Baltimore. I will even start to use services like this in different cities for vacations as long as they are as good as this company. I would like a stroller for after the last stop as it was getting difficult to walk after stuffing my face with such delicious food. Great experience! read more

This tour was extremely engaging (and delicious!). I had a great time walking around Fells Point with our guides Zack and Jenny. The tour was infused with some history of Fells Point. As a local to the area, I was very impressed by the food and discovered some places (or some dishes) that I hadn't already tried. Definitely a great tour that I would recommend for non-locals and locals alike. Would be a great group activity (for bachelor or bachelorette parties or the like). read more

Great tour!! jack was an amazing guide! Super friendly and knowledgeable!! Highly recommend!!!
