I've lived in Madison since 2014, and somehow there are still so many places I've never explored…read more That's what inspired me to step outside my routine and become a tourist in my own city by joining a Madison Eats Food Tour bike tour--and I'm so glad I did! Our adventure began at Garver Feed Mill, where we picked up bikes and set off to discover Madison one bite at a time. What surprised me most was how much I learned about the city's history. Even after living here for more than a decade, I heard stories and facts about Madison that were completely new to me. The food stops were fantastic and showcased the diversity of Madison's local food scene: * Kosha Retreat - The kitchari and chai tea were incredibly comforting. The kitchari felt like a warm hug from grandma on a chilly day. * Roll Play - The spicy tteokkochi paired perfectly with the sweet peach lemonade. A delicious balance of heat and sweetness. * Buraka on Willy Street - The sampler plate was excellent, but the yuca fries stole the show. Easily some of the best I've ever had. * Starkweather Brewing - We enjoyed cauliflower wings, fried chickpeas, and a Helen Mule. The fresh-made sauces were absolutely delicious and elevated every bite. * Calliope Ice Cream - The aguapanela sorbet sounded unusual at first, but it was incredible. Think brown sugar lemonade in frozen form--refreshing, unique, and completely dairy-free. One of my favorite parts of the experience was being intentional about supporting local businesses. It's easy to get comfortable visiting the same places over and over, but this tour reminded me just how many amazing small businesses make Madison such a special city. Whether you're a longtime resident, new to town, or visiting for the weekend, I highly recommend this tour. It's a fun way to explore the city, learn local history, meet new people, and discover hidden gems you may have otherwise overlooked. This experience reminded me that sometimes the best adventures are waiting right in your own backyard. Othelia was the host and she did amazing!!!

Our tour guide, Emily, was super sweet, very knowledgeable about the area, and brought such a fun, upbeat energy that made the whole tour exciting. We loved hearing all the fun facts about the buildings we passed and the eateries we visited, which added so much to the experience. As out-of-staters, we never would have thought to explore Brady Street on our own, so it was really cool to discover a whole new part of the city while eating amazing food. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Devin's Galena Foodie Tour - Ugly Christmas Sweater edition…read morethis weekend! Great friends (with the "ugliest tree sweaters" in the attached photo) organized it for us, and it turned out to be one of the most fun and memorable experiences we've had! Devin was an outstanding host--knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Galena's food scene. The tour was perfectly paced, the food stops were excellent, and the holiday twist made it even better. The ugly sweater theme added so much energy and laughter, and Devin leaned into it in a way that made everyone feel relaxed and included. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere. We went with great friends, had a blast together, and also met wonderful new people along the way. It felt less like a "tour" and more like a festive day out with friends--old and new. If you're looking for a fun, social, and delicious way to experience Galena--especially around the holidays--this tour is a must. We would do it again in a heartbeat and can't recommend Devin and Galena Foodie Tours highly enough.

We went on a Honey & Mead tasting tour, and I'd give it 10/5 stars if I could. The food was SO…read moregood, and there was quite a bit of it. I've been on food tours where they give you a few bites of something - not here, this was a super generous amount of food. Everything in this tour is connected to honey somehow. Classic things you know your'e going to like (honey lemonade yes please!), but unique things I wouldn't have tried on my own too. Everything was delicious. There was a full wine tasting at one of the stops, with I think 5-6 different wine/alcohol samples and a super educational explanation by the owner. And it finished with a honey tasting led by Dry Creek Beekeeping. That was really fun - I never thought honey could taste so different! And of course a glass of mead. And last but definitely not least, Devin the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable both about food and the history of Galena. It was part history tour, part food tour, and he was an awesome guide in both. He had such a natural way in front of the group, and was nice to chat with along the way too. This is a must-do tour during your visit. It was our family's favorite thing we did on our trip. Come hungry!!

You could tell he has a lot of passion for the supernatural. I really liked him and his jokes. Wish it took you to some more places, or had some more facts backing up stories. All in all I liked it. A little pricy in my opinion though.

We waited... and waited... and waited. Ended up getting a refund through a credit card dispute. Complete con artists! 0/10. Wouldn't trust them to drive a shopping cart.
