EXCELLENT Based on 248 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Tondee LVerified Fun way to try new foods and see parts of KC you may not typically see! I've been on this tour 3 times and had a fabulous experience every time! The first 2 were employee appreciation outings - we had tons of fun, learned a lot about Kansas City and was a great way to get to know some of my coworkers better. I enjoyed it so much, that I took my parents on a tour when they were in town this year and they also loved it! Highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Paul NVerified Excellent afternoon!! Food tours are such a wonderful way to learn a detailed history of the city you are visiting and enjoy sampling delicious food as you go. This tour included quality food at the venues we stopped in and great conversations too!Posted on Tripadvisor Susan GVerified Fantastic Rebecca was committed to us having a great time. Her organization of the tour as well as her ad libbing with some extra time was outstanding. Her knowledge of Kansas City history enhanced the overall experience. Then there was the food! We loved all of it. It was great to go to some out-of-the-way places that we had never visited, even as Kansas City residents. She gave us a teaser of her prohibition tour and we are looking for time to sign up for that one too. Overall, it was a great tour and we would recommend it to locals and visitors alike.Posted on Tripadvisor Dee TVerified Not tp be missed! This tour was amazing.
