Since it was a cold, snowy day my husband and I were the only ones on the tour with our great guide Harold-and that made it so personal. We went to several shops and had tastings of local flavors, all the while learning the history of Old Portland. The next day we went back to several stops to further chat... More

Interesting information about chocolate and history of Portland. A bit skimpy on number of samplings. More

First time to Maine gave us and overview and history of Portland. We visited a deli and tasted cheese, chocolate shop for woopi pies, bakery, spice shop for oil and spices, fish market for smoked fish, brewery and much more. The entire tour took about 2 hours and we had a great guide. More

Our tour guide was very well informed. Not only did he tell us all about the food of Portland, he gave us a great overview of the history of Portland as well. He pointed out great places to eat and great places to visit. I would highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Portland's best foodie spots but also... More

I have been on a couple of other food tours in different cities. When I planned a trip to Portland I discovered that they had a food tour definetly wanted to take it. The tour itself was good. We got a lot of good information about Portland and the food that we were eating. My main issue with the tour... More

Our first trip to Portland and we booked a day ahead for the foodie walking tour. We were lucky to have a small group (6 people) and our guide, Randy, was just excellent. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and personable. The sites we visited were different and all had something special to sample--vinegars, mead, jams, cheese, seafood, chocolates and more sweets,...

"Jessica is GREAT!" (do I get a discount?) I took the Portland Chocolate Tour with Maine Foodie Tours. (I understand there is one in Freeport as well.) It was so different than other chocolate tours I have done in other cities. We tried truffles, bars, the "Maine State Treat", even balsamic and tea! The final stop included tasting a sparkling...

I recently took the chocolate tour in Portland with a couple of friends who were visiting from out of town. We were very impressed with the tour guide and her knowledge of the city. The shops that we visited were very impressive. The guide and shop owners were very attentive and answered any questions that we had. The various chocolate... More

So.. this is a situation where I definitely think the tour guide makes all the difference. Let me start out by saying that we took advantage of the livingsocial deal (or maybe it was Groupon I honestly don't remember which) so the tour was packed. We heard one person say they had been on one of these back in the... More

What a FUN time my husband and I had on the Maine Foodie Tour. The weather was rainy but it did not dampen the spirits of our super knowledgeable tour guide. Plus the locations we visited were generally really happy to see us and told us about their passions for working with chocolate and making truffles to buying cheese in... More
