Evie was delightful! She has the perfect bubbly personality for a tour guide! We had a great time, had good food and learned a bit about Punta Gorda. It was a great time for a great price!

OMGosh! What a sweet review! Thank you, Peggy, for your kind comments about the food, the story-telling, and the affordable price of this downtown experience! We'll be sure to share it with our restaurant partners.

Evie was great! Fantastic food and experience in general. And great way to meet people who are new to the area (all of us were recent transplants). Be sure to wear good walking shoes.

So glad you felt our passion for history and our love of local family-owned restaurants. Great tip about the shoes! We once had two ladies do the entire tour in high heels!!! But we don't recommend it! We appreciate that you noted the reasonable cost of this three-hour downtown experience! It was so nice of you to take the time to write this sweet review! Thank you Joanne!

Excellent tour guide. We learned a lot of local history and explored local businesses. Lots of walking but excellent food samplings. We had a great time. We would recommend this tour for those able to walk and not little children.

Perfect summary. We walk about a mile and a half, with several stops for sightseeing and food samples. Agreed, small children would not find it as interesting as adults! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a very helpful Trip Advisor review!

I went with a women’s club from a senior community and we all had a wonderful time. Evie worked with me to make certain that everyone on both walking food tours would be happily fed, and accommodated with both dietary needs and length of the walk. We expected good food and there was plenty of that. Our group enjoyed Italian, Mexican, seafood, and ice cream. The group that stayed downtown also had wonderful reviews of their food choices. A wonderful day for us all with not only tasty foods but guides that love sharing the history and charm of Punta Gorda, FL. I highly recommend doing this tour. A plus for me was the chance to walk with a different friend on each leg of the tour as well as mixing up your dining partners at each restaurant. Thank you Evie and Steve…

It was a challenge to accommodate so many people; we had to run two separate tours at the same time! The Caloosa Chicks were a fun group and we enjoyed the day. Our restaurant partners worked very hard to make your tour memorable; we all appreciate the kind words. If you tour again, we hope you'll let us know what more we could do to earn a five-star review next time! Thank you for the nice review.

If you've visiting Punta Gorda, or if you live here like I have (for 22 years), don't miss this one. Even if you think you know all there is to know about the city we call "City of Unity," you don't...until you take Eve's tours. No only does she cover the history of the city, but she also points out places there have been paranormal activities. So beside enjoying our nightlife and entertainment, please take time out one evening to take a walking tour of the city. (Slow pace, and there are stops along the way.)…

Thank you for the kind words! It was a joy to tour with you because you asked questions and were involved in the stories. As I say, walking tours are like performance art and everybody plays their role. You were a stand out!
