Spent 3 hours on a downtown Madison WI food and Capital tour. Otehlia was a fun, knowledgeable, and high energy hostess. We sampled some fun food and brew at a couple downtown venues. We enjoyed our time touring the beautiful Wisconsin State capital. Would recommend taking it in, she also explains some of the local buildings history and architecture.

Absolute must for anyone - foodie or casual visitor- to experience the Madison food scene! Shona was our tour guide and made our weekend trip memorable and fun. Knowledgeable about the Madison food scene as well as history of the city, you’re sure to learn a lot of hidden gems & fun facts about Madison no matter how well you know the area! every stop gave very generous samples. Madison Eats tours is a very cost effective way to get a taste for the Madison foodie culture & scene; strongly recommend to anyone in the area whether it’s a short weekend trip or a longtime stay!

Arrive hungry! Very informative tour and tasty! Bart, our personal tour guide, provided us with a fun afternoon. The food stops: mexican taco w/margarita sample, thai dishes w/refreshing ginger drink, walnut burger (I'm a huge meat eater and it was surprisingly good) & chips w/beer shooter, chocolate truffles, candied pecans, and ice-cream were delish! We bought many truffles and tins of pecans! Bart also showed us a mansion nearby with history. Different outing for us, but it was fun, especially with Bart!

Wonderful tour with Amanda. We really appreciated all of the background information she provided as we rode from location to location. The restaurant selections were top notch. We were traveling from out of town but we also had locals on our tour who seemed equally impressed. Glad we planned this tour early on our trip as Amanda made a lot of helpful restaurant recommendations that we’re still enjoying. The ride itself was easy as the bikes do all of the work and were easy to operate.

Madison Eats Food Tours is a great way to familiarize yourself with and better understand the city of Madison, WI. This is a great experience for everyone, no matter if you're only dropping by for a few days or have lived in Madison for a while. There's always something new to learn and experience. There was a nice selection of delicious food. Plan on not eating before the tour (trust me).
Our tour guide Bart did an amazing job! As a former history teacher, he did an incredible job explaining some of Madison's history and presenting interesting/fun facts.

Our group of 4 rode the BBike tour with several food stops. We all really enjoyed the tour, and even Madison veterans were surprised at what they didn’t know. The electric assist bikes made it very rideable for people who haven’t done much biking. They were easy to learn and ride and hills were very mild to navigate. The food samples were all very good, and Otelhia was a great guide who is passionate about her city and it’s food. Bart was with us too as a trainee…. All in all it was a fun 3 hour tour and we were all satisfied. Come hungry!

This was our 1st leisure trip to Madison and we always enjoy walking tours especially those that include food, drink and local information. Madison Eats Capitol Square Downtown Tour was a perfect fit for us. Shona was our guide and she was very engaging, personable, informative and accommodating. She got my wife (who can’t eat fried food) a very nice small salad at one stop. The Capitol Square was a bit of a challenge due to the Ironman race being run, but Shona expertly moved us around and kept things lively. The tour of the Capital was very interesting. All good and drink was great.

Thank you for visiting and joining us for a tour. I'm glad that you got to experience the vibrancy that is Madison in the summer and that Shona was able to navigate that busy day with you so you could enjoy the food, drink and tour. I hope we can host you again soon!
Best wishes,

Food tours are in general a great way to get to know an area. This one did not disappoint we were able to taste some great Madison originals as well as learn about the city!
Highly recommend. Plenty of food and easy walking. Levi was our tour guide and he has amazing knowledge of the area.

Had a wonderful afternoon, with Levi as our tour guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and created a memorable experience for us. All of our stops provided delicious food, and we were definitely full by the end of the tour. Our group had 2 meat eaters and 2 vegetarians, and all stops were very accommodating. Three of the stops served main course items (each with an alcoholic drink included) along with a chocolatier, a candied nuts store and an ice cream stop to top it off. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who finds themselves in the Madison area.

This was our first trip to Madison and the Madison Eats Tour was a great way to sample delicious local favorites and see the beautiful Wisconsin State Capitol Building. The tour was 3 hours but did not seem that long. The food was AMAZING with generous amounts to taste test (we were stuffed). Getting to hear about Madison's history along the way was interesting. Our tour guide, Hannah, was engaging and catered to all our needs during the tour. Thanks for a great time!

Hi, my wife is a vegetarian and gluten free. Will she have items to eat on the tour?
Otehlia C

Hi! Thanks for your questions. Yes, we can accommodate both of those restrictions on our Willy Street tour and our Atwood tour. It is more difficult to accommodate the gluten-free restriction on our downtown tour, but we can definitely offer vegetarian options. Also, we cannot accommodate celiac.
Thank you for your interest! Let me know if I can help with anything else. - Otehlia, owner, Madison Eats Food Tours

Hello! I offer a few different "standard" tours. An Atwood neighborhood lunch tour, Atwood dinner tour (Brew and Chew), which includes a micro brewery tour and beer sample, a food cart tour (no alcoholic beverages) and a B-cycle tour. Though most tours will include one alcoholic beverage sample, it is only guaranteed on the Atwood Brew and Chew tour. Also, the brewery tour is only during the evening Atwood Brew and Chew tour. Most tours are about 3 hours, though the food cart tour is a shorter lunch time tour around the Capitol square (1.5 hours). The costs run from $30 (food cart) to $69 (B-cycle). I also can arrange a private culinary tour, but depending on your needs and group size the price would vary. There are more details on my website. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions! You can call me as well at 608-628-8927 to discuss any other questions. Thank you, Otehlia
