Itinerary
Taste the flavors of South Florida as we get you off-the-beaten path and into locally owned restaurants. We'll get you started with a traditional Cuban guava and cheese pastry as you enjoy the waterfront views. That's what our food tour is all about...local flavors, local stories, local sites. You'll feel like you're walking around downtown West Palm Beach with a local who's taking you to their favorite restaurants and introducing you to fun chefs and restaurant owners along the way. Speaking of walking, you'll be walking a total of 1.5 miles over 2.5 hours, so expect to walk about 3 blocks between each restaurant. Along the way, we'll share some crazy stories from our past and we'll learn about the vibrant murals around town. FYI - we do sit down at all of the restaurants, and restrooms are available.
On the way to Pistache French Bistro, we'll walk thru our beautiful waterfront park, and we'll share a bit of history of our area. Pistache French Bistro is one of the oldest restaurants downtown, and we'll enjoy a traditional croque monsieur as we dine in a beautiful restaurant overlooking the waterfront park.
Salento Coffee is a favorite local coffee shop, and it's owned by a husband and wife team from Colombia. Jaime shows our guests how to make a particular type of Colombian coffee, and then we all share in a delicious Colombian tradition together.
It's time for tropical fruit show and tell, and you'll taste and learn about coconuts, tamarinds and key limes. Enjoy a coconut cutting demonstration that promises to be quite memorable. In fact, the next time you see a coconut, if you don't remember West Palm Beach, we'll be surprised. You'll finish your day with an authentic key lime pie, and just remember...key lime pie should never be green.
enjoy three of their most popular dishes paired with a refreshing cocktail.

This was hands down the BEST walking food tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and personable. The food was amazing with bigger than normal portions. 10/10.
Wow—“best walking food tour” is music to our ears! We’re especially thrilled to hear that we lived up to our reputation as USA Today’s #1 Food Tour in the Country. Great food, generous portions, and guides who know how to make the city come alive are exactly what we strive for. Thanks for spending part of your vacation with us and for the 10/10 review!

Big food portions? Check. Excellent food choices? Check. Fun guide? Check. Sounds like our kind of day! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring West Palm Beach with us and left with a full stomach and a few new local stories to share. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again on another tour soon!

Our tour guide Raheem was excellent and made our experience very interesting. The restaurant choices were top notch and the food was delicious.
We scored! Great guide, great food, and a great afternoon exploring downtown. Thank you for the kind words about Raheem and our restaurant partners. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with everyone involved. Hope to see you back for another delicious adventure soon!
We did the Downtown Market Tour. It was the last Saturday in May. It won't be available again until October. The tour was fantastic. It was from 9 - 11 am. Our guide, Raheem, was informative and just so much fun. We stopped at 14 different vendors for tastings and Raheem told us the personal story of each and every one. It is obvious that he is very proud of what the market brings to the city. The tour is a walking tour, where you are always at the front of the line for your personal tastings. Parking is free. The tour doesn't disappoint and gives great value for the price. We highly recommend it.
Thank you for another wonderful review! We always smile a little bigger when it’s from guests who have experienced all of our tours. Raheem will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He loves the GreenMarket almost as much as he loves sharing it with guests! We’re so glad you enjoyed another adventure with us, and we’ll look forward to seeing you again when GreenMarket season returns in October.
Great experience with a historical influence. Kelly was polite and answered all of our questions. We would highly recommend this tour.
A little history, a lot of great food, and a fun afternoon exploring West Palm Beach — sounds like the perfect combination! So glad Kelli helped make the experience such a memorable one.
The food tour was awesome! Out tour guide Rahemi was so fun and full of energy! The food was amazing and we couldn’t believe how much food we got! We left very full! We would highly recommend this food tour!
Come hungry — leave very full! We design our tours to be a true meal experience, not just a few bites here and there. So glad you loved the food, the energy, and the fun atmosphere along the way. Thanks for the recommendation!
A wonderful experience learning about the food, the history and the culture of the Palm Beach area. This is much more than a food tour. You experience Cuban, Columbia, French and Japanese food. All delicious. The tour guide is excellent. I highly recommend this tour.
So much more than food — exactly! Every bite and every restaurant is part of a bigger story, helping bring the neighborhood to life through its history, culture, and the people behind it. So glad you experienced that connection along the way!
Excellent afternoon with Raheem learning a little about the area’s history and sampling delicious food! Loved learning about how each establishment played their part in the culture of the area.
That’s exactly what a food tour is all about. Every bite and every restaurant is part of a bigger story — helping bring the neighborhood’s culture and history to life along the way. So glad you enjoyed tasting and learning your way through it!
Food was fantastic but the tour guide is what made this tour!! He was knowledgeable, engaging and very accommodating ! This is the 2nd time we have taken this exact tour and it did not disappoint!!
Second time and still a hit — we love to hear that! That consistency is what we aim for every single tour. Our guides really do make the experience come alive, and we’re so glad it delivered again. Hope we get to welcome you back for round three - and we have 3 other food tours you still need to experience!
