Sarah was the perfect guide and a great ambassador for her hometown of Asheville. All of the food stops were delicious and the walking tour was informative. We would definitely do this tour again!
Sarah was a great guide. The restaurants and dishes she chose were fabulous. Highly recommend this tour.
We have been on food tours throughout the world, and by far this was one of the BEST! Stu is a phenomenal guide! The love he has for the city of Asheville & the all the restaurants shows through. We had such a wonderful selection of food. Come hungry - you will leave full & satisfied!
Sara was awesome. My husband and I loved everything about it. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend this tour. Not only was it a great food tour, our guide Stu was so knowledgeable about the area and related history. It was a lot if fun to boot! The food was amazing and all generous servings. Don't miss out on this great time in Asheville!
This food tour was so much fun! Stu was a great tour guide and the dishes we got to taste were delicious! It was fun to taste things that I wouldn't have ordered myself. I would highly recommend the Food Fan tour with Stu.
Sara was fantastic and the stops were all delicious! Can't wait to try the restaurants when I come back to town!
Touring with Stu was a blast. We went as a family, which included our g-kids 7 and 10 yo. The kids ate all of the delights that were presented — including the pork belly taco with pickled watermelon rind (White Duck). Everyone was so accommodating to them. We all learned a lot about the city and were very well fed by the end. This was our second time on an Asheville Food Tour.
We went on the Asheville Food Fan Tour on Sunday, June 21st. Our guide, Stu, was terrific! We visited 6 restaurants and the food and drinks were delicious. Stu knew a lot about the history and architecture in downtown Asheville. I would highly recommend!
Awesome Experience, Fantastic Tour Guide! Lots of Great Food and the Alcoholic Beverages were a plus! Great Value.
