Great food and interesting tour - My daughter recently moved to Ann Arbor and this tour was a great way to get an introduction to her new town together while I visited. She has recommended the tour to all of her new friends and coworkers. It was a good mix of restaurants, food samples, education about the local area, and interaction with the others on the tour. Highly recommended!

Great tour - Ani was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, informative, and humorous. We've been to Ann Arbor a number to times, but were introduced to a lot of things we never knew were there. I highly recommend this tour, it is well worth the money.

Such a great variety of taste experiences! - We were a group of 9 long-time friends and did the tour with Ani, who owns the tour company. He was friendly, knowledgeable, paced things well and was happy to give us plenty of history and info along the way. We have done other food tours in other cities and found this one to be particularly good. We had 7 different tastings, from Cuban to Italian to French to Mexican to Korean and beyond. The walking was pleasant, but the weather was great. The portions were very reasonable and all the food quality was top notch. Our taste buds were absolutely tantalized. We would highly recommend the tour.
