A great afternoon! - First, I wasn’t expecting so much history education during this tour, so it was like two tours rolled into one! Sprinkles is a Mobile native so she blessed us with so much local knowledge and folklore. What a treat! And everything we ate was delicious. We were so full by the end. We added the cocktails and I was worried it may be some watered down version of their cheapest drinks, but no, the 3 drinks given were their feature drinks and well done.

Excellent food, grand views, and fascinating historic Mobile news - Our guided evening tour by Miss Bella was fabulous. We ate delicious food, and learned fascinating facts about old Mobile as we strolled with new friends. The evening was worth every penny and more. I would highly recommend this for any out-of-town guest as well as locals who want to be thoroughly entertained by the excellent food, views, and historic news Mobile has to offer.

Excellent food and facts tour! - Having previously done the food tour in Fairhope (AL), the bar was set pretty high! Our tour guide in Mobile was Lee Hanks, and he did not disappoint! Excellent guide that even took us to some non-food spots along the way and knew hundreds of years of Mobile history and fun facts! We stopped at 7 different places for food, including 2 that were “snackipoo” stops, and all were amazing! I tried foods I have hated for years and found I didn’t hate them after all, including fried green tomatoes and oysters! We had the cocktail package, but I think the tour would be amazing either way! A lot of bang for the buck and highly recommend this tour! Great for visitors or even newer residents who want to learn about the area. If I could give the tour and Lee 6 stars out of 5, I would!!

Experience Mobile's Best Eats - What a great way to sample the best of Mobile's downtown restaurant scene. Our group had tourists from near and far, as well as those who had just moved to the area. The guide was a true Mobile local, whose depth of knowledge and connection to the area and its history made the tour come alive. I appreciated how the tour included establishments that have been part of the Mobile landscape for decades and some newer trendier ventures. My capacity for consuming large quantities of food is limited, so I was worried that by the end I would be too stuffed and food would go to waste, but the portion sizes throughout were perfect, and you were allowed to take to go boxes if needed. A note to those who book through Trip Advisor is that there are certain add-ons that are available on the company's website that do not show up on this one. Finally, we had a one-year-old in a stroller with us, and he was welcomed by the group, the guide, and the restaurants, making for a great experience.

Amazing! - This tour is the BEST way to see the city of Mobile! It has the perfect combination of amazing food, history, and fellowship. Lee Hanks makes this tour complete. He has a kind and welcoming smile, shows consideration of his guests, and gives a overall "friend for life" vibe when you meet. He is so helpful, he even paused the tour to help a couple lost find their destination. I give this experiences five stars! I am planning on experiencing a different food tour on my next visit to Mobile and I plan to request Lee as our guide!
