"There were 9 of us on this tour on a Saturday. Fun people, great host, good pace and plenty to eat and drink. Everything was delicious and good variety of foods. Our 1st and 3rd stops we had wine and a margarita so our personalities were all enhanced. 3 hour tour not a lot of walking but lots of interesting trivia about early Palm Springs. We love doing foods tour on our vacations and this one didn’t disappoint."
– PJTASTETESTERS · Tripadvisor"Just had a wonderful 3 hour tour of downtown Palm Springs restaurants with our charming guide Arnie, an actor and very energetic octogenarian. So much food, even though there were only small tastes. I felt the tour was well-paced and high quality, noting real forks and cloth napkins everywhere. We got goodie bags and welcoming smiles everywhere. A great value. Do it!"
– Jeri G. · Tripadvisor"Ginny was a great tour host- we had a small group and never felt rushed, the pace was perfect for us- the food was indeed tasty and the background info gave us a good insight into the history of Palm Springs- we loved the olive oil shop ad of course how can you go wrong with candy? Plus the date shakes were lovely!"
– Anne R. · Tripadvisor"We took the tour on Dec. 5, 2019, and enjoyed it a lot. 7 stops along the tour, and our guide, Ginny, gave us some local history along the way. Very good guide, who took the time to learn our names! Come hungry, as the portions are good sized. Nicely spaced out too - 2 places to eat, then checked out the olive oil shop, so you could digest that last food. The last place for the chocolate cake - yummy!"
