Our guide Carolyn was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun! The food was surprisingly high quality, much better than we were expecting. A great way to see Annapolis! |

I'm a sucker for walking tours and have been on several food tours in the US and Europe. This was my least favorite to date. The guide was very nice and did a great job putting everyone at ease, but the historical discussion was disjointed and not nearly as interesting or colorful as other historical walking tours I've been on, including an architectural tour of Annapolis. The organizers neglected to call ahead to one of the restaurants, so when we arrived the food had not been prepared and the chef refused to serve us--very bad form for a food tour. Also, the portions were the smallest that I have encountered to date on a food/walking tour. |

This was a great tour with loads of seafood and wonderful local Annapolis cuisine. I learned some interesting facts about the city and made some friends along the way. I would reccomend this tour with out a doubt. Thanks Jillian for a great tour! |

Too much info about colonial times, which was not specific to Annapolis or the local restaurants. It was obvious the tour guide had another job giving colonial tours. As a result, the local aspects and the actual tasting was rushed. |

Great tour but not for kids

We enjoyed the history interwoven with the food tasting portion of the tour. There was a variety of different foods symbolizing the town of Annapolis. Everyone was friendly and informative. BIG DRAWBACK! I would not bring children unless you are prepared for inappropriate language and sexual innuendos during the guide's speech. They give different "saying/toasts" during the walk that contain swear words and sexual references are made throughout the tour. We were disappointed in that aspect as we have been on many food and history tours as a family and have not encountered that issue. At the very least, there should be some reference to the content of the tour by the website of Capital City Colonials to allow parents to make the judgment call. |

Mildly fun but not worth the money

The information on the tour was fun. The guide was very informative about the historical significance of almost every house we saw on the tour. The disappointing part was the food. You get maybe half a bite of food at each stop. It's not enough to even experience the place you stopped at. And I had to buy lunch afterward because I was still hungry. This tour would be better if it was more like $20 a person. It definitely is not worth the money. |

The food, history & tour guide were all terrific. The only suggestion I can make is more food/drink tastings. |

The idea of incorporating food stops into a city tour brought a fresh and unique twist. I found the colonial guide to be entertaining along with great anecdotal tales. At the conclusion of the tour I was well fed and "full up". The pop overs near the end of the tour were outstanding! One should not miss this tour.

The guide was well-informed of the applicable local history, well-spoken and clearly enthusiastic. We were well-received at each of the restaurants. the food was uniformly excellent and the staff spent a good deal of time discussing the restaurant and the food dishes served. My wife and I are going back to one of the restaurants for our 36th anniversary. |
