I was visiting my daughter in Raleigh. We took the 3:30 tour with a few of her friends and it was a great way to see downtown and sample all that Raleigh has to offer. She has been in Raleigh for 2 years and was surprised to find new restaurants. Tony, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. Nice variety... More

My husband and I recently moved to the Raleigh area from another state. We saw an advertisement for the Taste of Carolina food tours in a Durham magazine and thought it would be a great way to try some restaurants and learn a little history along the way. We signed up for the Raleigh tour at 3:30pm which included drink... More

My husband and I did this trip this weekend. We chose the 3:30 because we knew it included some cocktails. It was definitely worth the price. We visited 5 places including a bar we never knew existed! We left with our stomachs full and with new knowledge of the city--both the history and the food! There was a nice variety... More

We had amazing time at the tour today! Food was delicious. There was a mix of various cousines - American, Mexican/Colombian, Indian plus beer/wine tastings and cupcakes. Our tour guide also included historic facts along the way to the restaurants. Thank you for introducing us to Raleigh gourmet foods!

I was hesitant about the price (I did the late afternoon cocktail food pairing). Being from out of town, I figured that even if it wasn't all I imagined, I'd get a chance to see a few places and decide where to eat the next day. I'm so glad that I did go on this tour. Very well done, lots... More

Was invited to go on their downtown Raleigh food tour by a friend and I am so glad I went! Its a great way to spend a few hours sampling some delicious local food, learning about the city and hearing about other restaurants to visit while walking around. The tour itself was seamless with the food arriving shortly after we... More

Once again, relied on the reviewers on Tripadvisor to help me out and once again, I got good advice. My mother was in town and I wanted to show her Raleigh, but wanted something a bit unique. We did the Taste of Raleigh tour and she was thrilled, which made me a good a daughter and made the money spent... More

I've lived in the Raleigh/Durham area for 13 years so I thought I knew some of the best places to eat. Well, was I wrong. Taste of Carolina Gourmet Food Tours is led by knowledgeable guides who offer an insightful, fun and engaging experience. There were out of towners on our tour who were equally impressed by the fantastic foods... More

We did the 3:30pm Raleigh tour, and I was so impressed! Our group was a mix of locals and out of towners. We had a blast. Susan's excitement for the Raleigh food scene was infectious. The restaurants and bars we visited welcomed us warmly, and the foods we tired were wonderful. If you're new to Raleigh, or visiting Raleigh you... More

When on the 3:30 tour on October 6. It was fantastic. Went to 6 places. I was so full by the end of the tour that I could not finish everything. Great food and drinks. I expected 1/2 drinks but instead many were full size drinks. Learned a great deal about the Raleigh area. Will take another tour in the... More
