Awesome - The history was something I was not aware of. Hearing Darvin knowledge was awesome. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Plenty of food so don’t eat before you go.

A delightful day with Devin - Devin was interesting and funny. The food and drinks were plentiful and excellent. The real benefit was experiencing places we would likely not have gone to by ourselves.

A unique experience! - I had a great time as a solo traveler. The guide as well as other tour participants were friendly. Our guide was amazing! He had so much knowledge about the area. Definitely add this to your Galena visit.

Great time, Great food, Great drinks and Great host - I saw this on TripAdvisor and saw all the wonderful reviews. I was hoping we would have the same experience and I was not disappointed! Devin was a great host. He was very knowledgeable about the area of Galena and the history of the places that we ate at. The tour took us by all the shops and stops of Main street. Also, I did read that you should not eat or drink too much before this tour and they were not wrong. We had sooooo much food and drink but I was not miserable afterwards, just needed a nap. It was the perfect amount for the time allotted during our tour. Devin was a great host who took care of our needs. He was the leader but his personality made it feel like he was part of our group. This was our 3rd time visiting Galena and we were very happy we got to experience this tour. I highly recommend adding this to your Galena experience. Next time we are in town we will make sure to add his Friday night tour for another great time. Thank you Devin for an excellent time in Galena!!

DO THIS TOUR!! Fun, informative, filling, well worth the money! - AMAZING AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It's not often you can come out of an experience saying there was too much food and drink. When Devin started the tour telling us we would be stuffed when it was done, my group scoffed and even had a snack beforehand! This tour was so much more than advertised. Devin gave the history and backstories of Galena every step of the way. The food was ready when we arrived, and drink was quick to follow after ordered. It ran seamlessly. Devin is a wonderful person and the genius behind this tour. Our group will be back to experience more of his tours, like the Cocktail Tour he told us about.

Fabulous tour - It was raining on the day of our tour but Devin didn’t let it dampen our experience. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and did his best to keep us comfortable despite the weather. He knew the history of the town, buildings, and businesses. The tasting were amazing! When they tell you not to eat before your tour, they really mean it. There was so much delicious food! I would love to try the other tour too!

Fun food experience in unique settings! - Right off the bat, this company was accommodating and communicative. I had meant to make reservations on my lunch hour and was too busy, so I didn't get around to it until after school, at which time the reservations had closed. I texted the number, and not only did they get back to me right away, they graciously opened reservations back up to accommodate our small group! The email directions were clear to follow and provided ample instructions about what to expect, what to wear, where to meet, and other relevant information for touring. In addition, the tour guide, Marissa, was an absolute BLAST for our small group. She worked hard to get to know us and encourage us to enjoy each experience. She was a great communicator and so much fun! The tour itself was well worth the money, as the highlights, for me, were trying foods and drinks that I would not have otherwise experienced in Galena. They highlighted some incredible treats and small businesses that I probably would not have stopped in. From the AMAZING empanada to the delicious Thai donuts and everything in between, this tour was well-paced, full of amazing treats, and while I left full, I didn't leave feeling miserable. I was especially impressed by the N/A options for one member of our party who does not drink, which means this would be a fun experience for a variety of ages! I can't wait to do this again with my husband (and kids)! I cannot recommend this experience enough!
