My wife and I had a fantastic tour of downtown restuarants and sites. We had great food and drinks all included, Wow. Natalie was a wealth of knowledge concerning restaurants and historical sites. What a great way to learn about places in New Haven. We live 25 minutes away and didn't know much about were to go, now we do.

I had friends visiting from San Francisco (serious foodies). We had great fun on the Theatre District tour; a great way to sample New Haven's fantastic food scene, and also to learn about local history and architecture from personable and knowledegable guide Colin. I highly recommend.

Had a Groupon for the Theater district tour and tastings. Even though we thought we knew New Haven, we didn't! Eric was a great guide to the city's history, and the food (iincluding the kettle corn on the street) and drinks were a real pleasant surprise. We would recommend this tour without reservation, and we intend to attend their other... More

I gave this tour to my husband for his birthday. I had gotten a discount on it. Collin, the owner, ran our tour. He is a very knowledgeable guy. He has an architecture degree and also does alot of historical research. We had anticipated that the tour would be all about food, but Collin threw in some history as well... More
