By sharing the living history of cuisine by the hands that make it, we're changing the way people think about food and its role in the universe.
No awkward mealtimes here! Our Portland food tours are scheduled at times when you actually want to eat, during normal breakfast, lunch, or dinner hours. Come join us before or after your day exploring our wonderful city.
Our Portland food tours are all-inclusive which means everything is on us – yes, even alcohol. From locally roasted coffee to fresh craft beer, we’ll show you why what we drink in Portland is just as important as what we eat!
We’re from Portland and we know where to find the best places to eat and drink in the city. Most importantly, we know the crafted professionals who create what we love to put in our bellies. We’ll show you a side of PDX you wouldn’t otherwise get to see.
Get off the beaten path and discover truly local corners of the city. You’ll get the chance to meet the people who have spent years perfecting their craft: making delicious food and drink for us!

“As a food tour guide myself, I have to say… Evangel did a fantastic job of leading us around Portland, sharing history about the food pods, carts and their chefs, telling us informative tidbits about the food scene and introducing us to new cuisines with generous portions. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on this tour and so did my taste buds! Loved that Evangel took photos of our group and sent them to us after the tour was over. Highly recommend this tour!”

“What better way to see and eat around Portland than a food tour? We were so glad that we picked this particular food card/pod tour. Our guide, Michelle, was great and took us to the best carts and we were able to try foods that I personally would not have picked out on my own. There were even vegetarian options available. All of the food was amazing and we were fortunate to have great company in our group and fantastic weather. Highly recommend! Next time we are in town, I’m going to sign up for the coffee and donut tour.”

“I rarely ever leave reviews for anything but I thought this tour was so well organized and thought out that I had to leave a review. Michelle was a natural and her personality really shined and it is abundantly clear that not only does she have a passion for the Portland food truck scene but also people too. She has traveled all over and has done many food tours herself and this makes her great at what she does. I would 15/10 recommend doing this tour and supporting a small-family owned business that supports other local PDX small owned food carts on this tour!”

“Our guide Evangel was fabulous! She was so knowledgeable of Portland and the history of the food/culture. I ate a lot and learned a lot. Evangel was so kind and helpful. She hung back at the end of the tour and spoke to everyone individually, answering questions/giving recommendations of other restaurants to try in Portland. I left full and with a list of other places to try during my visit in Portland. This tour was a 10/10.”

“We weren’t really sure what to expect but thought it would be fun to start our time in Portland through food and what better way than Food Trucks. Well we couldn’t have made a better choice! We ate such a variety of food – most we would never have tried on our own. We didn’t have to stress what to choose as Michelle had it all so well planned. No lineups, decisions, finding seats, and no waiting. It was great to hear all about the food scene in Portland, the history of Food trucks and the many, many fascinating stories. Michelle was so helpful with recommendations, advice and her enthusiasm and passion was contagious. We’d definitely recommend this as a perfect way to start your visit, just be sure to come hungry and thirsty.”

“After a terrible airline experience, I thought I would miss my tour. The hosts were amazingly understanding and able to accommodate me on a later tour. This was the highlight of my day. I met some lovely people and enjoyed some delicious food. It was an extraordinary value as well. We were served huge portions of food and had the right amount of time to enjoy it. I am considering the coffee and donut tour for tomorrow! Evangel was a delight. She knows the area well and gave so many recommendations I could hardly keep up! I would do this tour again next time I am in town.”

“This tour started of great and ended amazing! The food and drinks were planned well to show the history of Portland. The range of culture in each food selection was amazing. Our guide Evangel was fabulous! She was so knowledgeable of Portland and the history of the food/culture. I ate a lot and learned a lot. Evangel was so kind and helpful. She hung back at the end of the tour and spoke to everyone individually, answering questions/giving recommendations of other restaurants to try in Portland.

“The tour was an absolute blast. Herb was an amazing guide and the food was exceptional. Herb was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and interesting. He made the entire experience so much fun. The food was outrageously good. Not a single taste I didn’t like. The portions were huge. A truly fantastic way to learn about Portland, the food carts, and get immersed in the culture of the city. Well worth the ticket price. Highly recommended!”

“We saved this tour for our last day in Portland-we wanted to be able to get the best of both worlds in terms of coffee and donuts, and this tour beyond met our expectations. First our tour guide Michelle was such a wonderful host-her energy and knowledge about the city and many of the places we went to you and even just walked by she was able to give us information about. You completely get your moneys worth in terms of coffee and donuts. My boyfriend and I left the tour stuffed and the fact that we got to try a variety of so many different things was well worth it. If you were looking to try donuts or coffee in Portland, just book the store and you will leave satisfied in every way.”

“We went on three tours during our weekend in Portland, one of which was a competitor. Hands down, this was our favorite. Michelle was incredibly engaging and knowledgable about coffee and the city. Getting more donuts than we could eat was also a plus. If you’re on the fence don’t be. Just book this tour!”
