This was an awesome tour...
Ingrid_S, Sept 2025
This was an awesome tour with Jack! He is high energy, knowledgeable, and loves food! It’s clear that he has a great relationship with the owners of the restaurants… and a mutual respect! Tried a few ethnic foods that were different but tasty! Would highly recommend this!
Worth doing again if I find myself in Providence

Michelle is uniquely suited for being a guide on the tour! A Providence native, theater major, and chef, who could be better to entertain and inform foodies from near and far on the culinary scene of Providence. This was money and time very well spent.
