This tour was so much fun and delicious! The tour is led by the owner, Tammy. She is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We went to five different restaurants and were able to sample things off the menu that I wouldn’t normally order, but enjoyed very much. My favorite stop was The Ohio Club. There is so much history there. I highly recommend this tour!

Nice tour with Tammy! We went to 5 places and had food and drinks at 4 of them and dessert at the 5th. My husband and I both agreed it was enough food for dinner. Enjoyable afternoon!

- Felt too rushed. An added 30 minutes from 2 to 2.5 hr. total would be less rushed to spend just a bit more once inside each place to rest & checkout the place & its menu a bit
- Appreciate personalization guide Tammy did w/each person & especially the kids to pull them into the fun
- Out in the heat too long. Hot weather can't be controlled, but the heat was miserable & even though the guide positioned us in the shade to explain the historical buildings & artifacts, we were close to collapse & grumpy from the 100+ temperature heat by tour end
- Food & drinks were fabulous. Excellent variety & a true tasting pleasure even for picky eaters. Tammy honored food allergies & took special care to ensure picky eaters had choices too & that's a hard thing to do.
- Fun overall experience & we wanted to go back to all the food places on our own, they were so great tasting & varied. The portions could have been larger, especially the red beans & rice.
- History information provided was fun to hear & appreciated, but on such a hot day or during foul weather, maybe point out the area & once inside the restaurants & inside the AC, then refer back to the areas pointed out & then in the comfort of the indoors give the history.

This was a great way to find out fun facts about Arkansas. The food was diverse and extremely good. I probably wouldn’t have tried it if I hadn’t taken the tour. I’m a rice and gravy kinda girl. This made me step out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I did! Take the tour, meet new people, and enjoy your trip! Tammy was awesome.

We had a great time. Tammy shared local history while we enjoyed delicious food. I never would've ordered some of the items we sampled.

My husband and I took our 3 kids on a quick trip to Hot Springs in February. We found this Food Tour and thought it would be a lot of fun, but they didn't offer a tour on the nights we would be there. I sent them a message to see if they could recommend a place to eat and they ended up putting together a tour just for our family! It was SO MUCH FUN! Tammy was our guide and was full of energy and excitement as she took us around to some of her favorite restaurants. We loved all of the dishes she picked for us and, even more, we loved all of the history and stories she told us about Hot Springs and the local eateries. Will definitely book another food tour when we go back!

We did the Thursday Booze and Chews Tour with Micki! She is a wonderful tour guide and the food selections and drinks were excellent! We will definitely try another tour the next time we visit. We got so many good ideas on places to eat and visit. We wish we had another week to stay!! This should be a priority when you visit Hot Springs!

We loved our host. We loved our bites. We loved the stories and the history. Later, we visited several of the recommendations and locations we sampled.

I took my daughter for us to celebrate her 22nd birthday. We arrived the afternoon just in time and it was the best first choice we could have experienced. We were given a quick tour and got lots of good information on the best entertainment and restaurants. It was our first time to Hot Springs.

Unfortunately we are closed at this time. Due to the nature of how the Covid virus is spread we feel it is not prudent for us to run tours and expose our guests and our tour guides to the possibility of contracting the virus. We are sorry that we will be unable to run tours and hope that everyone understands our caution.

Hi, Patricia. What would you like to know about this attraction?
We will be coming the end of May. I would love to do this tour but am concerned about how much walking there is. Because of surgery I cannot walk very fast or very far. Will this be a problem?

Hello! We cover 1.7 miles downtown with a couple of flights of stairs in between. It isn’t what I would all strenuous but it some parts of the tour have a bit of walking between stops in some areas. The tour is 3 hours long so as I said it’s not strenuous but only you can know if you can manage it.
Thank you.

General admission tickets are $54. All food and drinks (wine at one stop and margaritas at one other stop) on the tour are included in the price. Food is enough for a full meal for most people.
Additional drinks besides water are at your own cost.
