"Our tour took place on one of the hottest days of the year but we still had a good time because of our guide Marissa. She was energetic, considerate and engaging. All of the food was delicious, but our favorite was the empanada! Along the walk, and inside the venues, Marissa gave us interesting background info and shared fun stories about the town and the establishments. Don’t hesitate to join this fun tour!"

"My husband and I have been travelling to Galena for long weekends for almost 20 years. We always find a new experience. We were incredibly impressed by the Foodie Tour. Devin was professional and engaging. We sampled foods that we never would have without this tour. Not only did we learn about different foods, we learned about the owners of the establishments and how they give back to the Galena community. Devin shared the history of the town and the buildings as well. This was an all-encompassing tour and I would highly recommend it. Money well spent!"

Welcome to Galena,

I believe Food is more than just a taste or filling stomach. Food is and can be an adventure. Food creates emotions, memories and transports you to another world. I founded this business to share my passion for this with the millions who visit Galena every year.

Food tours allow you to experience something new, try something you wouldn’t have and find that hidden gem you continue to go back to over and over again.

I look forward to showing you Galena in a new and foodie way.
