I'm a little biased because I am one of the guides, but I am giving this rating just to let everybody know how wonderful our tour stop hosts are. The owners, the chefs, the cooks, the staff are all very knowledgeable and engaging, the food is wonderful, and we have as enjoyable a time as our guests.
So please do feel free to join us and experience what our business owners have to offer both locals and visitors.
And as always we thank you all for your patronage.

I have loved living in Winchester for the past fifteen years, but today, I fell in love with it all over again! We did the food and history tour given by Misty and Anthony, a dynamic duo! We immensely enjoyed being in their company and all the amazing food and history that they presented to us. They have wonderful relationships with the owners of the restaurants, who personally gave us beautiful presentations of their food and history of their restaurants. We felt so welcomed by everyone we met and made to feel like part for he community. We are looking forward to taking other tours that you are working on. Thank you so much for all the time and love you have invested in this little town we call home;)
