We worked with Taste of GR in August. This was the first time we hosted an event of our own. Once our tour left the Goei Center Kate took over and it was clear she did her homework! We had four stops. Taste of GR worked with each restaurant to ensure an awesome experience for our guests. We also made stops along the walk to talk about some of GR's history. When it comes to food and history, Kate is a wealth of knowledge

exceeded my expectations
One of the best values I experienced in 2023! From the welcome to the bites and everything in between, Kate and team exceeded my expectations. She handled everything with grace, including a tornado warning!

cool combination of local eats and history
I love to try new, local restaurants, so this tour was the perfect fit. The added history of the city only enhanced the experience. Such a cool combination of local eats and history. Highly recommend!
