I participated in the inaugral Monroe Street Food Tour led by Madison Food Explorers. This was an incredibly informative and TASTY afternoon. There were multiple stops along the way and each destination on the tour had a delicious sample, some great information about the backstory of the business (how they got started, why there were drawn to a particular industry,...

Madison Food Explorers is the brainchild of owner Andrea, who through her passion for history and love of food offers her clients a fun and fact filled adventure while exploring Madison, WI. I've never been on a food tour before and thought it would be a great way to walk around, see the city, eat some good food and not... More

As a food tour operator myself, it's always interesting to see how others organize and guide their tours. Andrea has it nailed! I coerced my son (a UW student) to join me (even though he thought he knew everything). We meandered from Lake Monona to Lake Mendota via the capitol square, tasting and discovering all along the way. We learned... More

Even in the rain we had a great time on the tour. Andrea was very informative and a great sense of humor. I have lived in Wisconsin my whole life and I still learned a lot. The different types of foods were all good. We plan on going on her other tour soon.

This was a great girlfriend trip in November 2011. It would also be a great thing to do with your family or mother-in-law. The food was plentiful and good. I learned a lot about Madison--even after living in Wisconsin all my life and graduating from UW!

I had the opportunity last fall to take the food tour with Madison Food Explorers and it was so much fun! Our tour guide and owner of the business, Andrea, did a fantastic job at giving us facts about Madison and the State of Wisconsin as we ate our way around the Capitol and down State Street. This was a... More

I took the Lake to Lake tour with Madison Food Explorers in November 2011 and it was amazing! It was the perfect combination of gastronomic delights, seeing the best sights in Madison, learning interesting facts about the city and walking a beautiful path. The food was delicious - more than I could eat, the walking was easy and the tour... More

Take this tour if you can in Madison. It was a great time and at the end you really had a feel for the city and it's flavor.

We loved hearing about the architecture around the lakes. The narrated mini tour of the convention center was informative. We wish we had time to go back to look at the Frank Lloyd Wright photograph exhibit. The tour guide's choice of restaurants/eating places were excellent as they were varied. We plan to try one of the restaurants on our next... More
