What to Expect on a Walking Food Tour in Wilson, NC

If you have never been on a food tour, the idea is simple. You walk through a neighborhood with a local guide, stop at several restaurants for small tastes, and hear the stories behind the places you pass. In downtown Wilson, North Carolina, that means good food and a lot of history in a compact, walkable area.

How the tour works

Our Downtown Walking Food & History Tour lasts about three hours. Along the way you will sample generous small plates from local restaurant partners, so plan to arrive hungry. Public tours are small, with up to 12 guests, so your guide can talk with everyone and you are not stuck at the back of a crowd.

What you will see

Between stops, your guide shares stories about downtown Wilson, including its history, its architecture and its murals. It is a food and history tour, so expect to learn something at every stop, not just eat.

How much walking is involved

The route covers less than a mile at an easy pace, with plenty of time to stop and taste. There may be a hill along the way, so wear comfortable shoes.

How to get ready

Arrive hungry, wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather, since you will be walking outside between stops. A water bottle is a good idea. If you have dietary needs, tell us when you book so we can let you know what is possible.
