Bring your team, plan a private celebration, or give the gift of a food adventure.

"We've lived in Columbus for years and thought we knew the food scene. This tour opened our eyes to so many incredible spots we'd driven right past. The stories behind each restaurant made every tasting even more memorable."

Meet the Founders

Hello! We are Bethia Woolf and Andy Dehus, the founders of Columbus Food Adventures. After writing about the local food scene for years, we launched our food tour company in 2010 to share the incredible stories behind Columbus's diverse and ever-growing restaurant scene.

What started with three tours has grown into an award-winning company with 10 unique food tour experiences as well as foodie scavenger hunts, supper clubs and private events.

We're a boutique operation that values building relationships with a wide range of restaurant partners, from local institutions like Barcelona to small family-run eateries like Hoyo's Kitchen. Those relationships help us to create memorable experiences for every client, whether you are a family visiting Columbus for the first time or a department head treating your staff to a night out.

Before You Book

A few of the most common questions we get from first-time guests. Each tour page has its own detailed FAQ as well.

How much food is on a tour?
Each tour provides enough delicious food to replace one meal. Six to eight generous tastings spaced across the tour. Most guests leave too full for dinner.
What if it rains?
Tours run rain or shine. We only cancel for severe weather that threatens guest safety, which is rare. Stops are close together, and most have indoor seating.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We can only reliably accommodate vegetarianism, and only with advance notice. Note your preferences at checkout, or email us. We pre-coordinate dietary restrictions with every restaurant. The Taco Truck Tour is not suitable for vegetarians.
What's the minimum group size? Will my tour be cancelled?
Public tours require a minimum of 4 guests. If a date doesn't meet the minimum, we'll either reschedule you on another date or issue a full refund gift card. We always reach out before cancelling.
Are children or strollers allowed?
Most tours welcome children 10+. Younger kids may do better on shorter tours like the Pizza Tour and Short North Tour, or a van-based tour like Asian Eats. Strollers aren't practical given space constraints inside the shops and restaurants. Service dogs are permitted; pets are not.
Do tours include alcohol?
Several tours (Dublin, Worthington, German Village) offer a sample of an adult beverage, and several other tours (Alt Eats Tour, Italian Village Pizza Tour) offer adult beverage upgrade packages. Check individual tour descriptions for more.
How do tipping and gratuities work?
Tipping at the restaurants is included. An optional gratuity for your guide is appreciated. Many guides have Venmo QR codes available so you can tip in whatever way is easiest.
I'm visiting Columbus for the first time. Which tour should I book?
If you only have time for one, the Short North Tour is the classic. If you've got a couple of days and want more, pair it with Alt Eats or Asian Eats for a sense of the city's full range of flavors.
