Portland · PORTLAND FOOD CART & DONUT TOURS
23 reviewed
Portland eats from carts, and the best pods are hard to read from the outside. These are the top food-cart and donut tours in the city, with what you will actually taste on each, how far you walk, how long it runs, and what it costs to arrive hungry and leave very full.
Walk downtown Portland on a small-group donut tour with included tastings, classic Voodoo stops, and quick museum/photo breaks.
“Great Portland experience to learn more about the city and sample some delicious donuts. Our guide Kayla was fantastic and shared lots of recommendations for places to visit in Portland along the tour.”
Portland Downtown Food Tour with 6 tastings: miso sandwich, shrimp and grits, pretzel dips, a secret dish, and a gluten-free pie.
“A few years ago, I was in portland with my family and we had booked this tour. Unfortunately, I was ill the day of this tour and had to head back to my hotel after the first stop. Fast forward a couple years and I'm back in portland solo and I knew I had to book this tour and exorcise some food demons. Glad I did, this was a fantastic tour with great stops. Ive been on many a food tour and I always love when I am taken to places that I wouldn't have ventured into on my own. My favorite stop was Khao Moo Dang with its delicious…”
Downtown Portland food carts, Thai and Chinese classics, chocolate, shave ice, and local drinks. Small group, guided by David. $128.
“I love a good food tour when traveling to new cities and this one was GREAT. David was such a fantastic guide - informative, funny, full of anecdotes and fun facts, personable with each person in the group, and definitely in the know with all things delicious in Portland. What really surprised me was how much more than a food tour this was. While we got to eat a variety of unique eats, in true educator form, David provided such rich information about the city, from its origins to now. The tour covered more ground and provided more food than I expected so I highly recommend coming (extremely) hungry and…”
A 2-hour Old Port donut walk in Portland, Maine with six warm samples, coastal history, and quick line-free stops.
“Our family really enjoyed this tour. It was well paced, great to walk around on a pretty day and learn about history of Portland with points of interest. We loved the donut samples and Kris was very generous with portions. All sanitary and safety measures (gloves, hand sani) were followed (saw a few earlier reviews mention this). He shared great history and lobstering industry knowledge. It was really interesting and a great way to see Portland- along with history of the donut. We highly recommend this tour!”
A small-group 3-hour Portland food cart pod tour with up to seven carts, all food and drinks included, plus local beer and history.
“We had so much fun with Herb. Should everyone have a guide that is not only in love with the city that he lives in, but his passion about the farmers, and the chefs that produced the food on this tour. You can see the enjoyment he gets with educating others”
Portland’s only guided donut tour with four shops, big neighborhood walks, and skip-the-line Voodoo tastings in about two hours.
“What a cool experience! Our guide, Kayla, was super friendly and knowledgeable, and we stopped at several locations for some delicious donuts and some drinks. the only thing I didn't like was that I had eaten breakfast before going on this tour!”

A small-group Portland foodie ride by bike or e-bike with guided stops for tea, food carts, and scratch ice cream, plus local flavor facts.
“I booked this for myself and my s/o not know what to expect (or what the weather would be like) and we had SO much fun! We were the only two on the tour which is probably pretty normal for January, but Taylor was a) an incredible guide (I'm not a regular biker, so she really helped me feel safe/comfortable biking around the city) and b) SOOO talented for SO many other reasons that we got the pleasure of learning about during the tour. Ate some delicious foods, got some history of different areas in Portland, including a super cool graveyard site. Lots of biking/ground covered which I loved, and…”
Four full slices at four Portland spots in a relaxed 1-mile walk, guided by Beau with clear pizza-style lessons and local recs.
“I went on this tour with a friend not really knowing what to expect. I'm not a pizza connoisseur but after this tour, my palate definitely came away with an entirely new appreciation for wood fired pizza and naturally levened pizza that makes the pizza crust crispy. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, witty, and fun. He gave us an intimate perspective of Portland while filling our tummies!...be ready to tackle healthy portions of pizza.”
Portland coffee and donut walking tour with a local guide, included tastings, and downtown stops like Powell’s Books and Pioneer Square.
“We saved this tour for our last day in Portland-we wanted to be able to get the best of both worlds in terms of coffee and donuts, and this tour beyond met our expectations. First our tour guide Michelle was such a wonderful host-her energy and knowledge about the city and many of the places we went to you and even just walked by she was able to give us information about. You completely get your moneys worth in terms of coffee and donuts. My boyfriend and I left the tour stuffed and the fact that we got to try a variety of so many different things was well worth…”
Taste Portland downtown on a 3-hour walking food tour with Side Dish Mafia, guided by a local comedian, plus history and signature cart eats.
“This was a fantastic tour run by a funny, engaging plucky local. His passion for food and the food scene in Portland radiates throughout the tour. He takes you to the best food trucks and shows you what is special about them. He partners with one of the best chocolate shops I have visited in the world (and I travel a lot). This is the first place I've eaten dark chocolate and liked it. He knows the history of the city and shares it with you. And at the end he askes you to pick your favorite item and it's impossible to choose because everything on the tour was truly…”
A small-group Portland brunch crawl with Ian Schaaf-Ritchie, tasting stops around four eateries plus an optional Pearl District stop.
“It turned out to just be our small group with the guide, which was fine with us, but we felt underwhelmed by the whole experience. The table was reserved for the four of us, in total, and we were greeted when we entered the restaurant and shown our seats. The first stop was a lot of food, which is fine, but there were three more places we were walking to. The food was not pre-ordered, and then the bill came and was paid for at that time. As we walked to the various locations, we inquired about some of the historical stuff around Portland, such as the carriage house, and…”
