i love doing food tours when traveling. My sister and I were visiting RICHMOND for a sister’s weekend. We decided to book this tour and are glad we did. Our guide Callie was nice, informative and professional. The mix of people in our group was great. The restaurants chosen were unique gems. All the food was creative and delicious. The portions were generous but not so much that you felt overly stuffed at the end. The walk was relaxed and leisurely. We never felt rushed. We got to meet several of the restaurant owners which was a treat. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Try it!We loved every minute of the food tour around Richmond!

We loved every minute of the food tour around Richmond! We booked this tour specifically for a bachelorette party and everything was so perfect. Where we started the tour was easily accessible plus walking around the city made the atmosphere more authentic! Getting the chance to meet some of the chefs, tasting their incredible food, and having a rockstar tour guide (Brian) made the afternoon so enjoyable! Brian was so knowledgeable about the area and different variety’s of food to indulge on. He also had some great recommendations for after the food tour!

This was one of the best food tours I've done in Richmond. Erin, our tour guide, was super friendly, very knowledgeable of Richmond's history, and a true foodie that took us to some of the best up-and-coming and established restaurants in Richmond's Art District. I loved her food selections (so delish) and the pops of color commentary that went along with each stop. She made our event memorable and was so easy to talk to - laughing alongside her just added to the experience! Thanks for making this such an enjoyable day. Will definitely be back!As a 1st time visitor to Richmond this was a great way to learn some of the city's history and see how restaurateur's are contributing to it's revitalization. The tour guides were engaging and the selection of restaurants was a eclectic mix of great food. Everything we sampled was YUMMY !!
