I’ve been on a food tour before in my home state of NC. My daughter and her boyfriend moved to Richmond recently. We came to visit and scheduled the food tour in Cary Town. It did not disappoint. Eclectic, fun, tasty, and interesting. The guides Brian and Sara were very attentive and kind. They ensured we got our money’s worth and left with something else to do afterwards. Our favorite: Can Can a French brassiere that felt like a French experience!

This tour was well-organized, super fun, and introduced us to so many delicious foods! Lindsay was an awesome tour guide with knowledge about local history and present happenings. We'll definitely be back to check out another neighborhood!

Rachel did a great job of introducing our group to the proud owners and representatives of several great Richmond restaurants while eating and drinking our way through town. It was a special experience to hear the stories of each business, how they started and evolved into what they are today. I really enjoyed this experience and would recommend Rachel as your guide.

We had so much fun on our booze and bites tour. Our tour guide Rachel was amazing and very knowledgeable about all the restaurants we visited. It ended up just being our group on the tour. We left with full stomachs and had plenty of drinks along the way too. All the food was amazing. Definitely get your moneys worth!

My husband and I decided the night before to travel to Richmond, VA and wanted to do something different. Signed up for the tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The drinks and the food were delicious. Enough to be satisfied but not stuffed. Brian was very friendly and knowledgable about Richmond and the restaurants. We were a very diverse group age-wise but Brian made everyone feel included and welcomed. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed the event. Lindsey was a great tour guide. We went to 4 places and I hadn't been to any of them before. Great way to explore the city. Food and drinks were all delicious!

The group of ten were all interesting and friendly. Our hostess, whose name I forget, was just terrific--warm, outgoing, knowledgeable, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The four restaurants were all good and all different, offering a delicious variety of food and drink. Great way to get a feel for the city and to check out dining options.

Erin was a great guide! We’ve lived in Richmond for 10 years and learned new things about the city. The food was delicious and the other folks on the tour were very friendly. I would highly recommend this tour and River City Food Tours!

Lots of fun and a great way to explore Richmond! I live in the Richmond, VA, suburbs so I'm familiar with the city but I got tickets for the Sip & Savor tour as a gift for my parents when they were visiting. This tour was a home run! They had a great time getting to explore the city and experience the great restaurant & beer scene that RVA has to offer. To make it even better the tour guide was really fun and helped the whole group interact with each other. In fact, we enjoyed the group so much that after the tour was over, the guide suggested another place to go and the whole tour group went there too, for another drink! Definitely give this tour a chance!

The food was great, the company we were with was great, the weather was great, but the guide made the experience! We loved Rachel. This is what sets River City apart. I chose the term experience for a reason. That’s exactly what you get. You can go into these restaurants without River City, but it’s not an experience. The stories and tidbits you get make it special. I would recommend without a doubt.

My husband and I decided to do this tour for a date night and it did not disappoint! Our busy schedules don’t allow for us to venture to this area very much so this tour helped us enjoy several places in one evening! The food and the drinks were absolutely delicious! Our guide, Erin, was fantastic and knowledgeable. This was our second tour with River City Food Tours and we’ll be planning our third tour soon!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We thoroughly enjoyed the new “ Sip and Savor” tour! Good restaurant choices, great pairings and plenty for a great price. Staff are knowledgeable & have great information about the area. We’ve done other tours with them & it’s always a good time! Highly recommend.

My husband and I have been on 2 tours now and cant wait to do another one. Brian and Erin are excellent guides and give each tour a fun and relaxed vibe. We’ve never been somewhere we didn’t love, and it’s been a blast to learn some interesting history about RVA while enjoying great food and drinks. Shout out to Robin at Bar Solita for being attentive and taking great care of our group. Looking forward to planning our next Sip & Savor date night!

Richmond has spoken to my heart for a few years now. My wife and I visit once a year or so. Last time we were here we did an excellent Sweets Tour with River City Food Tours, we were so happy with it, that this time around we wanted to circle back with them and do something a little different- The Sip & Savor Tour. As a whole, Brian & Erin were excellent guides; amiable, talkative, knowledgeable and professional. You can tell they have a passion for this work. The evening began at Wong Gonzalez, with delicious margaritas and crispy crab tacos. The food was amazing: The margaritas were well balanced, while the tacos were flavorful and satisfying. The place has a hip ambiance. We walked about five minutes, which was fine because it allowed us to let the food sink a little and allowed us to check out the sites of downtown. This was a welcome respite from the food and also allowed us to interact with the guides who talked about the area and some of the buildings. Secondly, we went Max’s. I have to say, the decor and architecture of this restaurant adds a layer of sophistication that can’t be overstated. The food was good, a pimento croquette accompanied by a light beer. This particular dish wasn’t super memorable. But while we were there, we took a look at the full menu, and were drooling over some of the choices. We made a note to come back! Thirdly we went to Bar Solita, a Mediterranean style restaurant with large floor to ceiling windows. We sat in a corner table, and it made me feel pretty hip and fashionable. The food though was bonkers good. Lamb sliders accompanied with a red wine. The slider had a robust flavor while the wine paired beautifully. The manager greeted us and gave us a little history of the restaurant. It was a cool spot. Lastly, we went to Charm School, where the co-owner came out and gave us some history of the establishment. Let me tell you something, this is some of the best ice cream I ever had. Even after we had our sample, we walked right in and got full portions. Go here! All in all, this was another successful tour with River City Food Tours. Next time we come back, we plan to do the Cary Town your. Honestly, do yourself a favor and do a tour with these guys. We are avid travelers, and these guys are world class.

Had so much fun eating and drinking our way around the Richmond Arts District with River City Food Tours! Four exciting and distinctive restaurants with yummy food and perfect adult beverage pairings. Easy walking with some RVA culture and history thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to bringing friend and family back and also trying all the other tours offered.
