Great food and great guide, Abby! - I did the Arts District Food Tour on Saturday, May 25. Abby was our knowledgeable tour guide. She was amazing and made it so much fun! She gave us great information about not only the restaurants we visited, but about Richmond's history. I took this tour in preparation for writing a travel article about RVA, and she shared some great information that will be so helpful in writing the article. The food options were great and I can legitimately say I LOVED everything I ate in every one of these spots! Would love to do another tour!

Do this tour. You'll love it! - Taylor is the best! We didn't just sample great food, we got a great tour of the area and so much history! Taylor is such a wealth of great info about architecture, the history of the city, the civil war - you name it! She was entertaining and fun. And the food was amazing.

Eating our way thru Richmond - The guide Abby was wonderful, had a wealth of knowledge and information not only of the food scene but of Richmond too. The restaurants that we visited were all so different and unique. They were all flavorful and delicious. We would do another tour if and when we are in RVA again.

An enjoyable taste of the Capitol city - What a great experience this was! Abby was a personable, knowledgeable tour guide who devoted herself to making this tour especially enjoyable. Each restaurant/merchant offered something tasty and unique. We had the perfect chemistry of great weather, an easy walk, and a lively group to complement it all. My 3rd Discovery Tour and never disappointed.

I highly recommend these hours spent. - Good conversations with strangers while tasting bites of delights. Walking was easy. Share your food allergies and/or needs before you arrive and they will have alternative for you prepared. 😉

Poor - The people were strange and so was our tour guide. Did not talk much. Most of the food was poor and would not ear it. Definitely NOT worth the $180 I spent for this. Never again.
