What a WONDERFUL experience we had yesterday on the River City ARTS area food tour! Rachel, our guide, was passionate about our comfort and her mission to share the exciting RVA food experience which is being recognized nationally. At each stop we were welcomed by a chef and/or owner who took time to explain his/her food background, philosophy, and passion. Then we were provided ample portions of their specialties along with explanations about their preparations! The food tours are a PERFECT way to experience RVA and its exciting and highly-acclaimed food movement! We were given the tour as a Christmas gift...another terrific idea! The website is very user-friendly and offers directions, scheduling, and tour information as well as a "Contact" capability to ask specific questions.

Wow, B., thanks for the glowing review (and your kind email as well)! I think this might be the first review to specifically mention our website! Either way, I'm glad you and the whole group had such a great time! - Brian

The tour was absolutely wonderful, our tour guide was amazing! The restaurants/establishments were fun, quirky, unique, and the hosts were absolutely delightful! The food in the arts District was special and very tasteful, but most of all the unique experience to get to know the people was the greatest joy of all! Totally worth the time to travel to do it!
