This was a really good tour. All restaurants were very happy to have us there. All their food was well prepared and ready for us. We were not rushed at all. There was plenty of food to the point that my girl friend and I skipped dinner. Rachel, the tour guild was full of knowledge about all restaurants and the areas we went to. She was a delight to have been our guild. She made sure to not just treat us a group, but managed to find individual time to speak and laugh with each of us. If you are in Richmond, ya gotta take this food tour. You’ll love it just like we did.

A., best food tour ever?! Awesome, thanks so much for the glowing words! Skipping dinner is a pretty common side effect of our tours, so you're not alone! - Brian

What an incredible way to spend an afternoon in Richmond! Our guide, Rachel, was absolutely charming, engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurants served us incredible food along with wonderful stories. I highly recommend this tour whether you are visiting Richmond or a native. Looking forward to trying another of their tours!

I was in town for the weekend with my boyfriend and there was only one slot left for the food tour. I emailed Brian, he responded quickly, and opened an extra slot so that my boyfriend and I could a tour together. I toured with Rachel who was an excellent guide- very knowledgeable, personable, and engaging! The food at each stop was delicious and the restaurant staff was delightful (notably at Greenleaf, Stoplight, and Lift.) Meat LOVER here, but the standout dish was the veggie sandwich at Lift. My boyfriend and I are still talking about them! If they're not serving them during your tour then I'd definitely suggest ordering one (on your way in)! Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to check out the Carytown tour next time I'm in town!
