I was visiting my sister in Richmond and our weekend revolved around food as we both love to eat! She set this tour up for us (after having been on the Church Hill tour recently) which was a perfect way for me to see a bit of Richmond while trying several different restaurants. Our guide, Rachel, was lovely. She was very personable and spent time speaking with everyone. The restaurants we visited were all quite different but I enjoyed what each one had to offer. One other thing that made the tour unique for us was that out of the other 10 people there, we discovered we were 2nd cousins with one of the other women on the tour! Such a small world, but ultimately we were brought together by the love of food! On a side note... over the weekend we also got take out from Proper Pie Co. and bread from another spot. Both of these places my sister was introduced to on her Church Hill tour so these tours are great for locals and visitors alike! I also wanted to mention that you may want to have another category in the review that just says Family. We are family, but not with young children or teens. I selected Family (teens) but we really didn't have any children with us!

Wow, M., so much to love about this! I love that your sister loved her first tour so much that she went back to some of those places AND decided to do another tour with us! I love that you got to meet a distant relative you didn't know you had on our tour! And I love that you decided to share it all here (or else I'd have had no idea)! Thanks so much! - Brian

We have been on a couple of other food tours in different cities. On those tours we learned more about the city, its history, the building architecture, etc. I wish that had been the case on the Richmond tour. We think the guide missed many opportunities to inform us on the history of Richmond and how the establishments we visited fit into that history. Having said that, the pool hall and the two women-owned restaurants were extremely interesting and places I probably wouldn't have visited on my own but glad we did on the tour. I would certainly return to them. It would be nice to insure that we had water and napkins at each stop.

K., I'm so sorry to hear you didn't love Saturday's tour! We try to share lots of stories and history, though our promise to our guests it's a food tour first and a history tour second. On Saturday, we squeezed six stops into our tour route, which necessitated that we skip some of the history in order to stay on track (and I'm glad to hear you really enjoyed the food part!). I appreciate hearing your opinion, and we'll use it as a learning moment! - Brian

I set out with hopes of a fun activity for Mother's Day. Imagine my surprise when both my husband and teenage son agreed that this was not only fun, they want to re-visit 2 of our stops and next October when it's much cooler out, try the Church Hill Tour. SUCCESS! Thank you to Rachel our tour guide. She did a wonderful job of providing history, humor and personal attention to our group of 12. Our two favorite stops were Jackson's Beer Garden and Smokehouse as well as Greenleaf's Pool Room.

W., I think food tours are great for anyone who eats regularly, and I'm glad your family found that to be true! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be revisiting Greenleaf's and Jackson's, and I can't wait to see you in Church Hill soon! - Brian
