My daughter scheduled this fun afternoon as a Mother’s Day gift. Our guide Rachel did a great job as we discovered new eating establishments, sampling their food, hearing the history of not only the restaurants but also the area. Appreciated the owners in 4 of the 5 businesses sharing their stories and sending the pride they have in their business. By walking I was able to appreciate sights that would have been missed by driving by!

Actually I felt like a tourist ,even though a local, since I learned some new things about Richmond. Our group was from everywhere.Brian is a well versed in this very dynamic area, not to mention a terrific guide. The restaurants we visited were eclectic and delicious from Chinese Mexican at Wong Gonzales to Pop's market where there is no menu of the day, and MamaJ's southern cooking. Or how about Stoplight for gelatos? or a game of pool at Green Leaf? We did not leave the area hungry. We waddled away after a good walk and interesting asides on the neighborhood history. You do need your walking shoes because we covered a lot of the neighborhood.

C., I love when locals tour their own city with us! One of my favorite things is when someone discovers a new favorite restaurant in their own hometown, and I see you've already been back to Mama J's! - Brian

We had a fantastic time with Rachel while we toured the restaurants in the Arts District. Not only was the food fantastic, but we learned a little bit about the history of each restaurant while we were there. Those personal connections are what will make us want to revisit each restaurant. Rachel was also insightful throughout the tour and made everyone feel comfortable. I've already recommended this experience to a bunch of friends!
