We've been on quite a few food tours in other cities, including Paris, and I have to say that this is one of the best. One thing that really sets it apart is the quantity of food. You really get ample portions at each stop. We counted it as our lunch and dinner combined, so when you think about it that way, the price is pretty fair. Another thing that makes this particular tour so great is the choice of restaurants included. Many of them are on Richmond's "hot foodie list," including Proper Pie Co (you get a WHOLE savory hand pie!), Sub Rosa Bakery, 8 1/2 Pizza, etc. Every single stop had something totally delicious to savor. And our tour guide, Lindsey, was awesome. We loved that she was low-key, but gave us a little bit of history of the neighborhood and Richmond, and also spent a fair amount of time talking about the food itself, as it IS a food tour, after all. And who doesn't love walking along brick sidewalks in historic neighborhoods on a beautiful day?

We really enjoyed the different neighborhoods within Church Hill, the different varieties of food, fellow food lovers. We had a beautiful, warm day- an added benefit.

My daughter and I enjoyed tasting our way around Church Hill, adding a bright note to the last weekend of Christmas break. Our tour guide, Lindsay, was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable about the foods we sampled, the restaurantuers, and the history of Richmond’s oldest neighborhood. She provided just enough historical facts, dosed with attention-grabbing, entertaining anecdotes. The food was all really good, especially liked the Nile (for its unique international flavor), Sub Rosa (one of only 10 wood fired bakeries in the US), Proper Pie (with New Zealand style handpiies) and Liberty (sweet potato chili over grits with pan grilled cornbread was amazing). The WPA Bakery visit Athens the end of the tour was disappointing and would suggest they provide something more interesting than funfetti mini cupcakes for a sample. The canelli sample was more interesting, but seemed soggy and chewy. We tossed both in the trash. My daughter said they actually have good baked goods. But they apparently didn’t want to provide better samples. Overall, it was a fun afternoon, and we are looking forward to going on the new Scott’s Addition tour this spring.
