We had a wonderful time on the Old Town Alexandria Food Tour. Wayne was a wonderful tour guide with accurate and entertaining information about the city. The four locations we visited for food were amazing and warm and welcoming. We had plenty of food, lots of fun and made some new friends in the process! Would hands down recommend this tour, these restaurants, and Wayne as a tour guide. Thanks for an amazing experience.

We enjoyed our history and food tour, sitting down in 3 restaurants with great offerings. Plus a dessert shop to finish the tour. I always enjoy visiting the iconic restaurants especially. One suggestion is to include a restaurant on the tour that offers classic American dishes with local fare; peanut soup, Virginia ham, etc. That would be fun for tourists that are trying to experience the local flavor.
