This was such a fun experience, and our tour guide, Wayne, was wonderful! We learned so many interesting facts about Alexandria and had great food at all of our stops! Definitely recommend!

As locals, we have been going to Old Town Alexandria for decades. We had no idea how much we didn't know about this fascinating part of Alexandria. Lynn was an outstanding guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, interesting, funny, and all-around engaging. We've taken at least a dozen food tours, and Lynn is as good as it gets as a food tour guide. She kept us right on schedule with the restaurants while never making it feel rushed. It was obvious that the proprietors like and respect her, which made all the food stops that much more enjoyable, as the service and overall demeanor of the servers was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour. The food is better than most tours, the area is so nice for walking, and -- if you get Lynn as your guide -- you'll be in for a wonderful 3+ hours in Old Town.

Terry was great tour guide. He was informative and offered great information and tips about Alexandria. The food was awesome. With all of the food offered it was full meal by the end of the tour.
