Delicious sampling of local foods. Enjoyed walking through the city to the restaurants. Abbey was a great tour guide. We would absolutely do it again.

The guide Abby was wonderful, had a wealth of knowledge and information not only of the food scene but of Richmond too. The restaurants that we visited were all so different and unique. They were all flavorful and delicious. We would do another tour if and when we are in RVA again.

What a great experience this was! Abby was a personable, knowledgeable tour guide who devoted herself to making this tour especially enjoyable. Each restaurant/merchant offered something tasty and unique. We had the perfect chemistry of great weather, an easy walk, and a lively group to complement it all. My 3rd Discovery Tour and never disappointed.

Good conversations with strangers while tasting bites of delights. Walking was easy. Share your food allergies and/or needs before you arrive and they will have alternative for you prepared. 😉

I moved to Richmond about a year ago, and my colleagues purchased this gift card for me. It was the first food tour I've ever participated in. From the moment we started at Penny's wine shop, Abby (our tour guide) welcomed us and was engaging. I enjoyed all the spots we visited, mainly since it's an area I don't happen to go to much. I'd return to all the places - particularly Mama J's for catfish, Buttermilk, and Honey. Abby was so accommodating, informative, and overall a great tour host.

Our tour guide Abby was best in class. She was so attentive to all the tour goers and made sure to address special needs such as veggie preferences. Also, when at the lost stop, there was a miscommunication with the restaurant, she handled things professionally and didn't skip a beat. She was super sweet and informative, we loved hearing all about the historical background of each restaurant. The restaurant choices were great -- definitely want to go back to most or all of them.
