We had a great time on the Carrytown Food Tour! It was our second tour with Discover Richmond. The food was great and the restaurants were very welcoming. Olivia was the Best guide! She was funny and knows everything about food! Her knowledge of the history of Richmond and the United States was impressive. The people in our group were friendly. Highly Recommend!

My husband and I did this food tour for my birthday and it did not disappoint! Although we are VA natives we’ve done very little exploration of Richmond. This tour was a great opportunity to get familiar with Carytown and everything it has to offer. Our tour guide, Olivia, was hilarious and very knowledgeable of the town’s history, which was a nice mixture of content to have. We enjoyed the variety of foods and drinks that we got to try. I won’t spoil all of the stops but our favorite dish was probably the chicken and waffles at New York Deli. The pizza slice at Zorch Pizza was everything you would want in a slice and a close second in comparison. The espresso martini at Can Can Brasserie is definitely worth trying (note drinks at most stops are an additional charge). The only critique we had was about the stop at Home Sweet Home. It’s not the tour’s fault but both of our sandwiches and soups were lukewarm. If a restaurant is serving comfort food on a cold/windy January day, it would make sense to serve it as hot and fresh as possible to convince people to come back. The flavors were still really good and the decor was “unique” (i.e. don’t come to this place if you get offended by words and drawings by adolescents). Also one idea that I think could elevate the experience is to offer a drink package add on. I’ve done a few other food tours in various big cities and for an up-charge some offer a drink pairing for every food stop. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone! Apparently they do tours for other areas of Richmond as well so I’m keeping them in mind for future visits!

Just moved to Richmond and loved the Carytown Food Tour with Olivia! Food and restaurant selection was perfect and Olivia’s humor and historical knowledge elevated the tour. I will definitely look into another tour with Discover Richmond Food tours.

WOW! I’ve done these tours in Charleston and Savannah and the Carytown tour tops all of them. Olivia our tour guide was so great! I wouldn’t mind this tour a second time. Food was plentiful and so good.

Olivia is an amazing tour guide; she is knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! The food was excellent with top honors to the tomato soup at Home Sweet Home and Bev’s coffee oreo ice cream. Can Can’s bread was also yummy! I am a local and this was my second time on the tour— another great time; thanks, DR!
