Fantastic afternoon in the city - We are from the area, but actually visited places we had not yet been to. My food preferences were accommodated very well and our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the area, the food and the drinks. I highly recommend.

Great food and drink! - Got this for my husband's birthday and the whole family went (all adults). Great way to spend the afternoon. Erin was a great guide. The food and drink were wonderful. Our last stop was a no-go because of a power outage but Erin quickly piivoted to another ice cream place. Really missed the gelato and the ice wasn't great, but it did not ruin my overall experience. Would highly recommend.

Great way to spend a 50th Birthday - I picked this tour for my wife to celebrate her 50th Birthday! Had a group of 13 people and everyone had a blast....even with the rain! The food, drinks, and atmosphere at each location was great. Our guide (Lindsey) had a wealth of knowledge about the local area and kept everyone engaged the whole tour. I highly recommend Discover Richmond Tours, I know we will do another one in the future.

Great for locals and tourists alike - Got this as a birthday gift for my wife, and we really enjoyed a nice afternoon of eating and drinking. We are Richmond locals but had only been to two of the five places on this list. The highlight for us was definitely the grilled cheese at Truckle. Lindsey was a great guide, telling us about the history of Scott's Addition. We would definitely do another Discover Richmond tour.

Great Tour/Great Food/Great Way to Spend a Friday Afternoon! - Just a great tour! I'm a local--spouse out of town and a long week of work--so decided to do something different on a Friday afternoon. Guide was terrific--friendly and knowledgeable of both the neighborhood and the places we visited. 5 stops over 2+ hours--and a great mix of food, beer, and gelato. Four couples, the guide, and me--really a fun group to engage with throughout the tour. You really do get what amounts to a full meal during the tour, and I look forward to re-visiting all 5 businesses. A highlight was engaging with two owners and multiple employees--all whom clearly took pride in their work. Highly recommended--you end with a sense of pride in Richmond (if you're from here) and a greater appreciation of a city that's re-inventing itself (if you're a visitor)!

Tasty Bites and Many Delights! - Elaine and I had a blast taking the Scott's Addition Food tour! What a fun way to try lots of great restaurants in a part of the city we hear a lot about but rarely get to. Erin was a fun and engaging tour guide! The food is delicious and plentiful. As an added bonus, spirits were involved at many of the stops on the tour🍻. This is our 4th food tour with Discover Richmond Tours and we always have a grand time!
