Great tour - well worth the money! - Taylor was a great guide- very upbeat and informative! The 5 stops were great - a lot of different types of ethnic foods. We were so full after the tour that we never ate dinner that evening. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic food tour with Taylor! - Taylor was the most amazing guide for our food tour! This was our 3rd tour through the same company and Taylor was hands down the best of all. Taylor shared so much history and information about Richmond and was so personable and full of energy. The food stops were wonderful!

Richmond Food Tour - We had a wonderful time on our food tour of the Arts District in Richmond. Taylor was our guide and she made us feel welcome from the first moment we arrived. She was filled with energy and very personable. She remembered everybody’s name and something about them…which I found very impressive. She also took time to talk with individuals as well as the whole group the entire time. We went to a great variety of places and had some great food! We also learned a lot about the area. We couldn’t asked for a more perfect day! We are already talking about going on another tour!

The perfect blend of food and local history! - Our Art District tour with Taylor was so much fun- the perfect blend of delicious food, local history, and a bit of walking ( to make room for more food!). Taylor is very knowledgeable about the area and shared all sorts of history and stories about the buildings and businesses. She also has an excellent relationship with the restaurant owners, so they were all very welcoming and gave great service! We highly recommend the Art District tour!
