Historic Old Town Alexandria Food Tour

The weather was lovely for a walking tour of Old Town and our guide, Mary Elizabeth, was very nice and shared lots of her personal knowledge about the area. We stopped at four restaurants for some delicious food and at the last one tried for the first time ever the popular jelly cake which was so good. Our relatives from Canada really enjoyed themselves as well.......we had all gone on the tour of Georgetown last Oct which we really liked too. Definitely recommend any of these tours since you learn alot about each area, plus get to enjoy some really good food.

Alexandria is a gorgeous, historic site for a walking tour, and the 4 restaurants were wonderful. We had great food and generous portions. I was alone after attending a conference, and this was a perfect way to eat dinner with others in a small group, while viewing gorgeous architecture and scenery. One comment: In your directions from the metro, I would stress that you have to allow 1/2 hour to walk from the metro station to the meeting point, in large print if possible.

Tour guide (Ted) was great - knowledgeable, easy-going, friendly. 4 of 5 restaurants had great food and good to great service. Lebanese restaurant was a real disappointment. Food was on tables before we arrived; restaurant door was open. So food was cold, meats were dried out. We had two tables and the foods served were different at the two tables. There was NO service - we couldn't even ask for more water.

My husband and I had a great time. Its was an outstanding way for us to learn more about Old Town Alexandria and find out all there is to see and do while there.

Cloudy and rain threatened but it all turned out great!

The day was very good. We had two guides; both knowledgable. Their dialog was interesting and appropriate for the group. (wide variety of ages) The establishment staff were friendly, curtious and caring. We enjoyed the experience and will recommend it to anyone in the DC area. Old Town itself is very special. Thank you for your attention as well as the special staff we met.

By walking to eating destinations in Old Town you learn about the history of the town along the way while simultaneously building up an appetite and suspense regarding your next destination. Food was tasty and, contrary to expectations, portions were not small.

DC Metro food tours is a great way to get to know Alexandria. The tour was organized and well planned. If you're looking for a new resturant to try, this is the perfect tour. It offers a delicious variety of foods showcasing Alexandria's locally owned resturants. Highly recommend, A+

I loved the history, and I loved the different types of food! I enjoyed walking my way around this historic city and learning what made it so special. I liked the city before I took the tour but knew nothing about the history. Now it is even more special to me. This tour was a great value for the money and a good time besides!

My husband and I went on the Historic Old Town Alexandria food tour and had a wonderful time. We learned a lot about the history of the area, and the food was delicious! They even told us about the history of the restaurants and the food we ate. It was such fun! We would recommend this tour to anyone.
