Historic Old Town Alexandria Food Tour

Our tour guide, Christine, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about Alexandria. She made us feel like we've known each other for years!! The food samples were interested and have good mixture of U.S. and international cuisine. Overall, it's a very good tour and we would like to see some change in the food sample according to different season.

Jeff and his crew have put together an absolutely fabulous program. A combination of restaurants that are hidden gems in Old Alexandria - all of them on side streets a visitor (even locals) would not easily find - and the most significant and historic landmarks (the steps where George Washington announced his presidency as one of many examples) make this a delectable and educational experience. The guide is knowledgeable, extremely courteous, and relentlessly goes above and beyond to ensure his/her guests are well taken care of. The food portions are generous and you'll be surprised at Jeff's meticulously planned and timed menu offering a variety of local and international fare. After taking the tour, the $50 admission seems like a steal. My girlfriend and I learned so much history and this tour was definitely one of the main highlights of our Virginia vacation. I was doubtful of the 100% satisfaction ratings on the site before the event; now I would give it 6 stars if available. Must try.

I really enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and food was really really good!

I wasn't expecting to learn so much history on this tour. I thought it would be focused more on the food, but there was so much more brought into the tour. Jeff is amazingly knowledgeable about the history of Alexandria. The food-as expected was delicious and varied.

We were a group of colleagues visiting Washington DC on business. We had two extra days and decided to go on the food tour. We really enjoyed it and felt it was good value for money. The guide was good, spoke loud enough for all to hear and knew her stuff. The only two things that bothered me was that we did not have a lot of time to take pictures and that the tour ended a bit abruptly. We were left at the last stop with just a quick goodbye and directions back to the starting point.

My friend and I spent a sunny afternoon on the Old Town Alexandria Food Tour. I have lived in the DC area for years, but had never really visited Old Town. I heard good things about the company and its food tours before and was excited try one for myself. It was an amazing time- The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, the route was beautiful, and the food was great! I loved that all the restaurants were local favorites, and that we got meals created especially for the tour. We even got to talk to the chefs!! Talk about Cool! The town was charming. Our guide kept us out of the crowds so we could really enjoy the area. We learned stories about the people who lived here and even visited a museum and George Washington's church. I highly recommend this tour. Can't wait to try the Capitol Hill tour!

This tour is well worth investing an afternoon while visiting Old Town Alexandria. Not only do you explore and hear fascinating details re: the most historic part of the city, you also discover hidden restaurant treasures that are staple destinations for locals.....things you likely would not experience as a tourist in town for a limited amount of time. I recommend it!

Excellent tour with just the right mix of current information, historical anecdotes and surprisingly good food from restaurants hidden in plain sight.

I highly recommend this walking food tour of Old Towne Alexandria. I not only learned a lot about the city that I live near, but got to become familiar with a few really excellent restaurants. The tour guide was well organized, educated on his material and made it an excellent afternoon!

The tour was well paced and thought out. There was an excellent variety of foods and information.
