| This was a great time and awesome experience for the both of us. Let me start off by saying that we were late due to the fact that we didn't know that there was an art fair going on in Old Town. We were worried that we would miss the tour but than Molly called my phone and let us know where we could meet up with them at and that was awesome and made our day. We than met up with the tour shortly after it began and let me tell you it was well worth the parking struggle. Molly was an great tour guide and she kept us entrained and well fed I might add. Her knowledge of the local area was impressive and even taught a couple of locals like us some new things about Old Town Alexandria. We highly recommend this tour and we will be going on the capital hill tour and eastern market tour as well. Thanks to DC food tours and a big thank you to Molly! | ||||||

| The only confusion we encountered at the start of the tour, as someone else has already mentioned, was finding our Metro Tours guide. I understood that someone would be at the Old Town Visitors' Center, where I looked first, but instead, we found our guide across the street at the corner of Market Square, a simple misunderstanding (probably mine). Natalie, our DC Metro Tours guide, was pleasant, articulate (we could understand her very clearly), and well informed. She described the tour before we began our walk, then kept us informed, not only about the sites we were visiting, but about what was coming up: how long until the next stop, whether there would be a WC available, etc. This information was very helpful for a long-ish tour (3.5 hours). We enjoyed all of our stops, whether a historic site or a restaurant. It was especially nice to walk to the waterfront and through the Torpedo Factory, where we encountered a glass harmonica player giving a performance outside! Our favorite stops were Bilbo Baggins and Union Street Public House, as the food was hearty and flavorful at both. Pita House, our last stop before dessert, was more of a challenge for two reasons: (1) a couple of people in our party are not particularly adventurous eaters, so they tried the shwarma and falafel, etc. but weren't particularly impressed; (2) the amount of food served at this last stop was partcularly generous, and by this time, we were pretty full from the previous two restaurants. All told, though, we had a great time in perfect weather (not too warm, and slightly overcast - great walking weather) taking a well organized tour. | ||||||

Very nice except for one eatery

| We enjoyed the tour very much. The only exception was the restaurant that served us sushi, which only a very few people ate. The Lebanese food was the best. It was nice to find out all about the history of Old Town, especially since our son now lives there. I do not think we received a good value for the money. For three of us, it cost $150. We could have had several wonderful meals for that much money. | ||||||

| 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+ | ||||||

| The tour of Old Town Alexandria was WONDERFUL! The tour guide (Molly) was knowledgeable, funny and personable. Her presentation and various facts about the area made for a perfectly enjoyable afternoon. The food was artfully presented, tasty and by the end of the tour, we were more than satisfied that we received our monies worth and more. Would highly recommend these tours to anyone planning a trip to the area. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| I have nothing but great things to say about this tour. Great food, friendly guide, and just the perfect amount of history. The owner of the company even called me to make sure my food allergy was taken care of! Top notch! This is a great tour even for us locals. I didn't even realize some of these places exsisted in Old Town. I look forward to participating in the pub crawls and also checking out the Capitol Hill and Eastern Market tours. Thumbs Up! | ||||||

Exceeded my expectations! Tons of fun!

| It was wonderful being with my group but the others on the tour were delightful and interesting as well. The tour guides (we were blessed with two that day) were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuine. The foods at the restaurants were delicious. Finally, I am an Alexandrian, but I learned much about Alexandria that day, including many places and things I was not even aware existed. | ||||||

Definitely a great value for the cost

| I am new in town and wanted something to do with a friend who was visiting. We had a blast on this tour! The guide was very knowledgeable, and had a great personality. Plus, combining the walking tour and the food at the restaurants made it feel like we were getting two services for the price of one. I'd recommend this for locals and out-of-towners because they go to places I wouldn't normally choose on my own, as well as bigger name places, but all the food is specially made for this tour. The portions are HUGE and they do a really good job mixing history and food. Plus, dessert was awesome. I'm looking forward to trying other tours when I have more family/friends coming to visit. | ||||||

| This was a food tour, and the food was only so-so. The guide was excellent, friendly and knowledgable about the neighborhood, practiced at keeping things moving, and generally good at what she does without making herself the star of the show. | ||||||

Good food and a good tour

| For not much more than you may pay for a standard tour, you get to enjoy some excellent food along the way. The tour guide and owner were both very friendly and knowledgeable. The food choices were great. I plan on doing their other tours in the near future. | ||||||

| My wife and I went for our anniversary and it was an enjoyable time. It was a good way to spend 3-4 afternoon hours and a nice way to see Alexandria. Be prepared to tip at the end. Food wasn't amazing, but it was pretty good and cool to go to a bunch of places I probably would have never gone. | ||||||
