You MUST take this tour!
Sun, May 24  1:00 PM bierry Male 30-39 Combination Couple on a Date
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.

Top Pick for Alexndria!
Thu, May 21  1:00 PM rakaster Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife and I travelled to Alexandria for the first time and this tour was certainly the highlight of our trip. As other reviewers have commented, it provides a great deal of history paired with a number of stops to varied restaurants. Not only is this a must see for tourists, but great for locals and business travelers, that can afford the time. The real treat was that the restaurants chosen, were varied and gems tucked just away from the mainstream tourist restaurants. The food and portions were perfect and worked seamlesly with the tour. Out tour guide, Christine, had an intimate knowledge of the history of Alexandria and provided a very pleasant pace for the day. I could not recommend this more highly. Bon Appétit!

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 had seen so much while in D.C. But this tour was the frosting on the cake I have already recommended this to some of the locals that live in my daughters complex the food was outstanding and the history our guide taught us was incredible we are going to get books recommended by her to learn more it was so intriguing! Also she made it so much fun! No one should miss this! It was worth every cent and more! Lynn Boynton Syracuse, Utah

Alexandria Food Tour is a unique experience!
Sat, May 9  1:00 PM JeanneLouw Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

History and food lovers delight!
Sat, May 9  1:00 PM bobbieg18 Unspecified Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We had such a fabulous afternoon learning about the rich history of Old Town and how our fore fathers spent their time creating a new life and government for the people. We especially enjoyed the local restaurants and specialty foods of the area. Each had a unique flare- very excellent tastes and service. We can't wait to go back to a few and try other menue items. The tour guides were top notch and well versed in the history and culture of the area. We highly recommend this tour for visitors and locals alike.

Informative and Delicious

Our Food Tour of Old Alexandria was so much more than a food tour. We learned interesting history and tidbits about the neighborhood. Visited the church George Washington attended, visited the Torpedo Factory Archeological Museum, etc. Our Tour Guides were knowledgeable and charming. And the restaurants served an eccletic assortment of dishes, a nice variety. Certainly didn't need any dinner that night!

Excellent
Sat, May 9  1:00 PM slgrogan Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was the highlight of our visit to Alexandria. We enjoyed the historical information mixed with visits to local restaurants. We were staying with our grown children who live in Alexandria and it was nice to try new places to eat so we do not always go to just one or two places when we visit. We knew we would learn more about the area but our kids were surprised that they also learned things they did not know. The guides were knowledgable and friendly and had a great relationship with the people who run the business and attractions in the town. We want to try both the pub tour and the ghost tour. Thank you for a super fun day.

Food and History
Sun, May 3  1:00 PM JanetFink Female 60-69 Local Family Without Children
We enjoyed the tour. We are local to the area. There was lots of history which we did not know before and the food was good. A nice friendly small group. We liked the tour but think it would be even more interesting to tourist from out of town.

Fabulous Tour!!
Sat, May 2  1:00 PM elise13 Female 20-29 Local Individual
I recently went on the Old Town food tour, and I have to say this this tour was by far the best walking tour that I have ever been on!! This was the perfect amount of food, walking and history all wrapped up in one. I have been on other food tours before and this doesn't even compare. DC Metro Food Tours is a totally different exprience and I definitely felt VIP the whole time. Jeff our guide was excellent , and did such a fantastic job informing us about the local history and architecture and ofcourse the food!! All in all this was well worth the money, and I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone of all ages.

Tasty Food at each stop
Sat, Apr 25  1:00 PM maryvbarrett Female 50-59 Combination Family Without Children
Our group enjoyed the tour very much. My only criticism: I liked when we were served our own individual plates, better than the one restaurant when we were serving ourselves from community platters. Serving pieces were minimal, and people (guide included) ended up using their own forks they were eating with to dish up additional food. Not very sanitary. It was definitely a walking tour, requiring good walking shoes for the brick sidewalks and endurance for the distance covered. I had done a tour like this in Boston before, and will look for additional ones in cities I'm planning to visit. It is a great way to learn about a city and visit places I might miss.

Cool Tour
Sat, Apr 18  1:00 PM fallen1800 Female 20-29 Local Individual
The tour was a great idea and I like the fact the groups are kept small. Its much nicer to get to enjoy the people you are with. The restaurants were great and so was our tour guide. Even though I have lived in the DC area, I had not been to Old Town Alexandria so it was a great way to get a feel for the city. Our tour guide went above and beyond explaining the history and the food, but also took care of us and gave directions too.
