SUSAN_P, May 2023

Visiting all the wonderful restaurants in the area was such a treat. Learning about the history was so interesting and fun. The Church Hill area of Richmond is rich with history and wonderful eateries and a fabulous wine shop. We enjoyed every minute of the tour. Benedict our tour guide was a gem.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for joining us Susan! Benedict said he had such a fun group on Saturday, and noted that you all were so interested in the history, too! - Brian, Discover Richmond Tours

So Delicious!!

Theresa_N, Jan 2023

My kids & I loved the Nile, their Ethiopian food was the best we’d ever had! The chef told us the recipes were curated by his mom. Each selection we tried was delicious & vegan. The chocolate croissants from Sub Rosa Bakery were sooo good; the owner showed us the ovens they use and explained the process they use. Our guide was amazing & we’ve already booked our next trip!

Wow Theresa, sounds like an awesome Sunday afternoon! Can't wait to see you again soon! - Brian

Thanks for joining us on Friday, Julie - I'm glad you had a good time! Let us know what we could have done even better! - Brian, Discover Richmond Tours

Excellent experience!

Sharon_V, Jun 2022

I have been on several culinary tours and this was one of the best! Our guide, Olivia, was very knowledgeable about the Churchill neighborhood. She knew her history and brought it to life with her passion. The eateries on this tour were small, family-type venues that showcased the flavor of the neighborhood. I heartly recommend this tour. Ask for Olivia and you won't be disappointed!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

That is excellent feedback Sharon! Would you believe your tour was Olivia's FIRST food tour with us?! - Brian, Discover Richmond Tours

Great Food & History Tour

Kristin_P, May 2022

We really enjoyed this tour. The food and wine we sampled were delicious and Brian was very knowledgable on the history of the area.

It was very expensive for...

Carmen_H, Apr 2022

It was very expensive for a 2 hour food tour that had 5 stops...all but one were stand outside stops. The final stop for a wine tasting where we tried 2 wines. The pour for the red wine was so embarrassingly minimal.... We have been to MANY wine tastings in Napa and Europe and there is always much more information offered as well as many more wines offered. Usually the tasting fee is waived if you purchase wine and I know that there were a number of us that purchased wine.

Fun food experience in Churchill

Suzanne_L, Apr 2022

A walk around Churchill with stops at a lively group of food entrepreneurs. It is the best of Churchill and does not disappoint. Kelsy was an engaged and knowledgeable guide.

Thanks for joining us, and glad we sorted out the ticket snafu that resulted from the third-party seller! - Brian, Discover Richmond Tours

Churchill Food Tour

Susan_B, Aug 2021

The food was good with a wide variety. The store owners that we met were very friendly and receptive. The tour is advertised as upscale but the neighborhood was unkept and trashy. That part was disappointing. Our tour guide was very friendly and informative.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Hi S., thanks for leaving your feedback! I'd love to know more about which part of Church Hill you thought was unkept and trashy - I cannot think of anywhere we visit that I would describe that way. I'll be reaching out! - Brian

Fun food tour!

Kara_D, Aug 2021

Our tour guide, Dilwyn, was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable about the area and restaurants. We enjoyed our tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun outing in Church Hill!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

So glad to hear it, K.!

First timer in Richmond

Jeanette_A, Nov 2020

Perfect way to see a small portion of Richmond. Casual, relaxed outdoor entertainment. I had a great time.

Excellent!

Rebecca_M, Dec 2019

The quality, quantity and variety in the tastings was outstanding! We brought food home with us, we couldn't eat it all! All of the restaurant proprietors were gracious and accommodating. The tour guide was engaging, interactive, interesting, knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour itself was interesting and fast filled. I recommend this tour highly!

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Glad to hear it, B.! I love when we send guests home full AND with dinner! - Brian
