5.00What a delightful evening. There wasn't a building, a restaurant, a historical event, a food dish or a local Richmond person that Taylor didn't have a story about. Nonstop chatter between delightful food. Truly a great way to learn more about Richmond and for our group of friends to enjoy each other's company. I would recommend it!

5.00Taylor was a great tour guide! I came by myself and she went out of her way to check on me and to get to know me, while also connecting with other members of the group Taylor was really knowledgeable about Richmond and what all of the food was and what was in it. I’d definitely do another tour with Discover Richmond if I am ever back in Richmond.
Fun and food!
