2.00A lot of Homeless living and hanging out there Locals seem Indifferent to it. No police presence. We can see what it had looked like at one time and what it could again be.

5.00Our food tour in Charlottesville was fantastic. I’ve done many food tours and this was one of my favorites. Our guide Rob was knowledgeable, interesting and very nice. The food tasting along the tour was excellent, and the walk through the “Mall” promenade was shade covered and easy to walk. Our 87 year old father who can’t walk fast or far, really enjoyed the tour and found the pace very easy for him. Each of us had our own favorite tasty bites, but each tasting experience was delicious . I would highly recommend this food tour if you’re visiting the Charlottesville area. Thanks Rob for a really nice time.
A yummy and fun afternoon!

5.00We had a wonderful afternoon with Amy, our guide, she is just one of those people that everyone enjoys being around. The food was varied, delicious and plentiful! Even though we're local, we learned historical facts we didn't already know and now have some new restaurants to add to our rotation!
Informative, Pleasant Food Tour with Variety of Choices

5.00Elisha was a fabulous tour guide! Our five restaurants were in a short walking distance. The portion sizes were small plate-fulls at each stop, great variety, and by the time we were finished we were completely full and didn't end up eating dinner! Elisha provided us with wonderful facts about Charlottesville, UVA, and The Mall area. The tour stops were well-timed and each restaurant was ready for us when we arrived! Favorite stops were Hamiltons, Tonic, and Bebedero!! Some of us opted to add cocktails, which were VERY Good! The cocktails at Tonic and Bebedero were the best! Recommend!!!
