Washington DC Date Night

By: Tanya C
Jennifer Oh did a great job taking us on a culinary journey around the Capitol Hill section of DC. She shared lots of history and really knew the area well. Her relationship with the restaurant owners and menus was invaluable. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed mixing and mingling with the other people on the tour. We are excited to try tours in other cities.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi there, Tanya!
I'm so happy to hear that your tour was so amazing!
We can't wait to share with Jennifer how much her wisdom of the neighborhood meant to you. I'm sure she will love the kind words. It's always so nice to really have the inside scoop on, and I'm glad that you got to experience that first-hand!
Thanks for sharing.
Best,

It was a beautiful location and we lucked out with weather so late in the fall. The tour part was brief, but interesting, and we ended up sampling 4 whites, 3 reds, 1 dessert white, 1 port, and a wine-infused chocolate (also in their gift shop) all on top of the little picnic basket they had prepped for us afterwards which included a choice among 4 cheeses (we did a 4 person tour so each couple got one block of a flavor of cheese which we shared), each basket had a summer-sausage in it, along with two sleeves of ritz crackers, two tabs of Dove dark chocolate, wine glasses and a picnic blanket--although we sat at one of the picnic benches; there is also corn-hole/beanbag toss games set up onsite. Wine you can purchase for your picnic separately either by the glass or bottle, and at the end of the tour we got a complementary wine glass to take home for each of us. Their shop also has really neat recycled parts of wine barrels, either for you to purchase to turn into your own crafts or pre-made into decor or furniture. Overall a really enjoyable way to spend an afternoon! There's a little nearby town (The Plains) with a farmers market, a couple antique shops, tea shops, etc., which was fun to do after the event.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Shannon,
Oh wow, my mouth is watering! Really, I am so excited to hear about your experience and I appreciate you taking the time to write in with such detail. You've painted such a lovely picture and this experience is definitely at the top of my list. A crisp fall day, taking in the vineyard sites with a picnic basket bursting with goodies - what more can you ask for? I hope we can get you out on another great adventure soon!
Warm Regards,

My friend purchased me a specific experience but when I went to schedule it, I was told. That experience was not going to run for six months. I gave the customer service representative a date and asked what was available for that date, and he quickly provided me a list of alternative experiences available for that date. I chose one and it was booked almost immediately. Great customer service and fun tour!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for writing in! I know it wasn't the original tour you had in mind, but I so appreciated your flexibility and understanding - I'm thrilled to hear you still enjoyed your day out in DC! Let us know when you feel like getting out on another fun adventure!

Food was great and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the area. But there was almost no interaction with the restaurant owners or staff. It would have been better if we knew more about the food and why they served us what they did.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Alan,
Thanks you for taking the time to write in about your experience! While I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour for the most part, with regards to the guide, the historical aspect, and the food itself, I can understand wanting to know even more information about the establishments. We greatly value all customer feedback, and I'm sure our tour partners would agree, and I'm more than happy to pass your notes along so we can work on making our experiences even better! We look forward to getting you out on another fun adventure!

Hi Christy,
I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your day at the winery, and that it went off without a hitch. We've been partnered with them for a number of years, because we know they'll always provide an unforgettable experience and that they'll take great care of our customers. I hope this trip inspired you to try out new wines!

By: Ashleigh B
We were originally signed up for the Capitol Hill food tour but it was cancelled due an emergency with the tour guide. We moved to the Old town Alexandria tour and enjoyed our time. Personally, I think the history and walking tour portion was better than the food selected.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Ashleigh,
So glad to hear from you! While I'm happy to hear you found the tour enjoyable, I will definitely be passing on your feedback regarding the food to our partners, as that aspect should shine as much as the educational aspect of the tour.
I'd also like to extend our thanks to you for being so flexible and understanding in having to switch your tour. I have added a $15 voucher to your account that you can use towards future bookings, should you wish to go on another adventure!

DC Gourmet Lunch Cruise
Washington DC Date Night
Sep 03, 2019
By: Keagan C
The lunch cruise in DC was wonderful! Great service, excellent food, and awesome views. The tide was too high to go the usual route so we only saw half of the landmarks on the agenda, but it was still beautiful out on the water and we enjoyed a romantic day. Be prepared to pay $25 to park in the closest garage (as is typical with DC) if you’re driving.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi there!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
I am so happy to hear that despite some tricky navigation due to high tides, the cruise was still an absolute win! We are so glad that the atmosphere, food, and sights made for a stellar day out on the water.
Parking costs can sure be a nuisance, but it sounds like the amazing time you had was worth every penny! Let us know when you're ready for another adventure!
Best,
Sophia

The food was good and a nice variety. The history tour was satisfactory, but not great. I didn't come away learning a ton about Georgetown. I would be willing to try another tour. I have been on a lot of historical tours so I had a lot to compare it to.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Molly Ann, Thanks for taking the time to write in about your experience! I understand that for a tour connoisseur such as yourself, expectations are quite high, and I'm sorry to hear our guides weren't able to impart new knowledge on this one.

Guide was great, but it should be noted that limited parking is available. Why not meet at a parking garage. Also ticket said 4 to 5 stops...we did three. Since most of these are probally gifts it should be noted that it's a walking tour.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hi Curtis,
Thank you for taking the time to write in about your experience. Our goal is to create wonderful new memories, and I'm sorry to hear we disappointed you on that aspect. Our listings reflect the information we receive from our tour partner and I apologize that the experience was not as advertised.
As you noted, we are primarily in the gifting space, and I understand that you may not have had all the information that the purchaser had at their disposal, including that this is a walking tour. I'd be happy to review our listing with our product team to ensure that you, and other gift recipients, have the best information available.
While I know future improvements wouldn't affect your since-passed tour, we'd love to get you out an adventure that may be more to your taste! I have placed a $50 voucher in your account that can be used towards a future experience if you ever wish to give us another try!
Warm regards,

I highly recommend this tour! And I'm a local to the Old Town Alexandria area, and this was such a fantastic and fun afternoon over the 4th of July weekend. The walking tour was just the right amount of walking and getting into FABULOUS restaurants! Landini Brothers was an amazing pasta dish, the combination of foods was super fun. The Fire House was historical significance too. Loved the mediterrean tapas experience. Through it all, our guide Mike was knowledgeable, personable, engaging and perfectly suited for this special role. Thank you for a great Experience!

We had a great time on the river cruise and tour of Mt. Vernon. The cruise was very pleasant with a nice guided tour of the landmarks along the river. The grounds of Mt. Vernon are beautiful. We highly recommend the exhibit on slavery ("Lives Bound Together").
The experience itself was extremely well-run. Everything was on time and it was nice to not have to worry about planning the tours ourselves.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Sounds like you had a great, informative cruise and tour. Mt. Vernon is a beautiful place with such rich history. I'm glad you went and wrote in about your experience.

Very large group. Food was ok, but nothing special. The guide found it difficult to tell an exciting story. He had limited knowledge on food/ restaurant scene in Alexandria / DC. Seemed knowledgeable on history, but visitors were not too interested in it. Large group/ large table made it difficult to hear the guide.

This tour was a great way to spend an afternoon with my sister, who was visiting from California. Adreanna was our tour guide on a cold, brisk Virginia day. Our group consisted of three retirees, one semi-retired person, and four American University undergraduates. Adreanna was able to relate to all of us. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting bits of history and anecdotes about the city of Alexandria. The walking tour stopped at four restaurants, all new to me, and the dishes served were both filling and very good. There was no need for dinner that evening!

The tour guide for the Capitol Hill Food Tour was great! Joe was informative, friendly and thoughtful with the people on the tour. The food was very good. I especially liked the Belgium beet ravioli and the Greek food. The El Salvadorian food was also good, but could have been served hotter. We also had a minor problem in that a waiter at the Belgium restaurant kept the change (less than a dollar) from a bill for soda. The gratuity was included in the bill. That was presumptive on his part. Overall, I would definitely do this tour again with this company.

We had a delightful afternoon of learning some interesting facts of the area and tasting some delicious food! Great balance between walking and eating. Andrew was an excellent guide -- friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. One suggestion would be to have a little more info about the food for foodies. For example: ingredients, cooking methods used, region originates from, etc. Overall a wonderful experience! We will do it again and bring friends!

My husband and I did not know what to expect as we redeemed our gift certificate for a private wine education tour and tasting, but were pleasantly surprised! Even though we did not visit at the optimal time for winery tours (late November), our guide, Lindy, made it all worthwhile. So much so, in fact, that we plan to go back before we are transferred from this area of the country.

The tour guide for the Capitol Hill Food Tour was Chris. What a doll! Not only was he personable, but his knowledge of the history of DC was incredible. I grew up 10 miles from where we took our tour and didn't know any of the history that he imparted to us. He was friendly with everyone in the group and was great to my 82-year-old mother. I would love to take another of Chris' tours, and have already looked at the Cloud 9 Living website to find other tours to take.

We would suggest one thing. We had no dietary restrictions but felt that two dishes were TOO salty: the mushroom taco and the spinach crepe. All other food tasted great, especially the Korean restaurant, our favorite. Our guide was very friendly and lots of fun. The desserts were yummy but there was no reserved seating which was awkward.

Our history and tasting tour of Old Town Alexandria was fantastic, and we would recommend the experience to anyone --- especially those who might question whether or not this type of adventure is right for them. It was an interesting, fun, and delicious afternoon in a beautiful city with something for everyone. Our tour guide, Gerson, was very knowledgeable about Alexandria and outlying areas. He provided a well-paced, seamless experience, interesting historical information with photos and handouts, and a few funny factoids only a local would know. We visited four tasty eateries, and we were so stuffed --- we were happy to have such a fantastic city to walk it off. Many thanks to Gerson who answered all our questions and gave us great ideas to try with the time we had left in the city. We look forward to future Cloud 9 Living experiences.

The private tour at the Philip Carter Winery was excellent. We were escorted through the vineyards by the wine maker himself and were provided with a very informative and interesting view of wine production in America, Virginia and at Philip Carter in particular. The private tasting that followed was one of the best that we have experienced. Our hostess for the tasting was very knowledgeable and entertaining! We loved everything about this experience.

We had a small tour group, but I think that worked out very well. We were able to all get to know each other. Our tour guide, Eric, was really knowledgeable. It was a great event, and I've already recommended it to others.

My husband and I had a great time and learned some interesting facts about the area. Because it was off the beaten path, it was something that I don't think you would get from a bigger tour of DC. The pace was very relaxing -- you didn't feel rushed while at any of the restaurants. Now that we've been introduced to the area, we plan to go back on our own and enjoy it with friends and family.

Eastern Market Tour

Sep 02, 2015
By: Stephanie K
Our guide, Eric Olinsky, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and good at herding a group of not-young people around Eastern Market on a hot day -- not easy given the small space and crowds. He did very well at relating to each of us individually, and smoothly switching from that to leading the group and giving us facts and history. We were given a lot of good food, though one of the group was vegetarian and many of our samples contained or were meat. The only thing we didn't get that I believed was going to be part of the tour was a half-smoke, though we did get some excellent roast beef. The cold water bottles distributed at the tour's beginning were appreciated. We two are 15-year residents of DC suburbs and learned a lot from the tour. It was given as a gift to us from one of our children, and it was a good combination of food (for my husband) and history and facts (for me).

Pablo (our tour guide) was very personable, well-spoken and knowledgeable about the Alexandria area. The chosen restaurants were top-notch and all the food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the salmon with chorizo and succotash, ravioli, and choices of desserts. Pablo’s knowledge of the area was superb, and it was enlightening to hear about the history of residences and public areas. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to going on another one soon, as combining history of the area and great food is a delicious combination.

We enjoyed the tour very much. Eric was very personable and knowledgeable and willing to help beyond the tour topics, with information about DC. I would suggest a few things. Introducing the group to each other would be nice because it is such a small group and you send time eating together. We were worried about finding the guide. It wasn't very clear how to find him or her and the meeting place was on a busy street corner. I'm not real worried about germs but if you were, not having individual servings of food or even toothpicks for some of it would definitely be a turn-off.

Our tour was changed a day or two in advance from U Street to Dupont due to some scheduling concerns on the part of the U Street restaurants. Understandable, and the transition from one tour to another was easy for us. On the tour itself, Sam was great -- very personable and knowledgeable. Explained a lot of history that even DC'ers weren't familiar with. All the stops were fantastic and friendly (and delicious). I'm pregnant, and Sam was cognizant of the amount of walking we were doing and kindly explained to me how much more we could expect towards the end of the tour. Really great experience. I would consider trying it again with friends or out of town visitors.

She was able to field most questions and bring her knowledge to bear on them. I thought the tour was very well structured -- punctuating visits to restaurants with walks around the area and historical information. For someone who is new to DC, it opened my eyes to this district. Informative and entertaining (and yummy!). Fantastic. Keep it up!

This was neither a good food tour, nor a good tour of an area. The information that the guide had about the area was pretty superficial, and she gave next to no information about the restaurants or the food. There was no excitement about the restaurants or food --- in fact they seemed like an afterthought. They were very badly-chosen and did not represent the quality of food and restaurants I know to exist in DC and around Capitol Hill. We walked up and down 8th Street, past some really exciting and cool places, and then went to the most generic and down-at-heel places for food tastings. It was very disappointing.

Dupont Circle Food Tour
Washington DC Date Night
Dec 17, 2014
By: Todd P
We were very disappointed in the Dupont Circle Food Tour. There were 6 of us that booked this tour, and the restaurants and information were quite disappointing. First we thought we would be taken to great restaurants that actually have some history or roots in Dupont Circle. What we got was 2 restaurants in hotels with very unsatisfactory food, and a Mediterranean store where we tasted olive oil and felt pressured to buy stuff. The only saving grace was the last Jewish deli that was really good and actually had Dupont Circle roots. When we were taken to these places, we were seated and given a small plate of food and that is it. The guide did not inform us of why this particular food or restaurant was chosen. In-between places we were given some history, but not much and you could barely hear him as it was loud, and most of the time he never faced us. If we are to purchase these tours I would expect a little more knowledge and restaurants that have some significant history in the city. We would not do this again nor recommend it to anyone. Very disappointed as the other 4 people we were with are friends that I asked to come on this tour. Thank you.

The overall experince was very good. However, we were not impressed with the last restaurant/bakery on the tour named Bittersweet. The quality of the desserts was not worthy of a food tour. Others in the group felt the same. Also, the advertisement for the tour stated that we would be visiting a few ethnic restaurants such as Greek, Lebanese,Thai, but most of our venues, although very good, were American fare. A little more variey would have been nice.

It was a lot more fun than we thought it would be. The guide gave a bit of history mixed in with the wine making process. The snack/lunch was MUCH better than the kayak trip lunch.
The tasting was personal - actually the overall experience was very personal and quite pleasant without any of the pretension that we've experienced at other wineries.
Lovely time - thanks Carter Philip winery and especially Ben, our tour guide!

The location, the quality of the food, the knowledge and personality of the guide and the size of the group were perfect for the occasion.
Old Town Alexandria has a lot of history, the architecture is great and the ability to walk to every location in a reasonable matter of time and ease was definitely worth the trip.
Add the quality of the all the dining experiences, this was a great day! The planning of having the first meal a full meal, with the following 2 experiences light tastings and the last stop a dessert satisfier was well done. All the dining experiences were of top quality and the different settings and styles made each stop a new and fun adventure. And, the friendly/efficient vendor service was great! We'd recommend all the establishments to others. The settings were not rushed and Chris, our guide, provided great insights at each place as well as facilitating interesting conversation among the attendees.
Chris was the topping that brought the food tour together. Immense knowledge of the local history, characters and architecture mad the journey from each vendor to the next as enjoyable as the meals themselves. Plus, his sense of humor and his ability to generate conversation with each of the attendees plus encourage conversation among ourselves was more than we expected.
A great experience!

Ben was a very knowledgable tour guide at Philip Carter Winery. There was a very large group of people there for a tasting and we thought we were going to be with all of them. But then our private guide paged us and took us on a behind the scenes tour of the winery starting in the cellar, explaining the process of wine making and the concept behind all the different types of barrels sourced from around the world. Then, we got a tour of the vinyards, with a great horticultural lesson about the saplings and the grafting of two species together to make the vines look the way they do. We then proceeded inside for the tasting where we sampled many wines, including some that were not on the list (we felt VIP). After it was over, we had our free picnic lunch outside on the benches in front of the vines, along with Burt, the cat. All in all, it was an exceptional experience. They ran out of wine glasses to give us our two free glasses, but we are told they will be mailed free of charge to us later this week. Thumbs up from both my husband and myself.

This being my first experience with this site, I wasn't sure at all what to expect. That being said, I couldn't be happier having done it. Gourmet food, top notch jazz band, mimosas on the outside deck while taking in the sites, this cruise had it all. The staff were absolutely friendly and seemed genuinely interested in providing a good time for all. Perfect for family (I took my grandmother), couples, friends, maybe even strangers. If you're on the fence, just go for it. You won't be disappointed.
Georgetown Food Tour
Washington DC Date Night
Jul 08, 2014
By: Brian C
The food tour of Georgetown far exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Sandy, was awesome. We had a 2-year old child with us, and Sandy went out of his way to make sure that the restaurants had appropriate space for us, and arranged for high chairs etc where possible. He even offered to help my wife carry our stroller at one point, which was way above and beyond the call of duty. It was really great, and helped a lot, because we knew that this might not be the best activity for a two-year old child, but could not find a babysitter. Sandy was incredibly friendly, and professional, and did a great job of explaining the various sites around the neighborhood.
We live very close to the tour area, but had never been to two of the restaurants on our tour, and they both turned out to be great (Neyla and Paolo's), and we will definitely return. The third restaurant - J Paul's, was probably our least favorite in terms of food, because they really did not provide enough for the size of our party. The charcuterie and cheese board with olives and bread was only sufficient for a party half our size. There were a number of items on the board that we did not get to try because there simply was not enough to go around. The other restaurant that provided a family style service, Neyla, did a much better job of making sure that there was enough for everyone to try. As you can see from our rating, this did not detract from the overall experience, but at least from my perspective, if you are thinking about switching the restaurant rotation, J Paul's might be a good choice to switch up, at least based on our experience there.
Anyway, we can't say enough great things about Sandy, he was awesome, and really made everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

The brunch presentation and variety was very good with many hot and cold dishes to choose from.
The staff was efficient and friendly.
We enjoyed the band and took advantage by dancing to their repertoir of music.
The only thing that was not quite clear on the reservation was exactly which ship we were on. We went from the Odyssey to the Pride of Washington and back to the Odyssey where we were booked. Perhaps I missed something?

We recieved a $150 gift certificate last year. We booked a whale watching trip that got rained out. It was easy as pie getting our refund. However, last week my wife said our gift certificate was about to expire. I said no way, how could anyone have the balls to just take someones money like that? I pulled up my account and sure enough: expires June 20. We booked a local trip, and enjoyed it. But what about the $20 left on our gift certificate? Will I get it back or the purchaser of the gift? Your customer reps are great; your expiration date is just sad.

Lynn, our guide, was fun, informative and added a lot to the experience. The food was great at the Landini Restsurant and Columbia Firehouse. The Pita House, however, had potential, but the food seemed as if they plated it early and it sat under a hot lamp for a bit. It didn't compare to the other venues.

Hi Mary, Thank you for taking the time to write in about your experience! A great tour guide is a must for tours such as this and I'm glad to hear Lynn served you well.

Potomac River Cruise to Mt. Vernon

Dec 31, 1969
By: Anne B
The boat is lovely, climate controlled, with coffee and snacks and a non intrusive narration. It was on time going and coming. We enjoyed Mt. Vernon even though it was eighth grade field trip day and our tour of the mansion was right in the middle of hundreds of children. I don’t know if that could have been avoided.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Hey Anne,
I'm glad to hear you survived field trip day! I'll look into whether it is a possibility for Spirit Cruises and the Mt. Vernon Estate to share calendars in order to give future customers a head's up. That's wonderful that the 8th graders didn't get in your way of having a wonderful day on the water and at Mt. Vernon, though.
Thanks for your time and have a wonderful rest of your week!
Best,
Brooke

The experience started a little rough with our reservation not being in the system. However, the person who greeted us took care of the situation and just added us to an already scheduled tour. The tour itself was informative and entertaining. The wine tasting itself was great, with a lot of very good red and white wines.

Our tour guide was wonderful! She was kind, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We had a great time.
The only issue I had was the many steps needed to confirm the date and time. I didn't like that I had to call in order to find out if there were openings for the time and date I wanted. It worked out, but it took more work than most booking companies require.
