Robert was an excellent tour guide. The food was delicious, especially the Korean dumplings, and we appreciated learning about the historical significance of the Eastern Market neighborhood. I would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hello Fiona, What a tasty experience you went on! I'm glad to hear you had a great tour guide with Robert and that the food was delicious. I'm glad you enjoyed the Korean dumplings and appreciated the historical significance of the area. Your recommendation for this adventure is greatly appreciated for our future adventure seekers. Thanks, Ryan

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 07, 2022 By: Teresa R

Very nice tour. Robert was our guide. Lots of walking but we don't mind that at all. I thought the food could have been more abundant in the restaurants. The service was quick when we went into the 4 restaurants and the tables were set already for our tour group. We did not feel rushed. If something was on the planned tasting menu, that didn't suit someone in our group, Robert was quick to find an alternative.

Little Ethiopia Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 31, 2022 By: Marcia R

Robert’s Capitol Hill food tour was terrific. We highly recommend.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 12, 2022 By: Brian R

We had a great time. Our guide, Robert, had a great personality and showed us a ton of different sights. The food choices were good and spread out so we weren’t stuffed. We would do another tour from this company.

Terry was a personable and informative guide. Restaurants were varied and food selections plentiful. Loved learning more Old Town history.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hello Paula, Glad to hear you had fun exploring the Old Town Alexandria Food Tour! I hope you found some new restaurants that you will return too.

Thanks, Ryan

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 17, 2022 By: Elizabeth H

The guide didn't get my food allergy (lactose intolerant) even though I entered it on the web site. Every stop (except the sweets) had cheese as a main part of the serving. The guide was gracious and did make an effort to change my serving; however, being the one person "different" at practically every stop was disconcerting.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hello Elizabeth, My sincerest apologies for the food allergy miscommunication! We strive to make this a smooth booking process from start to finish and disappointed that this did not occur for you. I hope you enjoyed learning about the neighborhood, history, and architecture of the area. I have passed your feedback to my team and appreciate the insight you offered on your experience. Thanks, Ryan

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 05, 2022 By: Jennifer W

The food tour was delicious and informative. Lynn, our guide, provided a fantastic historical perspective as well as lovely conversation along the way. The restaurants reflected different food styles in the area and offered substantial portions. We were lucky to have a small group, with one other well-traveled retired couple. That made for a really enjoyable time. We left full, happy, and smarter on Old Town, Alexandria!

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hello Jennifer, What an amazing experience you went on! Glad to hear that the food was delicious and the historical tour of Old Town Alexandria was fantastic. Having other guests that you hit it off with help make the experience memorable and really adds to the special event. Thank you for sharing your review with us for our future adventure seekers! Thanks, Ryan

Warm regards, Courtney

It was a lot of fun! Make sure to upgrade to the picnic for $10 instead of $35!

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Kyle, Sampling wine and enjoying a picnic lunch out in the vineyard sounds like an absolutely blissful way to spend your day! I am definitely very jealous! Thank you for recommending this upgrade for anyone who is interested in embarking on this tour in the future. All my best, Elizabeth

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 21, 2021 By: Stephen H

Great time. Learned a lot about the long history of this wine maker and how the wines are produced. Tasting included 9 different wines and the picnic after was nice. Try the sangria!

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Stephen! This wine education tour sounds lovely, I'm happy to hear you had such a great time! It's so impressive that this vineyard dates back to 1762, I can only imagine all the incredible facts you learned about such a long line of history. Enjoying a picnic along the Virginia countryside to culminate your wine tasting must have been the epitome of relaxation. I hope the sangria was as sweet as your review! All my best, Courtney

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 12, 2021 By: Edward R

The food tour was excellent! Our guide was pleasant, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable of the area. He guided us to each superb restaurant, giving us the history and folklore of Alexandria along the way!

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Edward! I am thrilled to hear that your guide was passionate and excited to share his expertise of Alexandria with you! Sounds like this tour not only provided your body with delicious food and drink, but also fed your mind with new stories and facts. I hope you will cherish your day in Alexandria for years to come! Cheers to you, Elizabeth

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 28, 2021 By: Theresa C

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Philip Carter winery. General manager Nora gave us a wonderful tour full of history and knowledge of the winemaking process. The wines could stand up next to any California or European wines, they had so much depth of flavor. The grounds were full of people just enjoying the perfect weather and the laid back, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Theresa, Wow! That truly sounds like the perfect day. Tasting delicious wines, learning about the winery’s history, and enjoying the nice weather sounds fantastic. Count me in! I have shared your compliments with Nora and her team since I am sure they would love to hear you enjoyed your day. Cheers to many more adventures! All my best, Elizabeth

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 02, 2021 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, Sophia

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 13, 2019 By: Shannon K

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, Inah

Cheers to great wine and great views!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 08, 2019 By: Mary A

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! Cheers, Inah

Robert was great and was very knowledgeable about DC's history. I learned a lot.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Roland, So glad we were able to satisfy your appetite for both great food and interesting history! Cheers to fun new memories in Georgetown! Best, Inah

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 05, 2019 By: Alan K

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! Warm regards, Inah

The staff at Phillip Carter was very informative and gracious during our tour. All we had to do was mention we were there due to a Cloud Nine gift from our son and away we went.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

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! Cheers, Inah

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 12, 2019 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! Warm Regards, Inah

Hi Elizabeth, That certainly sounds like a lovely way to spend a Sunday! I hope you learned new things to enhance your future wine experiences, and perhaps found a new hobby? Cheers, Inah

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 21, 2019 By: Molly A

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. I'll be sure to pass your feedback along as I know they are always looking to improve as well. Let us know if you feel like exploring another city with us! Cheers, Inah

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 11, 2019 By: Curtis S

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!

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 08, 2019 By: Karen D

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!

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Apr 29, 2019 By: Robin S

Very fun afternoon! Robert was terrific tour guide, made us all feel very comfortable with each other, the walking, in restaurants. Even though I once lived in DC and daughter goes to school there now I learned a lot about history of Georgetown -- very fun. Food on tour excellent choices.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Robin, What a great way to rediscover DC, I'll be sure to pass your compliments on to Robert! I hope your daughter found some new spots to re-visit and that you'll look back fondly the fun memories you created on this day! Cheers, Inah

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Happy to hear you enjoyed your tour!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 04, 2018 By: Andrea A

Good experience. My only constructive criticism: we would like the guide to improve the narrative of the tour. We felt like we were going to random restaurants without knowing why.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 28, 2018 By: Gina M

We had a great time. The wines are good, the setting is tranquil, and the winery staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 28, 2018 By: Jodi M

Pablo was a fantastic guide for our food journey through Alexandria. He met us on time and started our tour with a little historical background of the town. Through out the tour he took us not only to some amazing restaurants but he also stopped along the routes to tells us more about the history of the area and pointed out some pretty neat features.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 28, 2018 By: Katie D

Great tour with an engaging guide. Food options were varied and interesting, as well as filling. Definitely recommend!

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 28, 2018 By: Ken Z

Beautiful setting, knowledgeable hosts, good selection of flavorful wines We would recommend this to our friends

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 04, 2018 By: Elena S

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.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 04, 2018 By: Amy P

Great food, great guide! A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 04, 2018 By: Julie R

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!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 04, 2018 By: Kathleen A

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.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 07, 2018 By: Olga R

Overall the tour was interesting and well organized. However the food itself was not great. It was OK but nothing spectacular

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Olga, Thank you so much for submitting your feedback. I'm sorry that the food portion was not exactly what you had expected, but I'm glad that you still had a nice time. I will be sure to pass your feedback along to the tour company. Thank you again! Jennifer

Great time and loved that the guide was an architect and could speak in architectural terms. The food was good, the only exceptional thing we ate was the ravioli.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 27, 2017 By: Faith E

Great food with very large portions. Weather was great for walking. The walking experience was like one we had in Paris a few years ago. Washington, DC has many hidden gems for the locals / out of state visitors to explore. This experience is a great gift for any age group.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 08, 2017 By: Sandra Y

Our guide, Chris, was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable with any questions that were asked. The food was delicious at each stop and by the time the tour was over, we were stuffed. Will definitely be doing another booking with Cloud 9 Living!

Eastern Market Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 26, 2017 By: Laura S

I really liked the intimate feel of this tour and getting to know the people. The food was delicious and we learned a lot. The tour guide showed up right at the scheduled time, but since the instructions say to meet 15 min early, some of us were wondering if we were in the right place... it helps to at least have a sign or something.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Apr 04, 2017 By: Karen L

Very friendly guide. Fun experience.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Feb 07, 2017 By: Janine Y

This was a very creative and generous gift from some friends -- the gift of an experience! 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!

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jan 04, 2017 By: Susy F

Chris was such a good tour guide! We had the best time!

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 30, 2016 By: Christi S

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.

Little Ethiopia Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 14, 2016 By: Claudia G

It was a great time, highly recommend but come hungry because there is going to be A LOT of food.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 07, 2016 By: Robin B

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.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 03, 2016 By: Carol L

Very knowledgeable guide. The Norwegian salmon was out of this world! The final stop (for dessert) was a bit commercial, but the others were wonderful.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 03, 2016 By: Marie Z

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.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 22, 2016 By: PAMELA W

It was a sociable way to experience some Capitol Hill area eateries, along with learning some of the District's history. Andrew was a pleasant and friendly tour guide. Would recommend the food tour, especially to city visitors.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 02, 2016 By: Kristi B

It was a very enjoyable tour and a great way to try some different food and restaurants. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about the area as well. Go hungry....you will get a lot of food. I would highly recommend the tour.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 09, 2016 By: Deborah M

We enjoyed all the restaurants that we stopped at to eat. The staff at the restaurants were friendly, and we were seated quickly. Portion sizes of the food that we ate were good. We finished the tour satisfied.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 18, 2016 By: Rae F

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.

Chris was a fabulous guide -- friendly, knowledgeable, and with a good sense of the interests of his clients. I need to find out what other tours he gives!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 16, 2016 By: Adam B

Good selection of food, and plenty of it. Good mix of sightseeing, eating, walking, and getting a history lesson at the same time.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 31, 2016 By: Katrina G

My overall experience was GREAT. Lynn was an awesome tour guide with great knowledge of the town and restaurants we visited. She was a sweet and kind person. Every tour guide should be like Lynn. When we book our next event, we will definitely be requesting Ms. Lynn. Thanks for a great experience!

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 25, 2016 By: Catherine R

Our guide (Andrew) was wonderful! He was very animated and knowledgeable, and he made the experience fun for all of us.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 18, 2016 By: Michael D

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.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Apr 25, 2016 By: Maynard B

I personally don't think this was worth the price paid.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Apr 04, 2016 By: Brandi M

This was our first food tour and we had a great time! Our guide was fun and knew a lot of history about our town. We are definitely gifting this for Christmas!

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Mar 17, 2016 By: Jeanette Q

The guide was friendly and interesting. The booking agent was too. The tour listed online was not available after I had paid for it, but she gave me other suggestions and worked it out quickly and very well.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jan 19, 2016 By: Mat S

Had no idea what to expect about this event but it turned out to be fantastic. Booking was incredibly easy, and I heard back from a representative very quickly. 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.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 14, 2015 By: Nedra W

We really enjoyed it because it was something different. Although there was plenty of food, I didn't think it was extraordinarily fabulous except for the last place we went to.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 13, 2015 By: Tim F

I was highly impressed with the whole experience and would recommend it to friends and family. Our guide, Ryan, was so friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole experience even that much more enjoyable.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 06, 2015 By: Kristin D

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.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 05, 2015 By: Steven K

It was a lot of fun. Met new people, learned a little history, and had good food. Our tour guide did a nice job. Go hungry!

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 05, 2015 By: Chris R

Tour guide was exceptional, and I enjoyed the experience. Was especially good as winery was in harvest mode, so we got to see the vines packed full of grapes and taste them right off the vine.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 25, 2015 By: Helena A

Andrew was excellent. He is very professional, kind and knowledgeable about Georgetown. We enjoyed it very much.

U Street Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 14, 2015 By: Aaron M

Very enjoyable experience. Our guide (Susan) was very friendly and knowledgeable, and all the food was fantastic.

Eastern Market Tour Washington DC Gourmet 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).

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 26, 2015 By: Patricia C

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. Pabloâ€™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.

Eastern Market Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 31, 2015 By: Kristin D

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.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 27, 2015 By: Aaron M

Great experience. The food was fantastic, and our tour guide (Eric) was friendly and knowledgeable.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 27, 2015 By: Miles S

Not only did we have a good time, but our guide gave us a history lesson as well. Her knowledge was very extensive and covered the history of America as well as of the region. We would consider doing this again in another location.

U Street Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 27, 2015 By: Lisa M

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.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 24, 2015 By: Harinder S

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jennifer was friendly and very knowledgeable. She arrived late but I appreciated that she called everyone in the group to inform us of her delay. 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!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 17, 2015 By: Kyle B

The Capitol Hill Food Tour was a GREAT experience, enriched with history and delicious food!! The guide was very knowledgeable in both food and the DC history which enhanced the tour. This was a great way to spend an afternoon with history, food, drinks, and fun. Would definitely recommend this tour to the novice foodie in the DC area!!!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 12, 2015 By: Angharad E

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.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 27, 2015 By: Alicia V

Absolutely loved this food tour in Alexandria, VA. Our tour guide was awesome and the food was amazing! I would definitely do this again!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Feb 17, 2015 By: Bryan E

It was a great tour overall. We particularly enjoyed the pointing out of the historical buildings and the explanation of their stories. The only downside was how cold it was (our tour was in February).

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Feb 17, 2015 By: David S

We had a nice time and appreciated the flexibility of our guide.

Dupont Circle Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet 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.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 27, 2014 By: Annette P

We had wonderful weather, Alexandria was delightful, and the food was delicious. I expected to learn a little more about Alexandria. Our group was small which made the tour about three hours.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 15, 2014 By: Jerry W

Pablo with DC metro Food Tours was great. He knows the area well and provided us with amazing information about Old Town Alexandria, its history, the people who settled the town, and the current "hot spots." The restaurants selected on the tour were varied and offered excellent samples of their menus.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 13, 2014 By: Chris D

We had a great time walking aorund Old Town and eating at the local resturants. Katie was an excellent guide with tons of knowledge and made the whole day very fun.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Oct 07, 2014 By: Kim R

It was a gift and our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the area.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 23, 2014 By: Kathie S

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.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 09, 2014 By: Cory R

The guide Kayla was friendly and extremely informative. If I were to change anything it would be that the guests receive all individual portions at each stop.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 02, 2014 By: Mr A

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 Burwells

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Aug 21, 2014 By: John T

Jenna did a fantastic job! On time, friendly and obviously knowledgeable about restaurants in the area.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 29, 2014 By: Joanne A

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! Ralph & Joanne Andresen

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jul 22, 2014 By: Carol G

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.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet 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.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 23, 2014 By: Kelly M

This was our first experience at a winery. It was absolutely FABULOUS! Everything was as stated in the package deal. Very beautiful location and extremely nice employees! We would recommend this tour to others and especially the WINE!!

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jun 12, 2014 By: Yvette A

What would have been nice was to receive a listing of the historical sites/landmarks pointed out on tour so we could visit later and also a list of the restaurants we visited - again so that we could go back to them Thanks Sandra Fulton and Yvette Dietrich

Very enjoyable. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was very good.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 21, 2014 By: Jenny S

Our guide, Christopher Pitt was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood, food, and history. We came home with full stomachs and lots of information about the history of DC. Loved the pace of the tour, the restaurants selected for variety, and the quantity of the food. Will book another tour real soon.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 19, 2014 By: Melody I

I was offered this experience as a gift and was pleasantly surprised by the overall efficiency and professionalism of the staff when I decided to exchange my gift for another experience , I was able to do so easily and thoroughly enjoyed the choice I made, Thank you .

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Feb 06, 2014 By: John K

The Alexandria food tour was well planned, the group was friendly and congenial. tour guide was very knowledgeable, easy to talk with. overall lots of fun and great food. opened our eyes to some places we'd like to go back to. Since this was a gift, and we didn't pay, can't really address that aspect. but from my perspective, a very fun and worthwhile way to spend an afternoon.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 27, 2013 By: John S

This is a great intro to Alexandria. notbonly do you get a nice lttle food tour, you learn abiut the town.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Sep 30, 2013 By: Kathi H

We ended up being switched from the captial hill food tour to the Georgetown Food tour due to an event going on downtown. We had a fantastic time! Andrew, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Georgetown as well as the food and restaurants we were sampling. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Mar 19, 2013 By: Mark H

Very pleasant, up-beat, and knowledgeable guide.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Jan 02, 2013 By: Wendee W

Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and the food choices were very good. An excellent tour for out-of-towners and a fun tour for a local to do something a bit different.

Little Ethiopia Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Nov 28, 2012 By: Ron P

Our guide Christoper Pitt was knowledgeable about the food and was very informative about the culture. He was also very good at involving everyone in the conversations.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet May 22, 2012 By: Carol P

We really enjoyed the day. And would recommend this as a gift or just something to do to others. It was a fun day. We enjoyed the others on the tour with us and our guide Dina was just delightful.

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: William D

Good restaurants. Historical narrative was excellent, captivating and informative. Overall a great day. Old Town Alexandria is amazing for a food tour.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi William, Happy to hear we were able to send you out on a fun experience! I hope you made some great new memories along the way! Best, Inah

Old Town Alexandria Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Mary M

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.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

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. I'll be sure to pass your compliments and your feedback about the Pita House along, as we are always looking to improve our experiences. We definitely want to make sure every part of the experience is memorable in all the best ways! Warm Regards, Inah

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Kate R

Great experience! Would be nice if we had an opportunity to pick between 2 or 3 items at each place rather than having it all pre-selected for you...but otherwise great.

Capitol Hill Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Gail K

Our guide, Briana was excellent. Great personality and full of delightfully presented info, both about the architecture and history as well as the food. Having been on 2 NYC Food Tours, I expected several stops with tastings, and one sit down. I enjoyed all the stops but would have liked only one sit down and more tastings.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Peter F

Emily was a wonderful tour guide, her knowledge made the experience special.

Private Wine Education Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Jiae K

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.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Briggs R

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.

Georgetown Food Tour Washington DC Gourmet Dec 31, 1969 By: Debby B

Robert was a great guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the food was excellent.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hi Debby, That's just what we want to hear! Let us know whenever you want to out on another tour! Cheers, Inah
