Quick Details
Alexandria, Virginia sits just across the river from DC but Old Town feels far removed with its cobblestone streets and charming rowhomes. When visiting DC, we always suggest that people take the time to explore this little nearby gem! It’s easy to arrive by car, rideshare, Metro, or even by Water Taxi.
Enjoy tastings from locally-owned restaurants which contribute to the story we share about this little slice of Northern Virginia. Along the way we will visit a classic spot that has been a mainstay for over 40 years; a restaurant with award-winning dishes, and classic bistro with European roots.
Explore the pretty streetscapes, the waterfront, pubic art pieces, and the architecture while you learn about the evolution of this small city from your insightful guide. From the Civil War to Civil Rights to present day, Old Town has played an instrumental part in this country’s history. Come and get a taste of history.
In addition to carefully selected tastings and fascinating history, your experience includes (electronic) photos taken by your guide on tour, as well a meaningful donation to feed a local person in need.

My mom and I did the Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, food tour and absolutely loved it. Our tour guide, Jenn, was excellent! We went to restaurants around Alexandria, while also learning about the city from Jenn who was very informed and fun. Highly recommend!
– Nicholas W. | GoogleWe have been to Alexandria before but we have never done a tour. We couldn’t believe all of the hidden gems we learned about on this tour. We were able to see Alexandria in a completely different way! Everything about this tour was well planned and timed just right. We didn’t feel rushed or hurried between stops. We loved that we were able to eat outside at carefully chosen places with historical significance. The tastings were delicious and we learned many interesting tid bits of history about Alexandria as we went from stop to stop.
