Arts District Food Tour FAQs

How does this tour compare to the others?

Our Arts District Food Tour involves more walking than in Carytown and about the same as Church Hill. Guests will sit at most stops we make, and there are no full flights of stairs to navigate. Compare all our tours here.

How much food is provided?

Small samples are provided by each of our food partners. We prefer to emphasize quality over quantity, but for most people, there is enough food for a full meal. You certainly won’t want to eat immediately before or after the tour!

What if it rains? What if it’s cold outside?

The tour goes on! We can eat inside, but consider bringing an umbrella for walking between stops in wet weather. If the weather is unsafe, the tour will be modified or cancelled and appropriate considerations regarding refunding/rescheduling will be taken.

Can I book a private tour outside of regular tour times?

Yes, private tours are available just about every day of the week! For more information or to get in touch with us about a private tour, check out our Private Tours page!

Are gift cards available?

Yes, indeed! And they’re super easy to use. Find more information on our gift cards page.

“Connects tour-goers with people and soul of Richmond. Do it, you’ll love it!”
