Description
Discover the charm of Alexandria, just across the river from DC. Join us to learn about the evolution of the neighborhood on our history-infused walking food tour. Taste, tour, and explore!
Alexandria, Virginia sits just across the river from DC but Old Town feels far removed with its cobblestone streets and charming row homes. When visiting DC, we always suggest that people take the time to explore this little nearby gem! It’s easy to arrive by car, ride share, Metro, or even by Water Taxi.
Meet your guide and the rest of the group at your first restaurant stop where you'll learn what to expect during the tour. After enjoying your first tasting, follow your guide along the tour route, designed to highlight the historical importance of Old Town Alexandria.
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, public 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.
End the tour at the last restaurant stop, where your guide will be happy to provide tips about how to spend the rest of your day or assist in helping you find your way to your next activity.
A portion of each ticket is donated to bread for the city, a charity that provides services to DC locals including providing food, clothing, and legal and medical services.
