Our group of eight took the food tour in April, 2013. This activity was part of a family reunion in Williamsburg. Our tour guide, John, was very personable and informative. We had more food than we could ever possibly eat in that time period! One of the highlights was the tour of the college and the Wren Building. We all... More

We had a wonderful afternoon eating our way around the Merchants Square and touring William & Mary College with our guide, John. John was quite personable and knowledgeable about the area and even the recipes. While the tour was more expensive than one we had done in another city, these portions were ample (as well as delicious) and we didn't... More

My husband and I went on this tour using a Groupon. It was fun to go to the different places but it is definitely not worth the price. I feel that even with the groupon, I overpayed.

My wife and I had a fun time walking around with 4 other couples on a sunny January day with our very nice tour guide. He took us to several stores and taught us a lot about the area and the food. We had a ball and would highly recommend this tour to others. Try to go in the winter... More

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, John, was wonderful. He was personable, entertaining and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the other couples on the tour and the food was excellent.

We bought this through Groupon and I was disappointed. In our opinion, calling this a "food tour" is being generous. It started with booking and a mysterious $5 per person "tax". Hmm. It seemed fishy to me, but I didn't want my Groupon to go to waste, so I booked anyway. We started at a candy store. Each of us... More

Purchased this thru Groupon. When I booked it online I was charged tax on the full retail value and not the half price value. How is it he can charge tax on a service and other service providers can't. Just on products. I scheduled for a Friday but on the Wednesday just before I needed to reschedule for the Sunday... More

While subjective, calling me a "cheat" is a personal attack and has no grounds to be listed here. Moreover, this person did not take the tour. We have had more than 600 customers take one of our tours, and this person was the most rude. We work with our guests to accomodate and reschedule even if they cancel within 48... More

The Collegiate and Colonial tour was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The stops were well thought out with every other stop being a sit-down place where a specific food was brought out just for us with the other stops being at shops that had samples that anybody could go in and try. It would have been nice... More

I have been to Williamsburg several times to visit my friend who lives here. We purchased the Groupon to have the experience of tasting food in Merchant Square. The Groupon was $43 and when you make the reservation online, there is an additional charge of $5 for tax per person and they ask for a tip of $8 per person... More

My husband and I had a groupon and looked forward to the DOG street tour. Unfortunately, we were told that because it was a crazy busy weekend, we would not be able to have the mac and cheese at Blue Talon. Bummer. Then we went to the first restaurant, Seasons, and were turned away due to gas leak. Our poor... More

I don't know why this person even wrote a review without going on the tour first, or why TipAdvisor allows this to be posted. I can't fathom what would motivate a person to write a review without first going on it. That afternoon, Seasons had a gas leak. The Blue Talon had a sewage leak. On the same day. Perhaps... More
