This is a great way to experience downtown Roanoke and learn about its history and culture. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and connected with the community and was able to provide great information and recommendations.
We're so glad you enjoyed your tour experience. Thanks for the great review!
We had a great time learning the history of the downtown Roanoke area. We have been Roanoke many times but this was a first and we enjoyed seeing parts of the downtown area that we have not had the chance to explore. Larry was a great tour guide and the food was great! Recommend if you are in the area and would like something interesting to do.
Thank you so much for the great review.
A wonderful experience! Larry was a great tour guide and gave us a thorough history of Roanoke, including its architecture and train history. The food part of the tour was great - gave us lots of ideas for future restaurant visits. Well done!
So glad you guys enjoyed. Thanks for the great review.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the walking food tour in downtown Roanoke.Our tour guide, Bill, was very personable and easily held our attention as we walked the city. His knowledge of the area helped us to learn interesting facts about Roanoke; we highly recommend taking this tour. The food stops were a nice variety of different styles, offering a small taste of one menu item that allowed us to "graze" as we covered the three-hour walking tour.
Thank you for taking time to provide this review. And of course, we love a 5 Star review! We'll be certain to tell Bill about your experience.
What a GREAT experience! Ned was our guide and he was so fun and informative. Many in our group are from Roanoke and still learned a lot of the history. The foods we sampled at Hotel Roanoke, Billy's, Stock, Texas Tavern and Chocolate Paper were excellent. We finished the tour with a visit view of the city from the City in The Square Arts and Culture building. The walk is casual and gives one a great perspective of the downtown Roanoke area. PERFECT DAY!
We're so glad you enjoyed the tour. We'll be sure to let Ned know.
Great food and information about Roanokes history! Tour guide was excellent with a great personality!
If you’ve been considering this tour, stop hesitating, book, and go! And if you’re very lucky you will have Ned for your tour guide. I moved to Roanoke in May and this education and experience was exactly what I needed for myself, family, and friends when they visit. Would gladly take visiting friends on the tour in a couple of weeks, but sadly, no vacancy. So, I repeat, if you can get a reservation GO! You will love it.
Wow what a great review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us. We've passed along your review to Ned.
We stayed at the Black Lantern B&B, and this was an excellent choice. The hosts were very accommodating, the bedroom was very appealing, and breakfast was wonderful. Our daughter had her wedding reception at the Golden Cactus Brewery, and this venue was awesome. The craft beers were excellent, and the staff were all very helpful. Everyone had a great time while visiting the Golden Cactus Brewery.
Loved the tour!! The food selections were amazing. We also learned a lot about Roanoke and the local area in the process.
We're so glad you enjoyed your tour experience. Thanks for taking time to post a review.
