| The Capitol Hill Food Tour provided an excellent opportunity to sample a variety of different restaurants in the Capitol Hill area (Indian, Salvadorian, southern soul food, etc.). The tour was VERY well mapped out and provided an excellent overview of the history and legacy within the Capitol Hill area of DC. Our guide was well versed in her knowledge of both the cuisine and history, and was very responsive to the group's questions, comments, etc. The portion sizes at each restaurant were well worth the money and the amount of walking in between each stop was perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, history, or just wants to experience something new and different. I can't wait to try out one of the other tours this group offers! Overall, this was an amazing culinary experience! |

| I took my parents out for my Father's birthday and we had a lovely time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and led us through parts of Capitol Hill I never knew existed. The food was very good, too. Walking was a perfect way to break up the meals. |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this guided walking tour of old Capitol Hill neighborhoods. Combining history, architecture and diverse food experiences with an easy outdoor stroll was a highlight of our week-long visit to Washington, DC. It is the perfect antidote to days spent indoors touring museums and uninspired cafeteria dining. We especially enjoyed the soul food barbeque and Natalie, our charming knowledgeable guide. |

| This tour was not what we would consider a good culinary experience. In fact, we would never choose to go to these restaurants outside of the tour. The first Indian restaurant seemed good until we saw a giant cockroach run across the floor. The second and third restaurants were dirty and not appealing. "Culinary experience" implies somewhat high-end to us. This wasn't even close. It was low-end, and we would never go on a tour by this company again. Unfortunately, the history in this region was also quite boring and nothing that we were interested in. All around it was a waste of time and money. |

| My sister and I signed up for this tour thinking it would be fun and different and it definitely was! Our guide, Sarah, knew a lot about the city and neighborhood. We were surprised how much history was around us. She warned us about it being a lot of food and that we should pace ourselves...we were stuffed! But only in a good way so we definitely recommend this tour to anyone who's looking for an easy-paced tour with great food. |

| The guide was amazing, she had lots of interesting things to say about the neighborhood where we walked. We went to three resurants and then a place for dessert. The food was excellent and different then what I would have tried by myself. Indian, Salvadorian and a soul food resturant ensured that you would not have the same thing twice. No ordering, the food just comes to you shortly after you arrive. The guide describes the food, than you eat and move on to the next stop. What an incredible way to spend the day. |

| Walking food tour is a great way to get your feet wet in a new city with unfamiliar surroundings. Highly recommended. The only reason I didn't give the Capitol City tour an "enthusiastic" thumbs up is because the food offered on this particular tour pales in comparison to the samplings offered on the Greenwich Village tour in NYC. |

| Such a great way to visit a specific area and a get a feel for the area and food. I am local, but it would also be a great activity for out of town visitors. |
