| 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. |

| My parents and I took this tour while they were visiting me in DC, and we absolutely loved it! The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and she kept everyone upbeat even though the weather was not so nice. I could not believe the size of the portions - what a great value! Make sure you come to the tour hungry. All of the restaurant owners came out and said hi to us, which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this to friends, and I will be sure to take another food tour when I have other visitors in town. |

| Great Tour! History with food, archetecture with food, comedy with food and a great tour guide and even more food made this a first class experience. Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide made great sense of the maze of Capitol Hill. Her knowledge of the history of the area and of great local eateries made this the best city food tour I have been on. I recommend this to anyone that wants to have a fun afternoon in the Washington area. I couldn't believe that three hours could go by so quickly. Not to be missed!
P.S. Eat lightly before you go. The food was unique, and the portions were satisfying. |
