John was a excellent guide and he has excellent detail and stories about local history. He mentioned how he curates the food and his choices were lacking in subtle flavors, nuance, and variety. Literally pretzels, corn dogs, cheese curds, pizza, an uninspired cheesesteak, whoopie pies, and a half of a vegan milkshake. Most left feeling stuffed beyond it being enjoyable. Most chatted about the lack of anything fresh. Zero veggies or fruit unless you count a tiny bit of arugula on a pizza. Disappointed after two amazing food tours in DC.

I was running late and the tour guide was supposed to meet up with my family she said she was coming and never came. I got a text message saying that we would not be able to do the tour. I was on the phone with her the whole time. I’m from Louisiana they never offer to reschedule or nothing. They refuse to give me my money back

Hello Tabitha. I am sorry you had this negative experience. We always try to accommodate a guest running late as best as we can, but we also must take the other guests' and guide's time into consideration as well. You were over 15 minutes past the tour start time and still had not arrived. However we absolutely offered you an opportunity to reschedule your tour for any time up to a year in the future, as we do for any guest in a similar situation. A tour could have been rescheduled for the next day. I hope you take us up on our offer and we have you on a tour in the future.
