Thanks to Neka the best tour guide I ever had so far successfully done the best guided tour I ever had in Georgetown at Washington DC. Since the beginning of the tour, she flawlessly engaged Us introducing herself by sending a text message to keep us engaged with her, introduced herself in a particular way where she introduced about her likes and hobbies while successfully integrated the group by asking about the other couples' hobbies. Through the entire tour Neka from Blue Fern Travel kept us interested everything related to Georgetown history to include The Market, the town's people contribution to the history of Washington DC and Georgetown 180 miles canal information. Along with the food experience, which was awesome, I would like to let know the Blue Fern Travel team I am willing to do it again with the same tour guide, Neka. Thank you for an astonishing experience.
