We ate some yummy food and learned some unique history of DC that isn’t as commonly known. We have done food tours in many cities across the US, Canada, and Europe, and this was probably our least favorite experience we have had - there was nothing bad, but we feel we have gotten more food options from other tours. It also didn’t feel as organized as other tours we have been on. We got chili cheese dogs at Ben’s chili bowl and a bag of ruffles chips. Then we next stopped over an hour later at an Ethiopian restaurant, which was delicious but maybe an awkward choice for a food tour, since we eat the injera with our hands and there was one serving for our group to share. A bit strange for everyone’s fingers to be on the food that we are all eating! Then we finished with a delicious pastry dessert and then went next door for some Indian ice cream. We are glad we did the tour, as we did learn some new info and got to explore an area of DC that isn’t part of the main tourist areas of the city. Our just, Vanessa, was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Hi there! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to review your experience. I'm sorry that you felt it was not as organized as other tours you have been on; that's not feedback we receive often, so it does give me pause. Our goal on is to share the history and evolution of the neighborhoods we visit through food. Each of our selected tastings contributes to the story and is connected to the history or the people there. We only visit locally owned restaurants who we are committed to supporting. U Street has such a varied and uniquely DC history, and Vanesa is a fabulous guide; we are lucky to have her! Thank you for getting off the beaten track and exploring with us!

Really enjoyed the pastelitos at Colada Shop. Highly recommend you try the guava cheese ones. Fun way to spend an afternoon. Our guide Vanesa was very personable.

Jenn was a great guide who balanced the history of this interesting area and stories with delicious food. The tour was relaxed and well paced with just enough food, and time to chat with her and others on the tour. We particularly enjoyed the famous hotdogs, and the Ethiopian experience. We would highly recommend this tour.
