My fiancé and I had a great experience! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the area. He was super flexible and was able to find great spots for us to check out, even though a lot of restaurants were closed due to the pandemic. I would definitely recommend checking out this tour while in DC.

The guide was excellent and gave a history of the neighborhood as well as the food. Walking was minimal. I do think it was a little pricey compared to other food tours we have taken given the amount of food we were tasting.
