Capitol Hill Food Tour Reviews - continued

I bought this tour as a mother's day present, and we had a fantastic time! The food surpassed my expectations, and it was great to see parts of DC that I had not yet explored as a local. We met really interesting people in our group, and our guide Christian helped facilitate that camaraderie. Lovely sights, cool restaurants - would highly recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic Capitol Hill tour! Chris, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made our tour that much more spectacular. The food was delicious Ð we particularly enjoyed the Indian Pakistani Strant. It was just enough walking, information/history, and food to satisfy the masses. Would recommend this tour without reservation.

Andrew was our tour guide and he did a fabulous job! Highly recommend him. He had great knowledge of the history and architecture of the area, along with the four restaurants we visited. The food was very good, with large portions. Do not eat before tour, you would be sorry and you really won't want to eat after either. A very good adventure for sure. Walking shoes a must and camera. We had a perfect weather day. We will probably do another food tour on our next trip back to DC. My favorite food was the Anglo- Indian restaurant, it was really good and I will definitely visit that eatery on a return trip. We were a small group of 7 which was super; not always the case. Great tour!! Thanks.

Toured Barracks row of the Capitol Hill area. Our tour guide was very friendly, talkative and knowledgable about her neighborhood. Highly recommend these tours as a way to get to know areas of a new city or find out intersting intimate little known details. Fun and unique experience, all the restaurants were nice and had a cool vibe. Great tour.

When visiting my daughter and son-in-law, we always look for something different to do that we can all enjoy. A Food tour was a perfect activity. How can you beat good food, strolling in wonderful spring weather, seeing a part of the hidden Washington, all done in good company? Chris, our guide was wonderful and really made the history part come alive. This was such fun, we plan to explore another neighborhood on my next visit.

This tour was interesting and different from the regular Washington tours. The guide, who was a proud, and active, member of the local community walked and talked us around the area; explaining the history and development of the properties. We also had reasonable food in 4 different restaurants, all ok. This wish not a "food" tour; as I have experienced before, but worth doing none the less.

N/a

We lucked out and got a smaller group. The tour guide was energetic, well-informed about the area and the foods, and seemed to really enjoy what she did. The restaurants were great and we did not leave hungry! I would love to go another food tour!

Jen was a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. The restaurants were fantastic, especially the Indian food! Walking around the Capitol Hill District we learned so much about the history and culture of the city. It was truly an excellent experience! Next time I visit DC I will surely be going on another food tour in a different city! Thanks so much!!

I learned a lot about the type of housing/construction in the area during different eras. Also I learned a lot about who lived where etc. We stopped a lot and the guide gave tons of information. Make sure you do have a small bite to eat before the tour because getting to the first restaurant takes a little time. Also you will be full by the end of the tour, I literally did not eat anymore that day. Its a good experience to enjoy when the weather is optimal. It was windy and a little cold so I started to drift off and not listen to what the guide was saying. I had a good mix of people in my group and we all got to talk and get to know each other a little better so there weren't any awkward pauses at the table. I definitely had my favorite places that I will return to but they all had that something special in their menus. I will do a tour again.

Our tour guide was friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and engaged with everyone on the tour. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and there was plenty of food. Though nothing blew me away, the food quality ranged from very good to good.

A great way to get to know an up and coming neighborhood in DC as well as sample some different cuisines. Not all of the restaurants were 10's but each had something unique and tasty. Guide did a good job of accommodating a gluten allergy in our group. We did it as a family since we have older children, but a great adult activity for couples or groups for sure.

Andrew, our gracious guide, blew me away with the history of the neighborhood. I had even worked on the hill for 2 years, and knew NONE of this history! The food was great and diverse, and we really got to explore the ins and outs of Capitol Hill's beautiful side streets and main avenues. A fantastic way to get to know DC better, even for locals!

This is a great opportunity to get out and see a part of town you may or may not be familiar with, get a little bit of history, tour some restaurants and try out food from 4 different places, and meet some cool people. Def. recommend!

With limited time in DC I found this a wonderful way to try multiple restaurants, learn about the area and get some walking in all at once. Our guide lived in and appreciated the neighborhood. The food was fabulous.

The tour was great. Food was delicious and the people were awesome.

The food was great! The tour was just ok. Was hoping for more facts, figures, and details. It was more like a friend showing you around their neighborhood than a tour guide giving you a historical sketch of the area. Pleasant, but not super informative.

Christine was amazing! She did a great job touring us around Capitol Hill. We really enjoyed the historical aspect of the tour as well. I would highly recommend this to friends and I am interested in doing another tour in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was great and we enjoyed all the food.

I was very pleased with the tour. The guide was quite friendly and knowlegeable. It was a nice mix of finding out about the neighborhood and enjoying the food from a handful of restaurants. Here are a couple of suggestions: 1) The restaurant owner or manager should give a brief talk about the restaurant - when it started - what it specializes in -- the clientele, etc. I would also suggest that tour guide get each participant to say his name at the first restaurant and say a word about where he/she is from etc. An early icebreaker would enhance the comraderie of the group. Overall, it was a very enjoyable food tour.

Very enjoyable and good value. The tour guide, Christian, was very knowledgeable and personable, and we will definitely return to 3 of the restaurants we visited. Thanks!

This was the second DC food tour I've taken with my fiance and we loved it. The food was delicious - we especially love the Greek restaurant - and our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about food, DC, history and frankly everything. Jen made the tour interesting, informative and enjoyable. I would highly recommend the Capitol Hill food tour to anyone who likes food and likes learning a little history.

This was an excellent way to learn more about an area of DC without the usual boring overbooked tours. It was especially nice to learn about the people who owned the restaurant and called the area home. This way we got to know about the history and the present all at the same time.

The fact that the tour guides really knew DC and knew the political scene even made it very fun. Food was great, tour was great.

The tour was a delight. Andrew, our guide was a splendid host, full of interesting information about the city and the food we were tasting.

I plan to take the Georgetown tour the next time I am in town.

Fun and insightful!

Tour was extremely interesting - great way to learn about the local history and architecture etc, not to mention the food! Really good food and not just a morsel to taste - proper portions (don't eat before you start!). Our guide John was very friendly and knowledgeable and met some really nice, like-minded people in the group. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

excellent guide, very informative. Food excellent. FUN

I have been on several of the DC Metro Food Tours and I've loved all of them. Highlights are the highly informed tour guides who sincerely love the District, the interesting restaurants and shops that I have missed after years of living in the city, and the historical/architectural/cultural context given to the neighborhood throughout the tour. This is my favorite way to reintroduce myself to different neighborhoods I think I know.

The afternoon was enjoyable. Our tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent.

Learning experience and delicious food

Our tour came at the beginning of our visit to the DC area. It was a wonderful way to learn about the neighborhoods in DC. This was a much more personal and relaxed way to experience the area. I had gone on a Food Tour in Boston which was a much more food and cooking driven tour. The Capital tour had eating and restaurant visits but the group leader used the restaruants to explain the historical area we wandered through with architectural finds and neighborhood strolls. We saw different homes, historical buildings and all included a indepth commentary of what we were seeing. The area is diverse and so was our food and restaruant choices. The food was different, delicious and fun. We ate well and the group of 5 plus the tour guide experienced a great easy sharing of our different life experiences. This meshing was coordinated by Christopher our guide but we found common interests besides the food and really enjoyed our time together. I wish we could join more tours into the other areas of DC because we really enjoyed this one!

My friend and I were the only two people under 50 in the group, but everyone was lovely, and we got along well. I thought we might get to see more of the sights in 3.5 hours, but we spent most of our time sitting in the restaurants. The food itself was delicious, and our tour guide Christian was insanely cool and friendly. The guy knew his stuff and made an effort to engage every single person on our tour. He also went away from what I presume is the usual track to show us historical sights nearby like John Philip Sousa's home and the Commandant's house while throwing in some great info. I'd love to do another one in the future and drag some other friends along.

Christopher, our group leader, made it a wonderful experience. Good food and a great group! I would do again and recommend it to others!

I have to say I did not know what to expect from this tour. It did not disappoint me. The walk, food and touring were just enough to keep me interested and satisfied. Didn't hurt much that the weather was beautiful too. The tour profiled a neighborhood that is up and coming with one of the highlights being that they diversity of culture showed in the food. The mix of the diverse menu of the tour and the history of the neighborhood was perfectly matched. In addition the walking in between the food stops was fun and not taxing on the body.

Our tour guide - Mr. Chris Pitt could not have been better. His knowledge of not only the tour area but of DC was phenomenal. Actually he had knowledge and experience in many of the areas that the members of the group were from so it added an extra dimension to the tour. He was quite the host I have to say. He made the tour both fun and educational. I would take another tour if I have the opportunity if the cost, food and tour guides are anything like we had on this tour. Thanks for adding to our trip a great experience while in DC.

From the food to the history lessons - the evening was absolutely amazing. It was great to visit with others on the tour as well. I would recommend to anyone going to DC.

Our Guide Sharon was exceptional, her knowledge of the history and architecture of the area was incredible. The selection of restaurants was an outstanding mix and the food was a treat, each one better than the last.

I can't wait to return to DC and explore Georgetown with DC Metro Food Tours. This is a must for visitors and locals alike. !

It was interesting to hear the history of Barracks Row. Mistakenly, we expected something about Eastern Market since the tour is called "Capitol Hill". All of the restaurants visited were on 8th street. The samples were delicious. Our guide seemed more interested in lectures and less interested in questions, comments or contributions from tourists. That being said, we learned a lot about the people who lived in Barracks Row and how/why it was established. We would recommend this tour for visitors to DC who would like to know about an area that has great restaurants with easy metro access. Cava was the hands down favorite for food quality, variety and friendly staff.

I really liked the walking tour of history but I wished that we could have talked about the details of our food and the history of the places that we went to go out eat.

Most of the restaurants did not have the air conditioning on. It was awful on such a hot day. The restaurant which served us Beef (it was the 3rd restaurant in the sequence of activities) should be taken out from this tour and some Mexican restaurant should be added. I wish the tour (at the end) also included visit to the gourmet food stores in DC where people could buy some gourmet items.

Our guide was informative about both the local history and the restaurants we visited. The overall pace of the tour, meaning the timing between walking, eating, and stops along the way, was perfect. Wholeheartedly recommend.

After having done several food walking tours we found this one to be a bit boring.. In total four restaurants were visited and although the food was good it just wasn't anything special.

My husband & I had never taken a food tour before so we didn't know what to expect. I thought we might hit some vendors or food carts but never expected to actually sit down and be served at 4 different restaurants. We enjoyed all 4 places and were full after the 3rd. It was a perfect way to spend a warm afternoon (4 hours), where we could get water, air conditioning and have access to bathrooms throughout the tour. In between meals the walk around the area and information about different houses and places was interesting as well. Overall the 4 of us in my group would highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Capitol Hill tour. Our culinary guide Jenn was so full of knowledge about history,

politics, economics, etc. It was never a dull moment! She was very skilled at tying in all the aspects of that

particular time in history. She certainly made the tour very interesting and delightful! The restaurants were

very well chosen and had wonderful cuisine. I would highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed the tour and the food served on the tour was yummy...the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly...my only observation/complaint was that it would have been really nice to have gotten something that told about some of the the food stops along the way (names of the potential restaurants because I know you change up from tour to tour) so we had a record of them and others. Got back home and tried to recall names of the restaurants and though I could remember the food, I couldnt remember the name of the restarant. Other then that...it was really a great day and I learned alot of good info about the area's history.

The tour was good. The guide very informative. The food was good. The only thing that was disappointing for our group was the actual location. I didn't mind but my friends thought that the tour was going to be nearer the actual capitol, as we did not know the better food is on barraks row! Other than that all was good.

The food was very good. I like the different food groups. I plan to take all of your tours. This was my second.

We were disappointed by the tour guide delaying the start of the tour by 30 minutes to wait for a group who got lost. The arrival information stated to be on time or the tour leaves without you. We did not find this to be the case and did not like waiting that long to start our tour and tastings. We had a much better experience during our Greenwich Village tour a few years ago with Zerve.

The historic tour of Capital Hill did not disappoint and the 4 restaurants on the tour offered us a good cross section of the variety of food available on 8th Street, NW. If you depart on time, it is an enjoyable tour to take in a part of DC that many tourist and locals like us have never experienced.

Our tour guide Sharon was great. The food was delicious. Fun to be in a group of people who were all enjoying the food and history. Nice way to spend an afternoon.

The DC Capitol food tour was excellent. Our tour guide Christopher was knowledgeable, personable, professional and gave us a well rounded, enjoyable and delicious food tour experience. We left feeling very satisfied and had a better understanding of the history and the flavor of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I would highly recommend this tour.

I originally signed up for a different tour however there was a slight problem and they offered me this tour instead. I had a great time and enjoyed the food and company. The tour guide Chris was very knowledgeable about the area (turns out he has a background in history), and the restaurant were awesome. Enjoyed my self and will be going on another tour soon.

The first time I have ever done a food tour and I loved it! Chris was our guide and we learned so much about Capital Hill and LOVED the restaurants. It was my boyfriend and myself and one other couple so it was a pretty intimate tour. I would highly recommend to anyone going up to DC.

I really enjoyed the first half of the tour. During the first few walks and the first restaurant stop we learned a lot about the architecture of buildings in the neighborhood, the planning of the city of DC and even a little about the origins of the Indian dishes we were eating. Then it seemed like the information kind of stopped there? The last 3 restaurant stops were all tasty but there wasn't much talked about during these stops. Overall it was still a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, to leisurely stroll through a neighborhood I'm not very familiar with and sample some tasty food.

Sharon was an amazing tour guide through the streets of Capitol Hill! We learned so much about the history of the area, the life of the neighborhood and the details of the culinary feasts in which we participated! The whole afternoon was so much more than we could have EVER imagined. See (and taste) DC like you have not seen it before!

I wanted my out-of-town family see a different part of DC and I thought this was the best way to do it. We got to try different restaurants that I hadn't tried before, learn some history, and meet new people. It was a great time!

I had never done a food tour before so did not know what to expect, thought it would be eating food and learning about food. It was so much more!! Sharon was our guide and she taught us so much history of the area it was amazing. The food at each place was great and the timing was scheduled perfect, small walks in between and more history. I will do other tours, it was a great way to learn about the area and to spend an afternoon.

We recently moved to DC and took this tour with visiting family. The tour guide Christopher was excellent: well-informed, personable, engaging and attentive. The selected restaurants/foods were also excellent: delicious and well-appointed with ample serving size. This tour is a great way to learn more about local history, architecture and custom while walking neighborhoods and trying new foods. You won't need any dinner that night! Highly recommended.

Our tour guide, Christopher was fantastic. Personable, knowledeable and polite. The food was very good at all locations. Nice variety and a very good pace.

Food delivery was prompt. We enjoyed the Indian, Greek, then followed by Italian food. Each restaurant came with a story and the hosts were very accommodating. Plenty of food and good variety. We had a flight to catch, and Sharon, our guide arranged for the last course, dessert, to be packaged as take away. Great service and highly recommended.

My husband and I visited DC and had to do a food tour. We've done 2 others (in NY and San Fran) and were excited to try it out. The food was delicious and different. There was only one other couple, so it was a more intimate group than on the other tours we'd been on before. Our tour guide talked a little about the surrounding area. Overall it was a fun experience !

We all loved the tour of the Capitol Hill area! The food at each restaurant was excellent! Our guide, Sharon, was extremely knowledgable and entertaining. She kept everyone interested and involved in the experience.

We will definitely be trying the other tour options in the future.

Our guide was terrific! Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient.

We loved the blend of history, camaraderie, and fantastic food! Can't wait to explore a new neighborhood on our next trip!

We very much enjoyed the variety and historical tour of Capitol Hill. This is a neighborhood that I had never ventured to visit in my recent trips to Washington DC. Will definitely visit the area again, and go back to the restaurants on the tour. Thanks for a great experience!

Enjoyable tour but the route and historical aspects could use some enhancement. We had several different types of delicious food on this tour, and we certainly got our money's worth on that. The walking tour, while including some interesting history, was a bit repetitive--we ended up circling through a 2-block area several times. We would have enjoyed it more if the tour included a broader area, and didn't go along the same streets. For instance, Eastern Market was right next door and we didn't even walk by it or talk about it.

Sharon was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area & restaurants. The food portions were filling & delicious. Can't wait for the next tour.

This is an awesome tour to learn about the history and food of Capitol Hill that can be enjoyed bout locals and tourists alike. The tour is provided by a well-versed guide that is knowledgeable about the history as well as the variety of ethnic local foods. Do not eat ahead as the tour is full of food. Being able to sit at restaurants between stops are a nice touch.

First of all, our tour guide Pam was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable, fun and made you feel as if you were hearing a series of stories rather than history She took an interest in each of us, made us all feel comfortable and got the whole group talking (even the people we didn't know). The food was awesome!!!! Loved the restaurants. Great variety of food. I took teenagers who moaned before the tour,"Why go on a tour when you can just Wikipedia everything?" Well.....they all LOVED it and each told us how wrong they were after. (Ages 14-19). I would highly recommend this!!

Excellent work was done by Christopher on our tour. It was the hottest day of the year, so we spent plenty of time hydrating and indoors as much as practical. Pacing was excellent. There was a variety of food introduced and managers spoke with us at each stop. Keep up the good work.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Capital Hill food tour. Chris was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgable about the food, the restaurants, and the area. He was made us all feel included and seemed genuinely interested in learning about us as well as teaching us about his city.

The food was excellent at all four places. I can't say a bad thing thing about the tour. The price is a bit high, but its worth it.

Come prepared to walk. This is not a time to wear high heels! If your kids aren't willing to try new foods, leave them home, its not worth it for them or you (My 12 year old enjoyed everything, probably more than I did.) If you or your kids can't put the cell phone away for a few hours, this isn't for you. Its much better when everyone listens, learns, and contributes to the conversation.

I loved this tour experience! I took my mom and sister on the Capitol Hill Tour for my mother's birthday. A food enthusiast turned self proclaimed food critic... Can you say amazing! My mom had a blast! The food was great. The group was a nice size and the tour guide Christian knew his history. I had an overall incredible time. I would definitely recommend this to others. Cant wait for the next tour!

This was an excellent tour for anyone interested in history, food and touring a D.C. neighborhood. Sharon was a great tour guide and we enjoyed hearing about the history, tasting the local cuisine and meeting people from other parts of the US and other countries. I highly recommend it and plan to take family visiting from the west coast in the near future.

This was our first food tour in Washington D.C., second overall (South Beach, Miami was the first). The 3.5 hour Sunday tour was comfortably paced and food was plentiful along the way (it helps when the D.C. weather is favorable). Our tour guide Christopher was very knowledgeable in both the food and history of the D.C. area. The tour was small allowing time for many questions amongst the group. The tour is highly recommended and well worth the time commitment. Word of caution...be prepared to walk.

Our guide and the food were outstanding!

We enjoyed our tour and our guide - Sharon. She was very informed, an easy manner and very engaging. The range of cuisine was excellent and enabled us to try a variety of restaurants that we wouldn't have otherwise visited. The architecture of the neighbourhood and the stories behind it all was fascinating and Sharon did a wonderful job in delivering the information in small enough bites for us to absorb and remember (at least most of it). Visiting the small, locally owned restaurants and trying multiple small meals was wonderful and very, very filling. We would recommend this tour to those who like to learn by hearing rather than reading it all in a guide book and a unique way to try the locally owned restaurants. It was a very easy walk and seemed quite well paced.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

The atmosphere was very nice.

A great way to explore a new place - both historically and culinary.

My sister and I have taken four other food tours, from this company, in NYC. This tour was the best in comfort for participants: plenty of room to sit and enjoy food, wide and excellent choices of food, great presentation of food!! Our guide, Christopher, was knowledgeable of the area and very personable. Our group was diverse and fun!! I would always encourage others to enjoy these tours!

Our tour guide Pamela gave a very informative and enjoyable historical tour around the neighborhood, including several landmarks I otherwise wouldn't have identified.

The restaurant stops were really delicious, and highlighted a diverse set of cuisines. As a food journalist, Pam was very knowledgeable about the historical context of the dishes we were served, as well as being very comfortable with striking up a conversation with each member of our party.

I highly recommend this experience to a bachelor/bachelorette party such as ours. Thank you!

Our group was my brother and his fiancee and thier wedding party (groomsmen and bridesmaids). We were all very skeptical and was unsure even how the day would work. We instantly fell in love with Pam and knew we would have a good time. There was a mixed group of foodies like myself (hospitality and culinary degree) and people who consider McDonalds a great meal. Everyone enjoyed it. The group all agreed at the end that the tour would have been a decent afternoon with a poor to average tour guide, but Pam really made it special. If I could offer any advice it would be to ensure that all the tour guides are as enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and as connected in the food world as Pam is or you will be settling with an overpriced walk around lunch. Our group love it and we thank you.

Ben

We had a great food tour and experienced food that we ordinarily would not try and loved it! We had a great tour guide who was enthusiastic about the area and food.

Tour guide was very interesting. Historical stories were provided, and food was great. I would recommend this tour.

We had a group of family and friends for a bachelor/bachelorette celebration and had an INCREDIBLE time. I cannot wait to go on a tour of another DC neighborhood. Our guide, Pam, was knowledgeable about history, food, and how to keep a group entertained. We had a variety of food and all of it was VERY good. We learned a lot from Pam about the area, historically and it's current vibe. We also learned a lot about the food we ate. Truly a fantastic time!!!

It was a super nice afternoon, approx 3.5 hours, fulfilled with local history and excellent samples of different foods and flavors and plenty of it. Our group was 5 people, three groups, and our GREAT tour guide Andrew. Lots of fun! and walking, so have a compfy pair of shoes. We did use bus and metro combo to get there and back home. It was easy and convenient since the meeting place was at the Eastern Market metro station. Thumbs UP and We'll try another one soon!

I love this way to explore a neighborhood and spend an afternoon eating! Historical information enhances the experience; Sharon is excellent in keeping us informed, moving and eating!

My mom and I went on this tour today as she was visiting from New Jersey. Andrew, our tour guide was terrific!!! He had so many interesting facts about the area and made the tour extremely interesting. The 4 restaurants we went to were wonderful and the food was amazing! You definitely don't leave hungry!! I would highly recommend to visitors and locals alike.

My wife and I were in DC celebrating her birthday and our anniversary. We took this tour because my wife booked it as a surprise. We arrived late to the meeting place and found that our tour had already left. We automatically called the company and we were told where our tour guide would be taking the rest of the tour. We asked a local for directions and we were able to locate our tour. We arrived as they were sitting down at the table and talking about some sights that they had already seen. Our food was delicious and hot to order. The menu that was given to us was absolutely marvelous. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and we learned alot about our country's history. We would recommend it, it is awesome for a couple who likes to try new foods and is not extremly picking. This tour is not really recommended for families with small children because you do alot of walking about 1.5-2 hours of it to be exact and children may not like the food offered which would be a waste of your money. The meals are elegantly presented and the resteraunt treats you like royality. We will be doing this tour again when we come back to visit. What I loved was that we were never rushed when eating and we got a story told to us about the meals we were eating. Found out a lot about the different cultures represented in each meal. YUM!!!!!!!!! :)

We were all locals on the tour- and we learned a lot about a neighborhood we all thought we knew. Our tourguide was fabulous! Highly recommended.

My husband and I loved our tour with Pam. We are relatively new to DC so loved the opportunity to learn more about the history of Capitol Hill and to be introduced to new restaurants. All the food we tried was delicious and we're looking forward to going back to all of the restaurants we visited.

well worth the price and the time! my kids still rage about it! and our tour guide was so nice and friendly and knowledgable :)

Tour guide was very friendly and insighful Food was very new to my taste buds and tasty i enjoyed my day and was very full after the tour was over. overall met great people and had a great food experince

We couldn't have asked for nicer weather in February. The meeting location was easy to find, even for someone that is not familiar with the area. Sharon was very friendly and knowledgeable, her depth of information about the neighborhood was impressive. She actually lives and works in the area. A lot of the things she talked about you would never know if you had just walked by a place unguided. And the food was good too!

Our tour lady Sharon was informative and knowledgeable of the neighborhood

The food was great and the tour guide was fantastic. There is a lot of walking and the winter months may not be ideal for this! Also, since it get's dark around 5:15 it was really cold and hard to see some historic houses towards the end of the tour.

Was fun & would try it again - in warmer months

Great experience! I loved it and I cant wait to come back

The capital hill food tour was awesome with plenty of food and knowledge of the local area. The tour guide had a wealth of knowledge and the food locations were well thought out and prompt with their service. We will be doing another tour soon for sure!

We had a wonderful time at the Capitol Hill Culinary Tour. Our guide (Sharon) was extremely informative and we were given a lot of history of the area that we never knew! We stopped at 4 restaurant locations where the food was amazing. The entire day went very smoothly! We cannot wait to go back and try all of the other tours that are available!

For starters, our tour guide, Sharon Bosworth had so much historical knowledge of the Capitol Hill area and restaurants, it was worth the price even without the food. I won't give anything away about the homes and buildings visited on the tour, but some of it was fascinating - such beautiful homes in the area. It was nice to walk around in between food servings, to walk off some of the food. The restaurants on the tour were fantastic and we are so glad we went! Starting at Capitol Hill Tandoor & Grill we had two excellent dishes - starting with mulligatawny soup, followed by tandoor chicken with vegetables and basmati rice, and naan bread. Next up was Cava Mezze, Greek cuisine - we had some wonderful warm pita bread with olives and olive oil, next up was lamb cooked with orzo and spices, and then the 'flaming cheese'. That was an exciting experience, and the cheese itself was fabulous (that was my favorite stop). Then we moved on to Lavagna Italian restaurant where we had a beet, goat cheese & arugula salad, and a plate of gnocchi with gorgonzola & walnuts, finishing with a glass of limoncello. Our final restaurant destination was Zest where we enjoyed an excellent piece of pumpkin bread pudding. We can't wait to sign up for the next DC Food Tour - we only wish we could have Sharon as our tour guide for every one. Well worth the money!!

I would recommend this activity as a fun date for a couple. I went with my boyfriend and we thought it was a great way to discover new delicious restaurants in a different part of the city. However, the only problem we had with it was the excess stops not really relevant to the food destinations. The tour guide took use all around the neighborhood to explain different architecture and tell anecdotes about historical figures who lived in the neighborhood. It was interesting enough, but not quite related to the purpose of the tour and it was a little uncomfortable in the cold December evening. Other than that, the experience was pleasant and delicious.

Great mix of history, architecture and food. I was expecting the history and food parts but was pleasantly surprised by the amount of architecture that Sharon wove into the tour. It was a great tour and one I would highly recommend to friends. I'm sure we'll take another food tour the next time we're in D.C.

I've gone to numerous food tours in other cities that were much better.
