Delicious & I learned a lot
Every morsel of food was DELICIOUS, and Simon was super knowledgeable about New Orleans and all of the food we had and restaurants we went to. It was also clear from staff interaction that the places we went liked him as well.

Learned so much!
I'm a local, and I still learned so much during the tour. Lisa did an amazing job talking about both modern, ancient, and foundational history of the area. I highly recommend this to other locals and visitors!

Even a Boston local recommends this tour!
This was so fun!! My friend and I are from Boston and we signed up for this just for funsies and it was well worth it! Bob was super great - very knowledgeable about so many things!! There was a lot of Boston & North End history which was fun. The food was all delicious, and Bob pointed out a few local small grocery stores that I went back to after bc I wanted some fresh pasta. Also Bob emailed us a recap of what we ate, highlights of some history he told us, and a list of restaurant recs which was super helpful.

Great for Summer?
Our guide, Reggie, was one of the most knowledgeable and friendly individuals I’ve ever met. The insights he shared about FDR and the MLK monument were unique—information you can't find online or in popular biographies. He’s truly a genius, and his passion made the experience fascinating. However, I’m leaving a poor review not because of Reggie, but because of the tour conditions. The weather should have prompted the tour to be postponed or cancelled. I was unaware when I signed up that I would be riding in an open-air golf cart at 19°F with gale warnings in effect, traveling at 25 mph. While they offered blankets, there were no plastic sides on the cart, and unfortunately, blankets didn’t provide enough warmth to make the experience comfortable. I was so miserably cold the entire time that it was difficult to focus on the incredible history and culture being shared. To make matters worse, I woke up this morning feeling chafed and sneezing. It’s a shame that the owners of Urban DC Tours would subject their guests and staff to such harsh conditions without proper consideration.

Way too cold and should have been cancelled.
We took the moonlight tour of DC last night. Our tour guide Reggie was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and did everything he could to make this a memorable tour. Having said that, the tour was a miserable experience. It was 19F outside and NOAA had issued a gale wind warning. Winds were about 21mph and the cart could travel up to 25mph. The tour cart was completely open sided. It offered no protection from the wind and cold. There was no heat. They did offer blankets but they were sorely inadequate even with several layers of warm clothing on. While Reggie was very knowledgeable, I could not focus on what he was saying due to the cold and the wind. Trying to keep warm took my entire focus. I hardly remember a thing about what he told us about the history of DC. If I could go back in time I would cancel this tour and do it during more appropriate weather. I trusted the tour operators to know what they are doing and to provide a safe and comfortable environment for their customers. That trust was misplaced. It was basically two hours of torture, interspersed with some interesting facts. Our tour guide even said that several other people had left the tour part way through during similar weather conditions.

Amazing Brooklyn Food and Culture Tour with Mickey
My parents and I had an amazing experience on the Brooklyn Food, History, and Culture Tour with our tour guide, Mickey. This tour is perfect for both tourists and locals. I currently live in Manhattan and am excited to go back to the food spots we visited in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, and Cobble Hill. My favorite spots on the tour included One Girl Cookies for mini cookies, Shelsky’s for a bagel with smoked salmon, Damascus for a pita with spinach and feta (make sure to ask for the secret ingredient), and Table 87 for coal oven pizza! Mickey was a great storyteller and knew many facts about each food spot we visited, as well as the buildings, parks and brownstones we passed. We will definitely be touring with Mickey in the future!

Stunning Views, Incredible Tour Guide
The monuments at night were stunning. Our guide, Joel, was knowledgeable and friendly. By the end of the tour I felt like I had learned so much about DC and our government. He took the time to give us history of the monuments while mixing it with jokes to keep things entertaining. I’ve been on a million tours, but this one hit different. Best tour of my life. I took my daughter, 1(5, she also loved it and took awesome photos for her socials :)

Great way to see DC
Dr. Cook did a great job getting us around the city and had a lot of great information to share. He even gave us ponchos when it started to rain.

The Food choices were yummy and educational. I loved the individual store owner stories.Libel was so patient and entertaining and authentic. He will rise fast in life, he was very observant and stayed on task with the narrative. Walking is the best way to participate. Many blessings C. Mcguigan
