Penelope was great. She...

Penelope was great. She provided ongoing background info about the Fairfax District. The foods we tasted were from diverse cultures and we received good service everywhere. She accommodated us individually and was extremely personable.

No bargain!!

Seriously overpriced for the food provided. The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable but we can’t get over the skimpy food selection. Save your money and go on a different tour.

A Great Walking Tour

There was only 2 of us so we had Katie’s full attention and she was fantastic. She knows the history and the background around the area which we’re unfamiliar with so we learned a tremendous amount. The food selection was very good and the walking and stopping was just the right amount. Would recommend the tour and Katie to anyone.

Awesome Tour!

Had a wonderful and interesting tour with Faith. Learned a lot about the neighborhood and sampled some delicious food. Foods that I probably would not have tried on my own. Faith was great!
