Great Tour and Way to Learn about DC

Excellent time with Liam. We were the only three on the tour but unscripted still showed us a great time. We tried four restaurants. The Channel was first. Here we enjoyed The Spice Bag. This is something we have never seen at an Irish restaurant before. It was amazing. We also tried mambo sauce on wings, amazing pizza at Matchbox, and visited one additional stop. Liam answered all of our questions and filled us in on everything DC. He has been here for 20 years and had information on every restaurant we asked him about. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Food, Great Guide

Very good experience. Our guide Liam was very knowledgeable about the area, history, and of course, the food. If you like Chinese food, don’t miss the soup dumplings! The only issue is I didn’t realize it was a walking tour so please keep that in mind when booking.

Knowledgable Guide Made our Day.

Tour guide was fabulous with some very interesting stories about the neighborhood (Nova) and restaurants we toured. He was quite knowledgeable. This made the experience really worth while. The food and alcohol experience was unique and fun too.

Highlight of our girl's trip!

The best food tour for foodies in D.C. Andrew was spot on with the best dishes/drinks at each spot and we loved how he threw in bits of D.C. history along the way. If you're an adventurous eater and love local hot spots, this is definitely the tour for you. We never felt rushed and were able to enjoy everything and have great conversations with Andrew. Thank you Andrew! We're definitely recommending this tour to our friends and families.
