Robert was an excellent tour guide. The food was delicious, especially the Korean dumplings, and we appreciated learning about the historical significance of the Eastern Market neighborhood. I would highly recommend this tour.

Jennifer Oh did a great job taking us on a culinary journey around the Capitol Hill section of DC. She shared lots of history and really knew the area well. Her relationship with the restaurant owners and menus was invaluable. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed mixing and mingling with the other people on the tour. We are excited to try tours in other cities.

It's always so nice to really have the inside scoop on, and I'm glad that you got to experience that first-hand! Thanks for sharing. Best, SophiaÂ
