We had a wonderful experience on our tour. Our tour guide was Chris. She was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job navigating the snow and ice covered side walks.

Blue Fern Food tours are a "must" when visiting the D.C. area. We had a fantastic food and history tour of the Georgetown area. Our guide, Mary, was a very, warm, inviting and extremely knowledgeable young woman. We experienced delightful, delicious, and a wee bit exotic foods while learning the history (and a wee bit of gossip) about the area! You could not spend a more delightful afternoon while touring the area! - Nikki | Tripadvisor
