The whole experience was great. From our guide, Jim...so very knowledgeable, informative and personable. To the food choice stops, and their history.
Totally enjoyed it!

Food experience on U Street

Brynn_H, 13-11-2022

We had a lovely time with Soneka on Saturday on U Street learning about the area's history and tasting food along the way. Soneka seamlessly met my food intolerances at each location and was a delight to listen to. She told great stories and related the history to the food we were tasting. We tasted Ben's Chili Bowl, Dukem Ethiopian food, Colada Shop pastry, and a scoop of ice cream at Ice Cream Jubilee. I enjoyed everything though the the Ethiopian shared platter wasn't really my thing. I'd recommend doing a food tour again even in your hometown to learn a little more about the area and taste food at places you might not try otherwise. I also appreciate that Blue Fern also gives back to the community. Would recommend this experience for sure!

Food and history—perfect combination

Wonderful historical tour with a great diversity of foods. Jim was a great guide and I’ll definitely recommend the tour to friends and family when they visit DC. Great vegetarian options too

Great tour that incorporates history and culture together with food. The food choices are all very different but all compliment each other together well. I would definitely recommend this tour! Jim was extremely knowledgeable and a great tour guide, thank you! Although not required, be sure to tip your guide :)

I was given two tickets as a gift and it was awesome. We had the tour guide Jim who did a great job of exposing the food and history of U street. Highly recommend if you live in the area or are just visiting.
