U Street Tour was a great way to spend the day Fork Tours

We consumed so much great food and local history/ culture in just 3 hours. Our guide, Soneka was funny, fun, charming and informative, giving us a taste of DC that we had never had before, while making us want to learn more every step of the way. We wish everyone was as good at their jobs as she is, a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Any trip to DC would be improved with this wonderful experience.

Highly recommend! Georgetown Fork Tour Fork Tours

We did the Georgetown tour in March 2022. Ann was a phenomenal guide! We really enjoyed all of her wonderful stories, the engagement she had with each guest and her kind spirit. The food was all wonderful - my personal fave was the falafel. Thank you for opening our eyes to the wonderful history of Georgetown and for donating part of your profits (and supporting others that to the same) to those in need.
