ViginiaMom, TripAdvisor"The food was wonderful and we gathered lots of knowledge of the city, buildings, gardens, and the "food scene". Good mix of food stops and a walking history lesson on Frederick. I've been on 8 food tours around VA, MD, and FL and this was by far the most organized and well planned tour I've taken."
