    Mina's walking tour of Korean food in Annandale is outstanding. Mina explains the food, culture & ways of family businesses in the Korean immigrant community with detail, history & above all fun. She asked us to think about what we were eating & compare & contrast. We learned a lot and ate very VERY well. By the end everyone in the group felt like family & insiders. My oldest friend took me on this tour as a birthday present-- it's going to be hard to top when his birthday comes around!

    After going on several food tours in the D.C. area, Virginialicious is the BEST! With the goal of inviting others into Korean culture and food, Mina guides guests to five of her favorite Korean restaurants in Annandale, home to the third largest Korean community in the U.S. Joining her tour on July 13th, here's my experience. 1) Meeting Point: Once you purchase your ticket, you're sent clear instructions on where to meet and how to find Mina. The meeting point is at a large strip mall with a large parking lot. Once you check in, Mina gives you a name tag with your name in Korean. Our group had around 11 people. Once we were all there, Mina introduced herself, the flow of the tour, and asked that we all introduce ourselves briefly and any connection to Korean and Korean food. 2) Tour: It's all walking, but it wasn't that bad. All five restaurants are only a few blocks from each other. Each restaurant had strong AC and kind staff. Each restaurant already had the food ready when we arrived. Mina would do an intro of the food and then we'd dine. Come hungry! Every spot was unique and provided quality food. Two places included beverages and all gave us ice water. Also, Mina is funny! She's such a great tour guide and worthy of a generous tip at the end. 3) Ending: You end where you start with a wrap up and a surprise dessert from Mina.

    Had a great time! I haven't visited many korean restaurants in Annandale and this tour showed me some of the hidden gems!

    I went on this walking Korean Food Tour as a solo, senior attendee. Mina was so welcoming and pleasant, I felt at home with the other guests. Thoughtful selection of local owned, small owner restaurants serving delicious foods, provided pleasant service, and combined with Korean history made each stop enjoyable. The food selections were what I've seen on kdramas and wondered about. I will definitely return to Ktown with the family!

    Our 1st time taking the tour and it didn't disappoint! We walked to 5 different restaurants, all fairly close together and with a wide variety of authentic Korean food at each place. The tour guide Sun Gi, was awesome! Very knowledgeable native Korean lady who shared interesting facts about Korean culture all along the tour. At each stop our food was hot and ready as well as delicious . We tried bulgogi, tofu soup with beef, kimpop, Korean friend chicken, jajang myun and many others but have forgotten the names of the dishes. The rice noodles were amazing too. Excited to return to this area- Koreatown Annandale VA and eat at these places again!

    We had an amazing time at the Koreatown Food Tour by the team at Virginialicious & our tour guide Sujin was so much fun and full of knowledge. We made 5 restaurant stops total and I was already getting full by the third restaurant but couldn't resist all the delicious Korean food lol. The group I went with was super friendly and Sujin taught us a fun Korean game to play as well. The restaurant staff were very friendly and I'm so glad we did this out-of-the-box activity! This is a walking tour so bring comfy shoes. The restaurants are about a 5-7 minute walk from each other. Thank you guys so much for the fun adventure. We'd love to come back again.

    Best seafood Korean pancake I've had the good pleasure to taste.

    Looking for a foodie adventure? Look no further than Mina's food experiences on Virginialicious. She introduced us to 5 small mom & pops restaurants that are truly hidden gems, particularly to non-Korean speakers. She made sure everyone was able to appreciate what was being served by supplementing our meals with a bit of history and context. Everything was expertly planned so that each restaurant was ready for us and we were able to move from one to the other efficiently. We met many of the owners/chefs too! Whether you are new to Korean food or have explored extensively on your own you will find this tour valuable. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed ourselves and how much we are looking forward to other offerings. Thank you for helping us rediscover the Annandale food scene.

    Deliciousness of what I forget the name

    This was an amazing tour. Mina and Sujin really did make you feel like you were stepping into their homes as we weaved our way through the tiny restaurants of Annandale. Each spot was better than the next. The tour was sprinkled with cultural insight and so community focused. We felt really confident walking I to any of these restaurants alone and ordering an epic meal. This was An amzing day and I can't nite highly recommend it!

The tour was at 6:30 pm in the daylight. When we got to the first exhibit, she said she didn't know where the lighting was or how it would look. When we asked about the GLOW experience, she said, "Oh, I guess it was false advertising." We left the tour and plan to go back later on our own when it's dark.

Since I live in northern Virginia, I have been able to take many tours of Arlington Cemetery by many companies, but this tour was completely unique. Brenda, our tour guide, did an amazing job of explaining the deep connection of Arlington Cemetery to World War I, the birth of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, why the Tomb is guarded, 24-7, General Robert Pershing, and it was all fantastic, but she also showed us the Gravesite of James Reese Europe, the African American pre-Jazz great who fought for and was injured with the Fighting 369th, nicknamed the Harlem Hellcats. Possible the most amazing story was that of fellow Fighting 369th member Henry Johnson who single handedly took on 20 German Fighters and won, saving the life of his partner who had been injured. I highly recommend this tour, even if you have already gone on tours of Arlington Cemetery. It will show you a side of our military history that most tours miss!

Our guide, Andrew, was witty, cool, and has crafted a great tour that is full of juicy, creepy details and moves across the neighborhood (you'll get your steps in!) A bonus, the vibrant streatery-scene in Georgetown. There are lots of places for a safe outdoor meal or drink following the tour. I'm excited to try out more of Fiat Luxe's tours in DC.

I hope I can cut through the clutter to show that Fiat Luxe Tours is the one you want. Making arrangements was super easy. Andrew at Fiat communicated with me via email and phone and kept in touch even after the initial contact. The weather on the day our tour was scheduled was going to be questionable, and Andrew kept us updated with details and advice to make sure our tour went off without a hitch. We chose to take the 3-hour walking tour of the monuments (they have many different tour options). The tour guide was super friendly, professional, and most importantly, knowledgeable. He had access to a wealth of information and could even answer questions that were probably only tangentially related to the monuments and Washington, DC. It was really impressive. Three hours felt like one because the tour guide kept us informed and entertained! Even though it was really cold on the day we toured, we had a lot of fun. The atmosphere was comfortable and familiar enough that we got to know the other tour attendees as well, which was nice. And the best part -- it was at a great price. Compared to other options and considering the quality of the tour I got, this was more than worth it. Anyone who is visiting DC or for even longtime residents who never got around to checking out their backyard, I highly recommend Fiat Luxe Tours.

Turned out to one of my favorite gifts as the tour opened our eyes to places we have not tried for one reason or another, plus got a little history and learned a couple of things. Terry was our Tour Guide, he was awesome and very knowledgeable of the area, the history and the food. It was a walking tour, Terry kept a pace that everyone could enjoy, did not rush, explained each stop in advance. He also seemed to have a great working relationship with each of the stops staff. We were seated quickly at each spot, and did not have to wait long for our food. Each spot served enough to give you a taste of the menu, and each stop was very good. The Mexican food was amazing, and one dish in particular will bring me back sooner than later. The crazy thing was most of the ingredients are not on my favorite list, but together- Bam !!! That was the cool thing about the tour, took us out of comfort zone, and exposed us to selections we normally would not have tried. Definitely recommend this tour, Terry was the best, and not just because he is a fellow Nats Fan- LOL. My wife who never does group photos did not hesitate when another participant said "Hey, group photo" she jumped right in. Just a nice relaxed way to explore new foods, when visiting for the first time or as a long time resident. Find new go to spots & possibly make new friends.
