5 Stars
We had a fantastic outing with Robert! He was very engaging and kept us entertained with snippets of Georgetown history between the food stops. We greatly enjoyed the culinary spectrum of Italian, Spanish, and Mexican restaurants. The food was delicious and plentiful and we were quite full by the end, which wrapped up with macarons. Each restaurant was ready for us with reserved seating and service was efficient, with food arriving shortly after we were seated. Drinks were not included but could be ordered and paid for separately. We would definitely recommend and would also do on other tours offered by this company.

Journey through one of Washington's historic and elegant neighborhoods exploring the best of the culinary scene on this Georgetown Food Tour!
The city of Georgetown significantly predated the establishment of Washington, DC. Long before the commercial corridors of Georgetown were lined with high-end shopping and dining, Georgetown was a working class, port city. The history of this area can be seen in the beautifully quaint 18th-century row houses on tree-lined, cobblestone streets and turn-of-the-century factories.
While you are learning the history of Georgetown, taste delicious food samples from the best restaurants and specialty shops in the area.
