Georgetown Food Tour Reviews

We've done dozens of food tours all over the world, and this ranks among the best. Jenn was an amazing guide.

Great history walk through Georgetown. Learned a lot and guide even went a couple blocks off course so we could show our teens Georgetown University. Food was good and spaced out nicely so you had some walking between plates. Dessert was the highlight!!

Our tour guide, Jen, was phenomenal - both very and widely knowledgeable and entertaining, a great conversationalist. The food was excellent, especially the vegetarian tacos. We very much enjoyed the historical portion of the tour as well. This was our 5th tour and a repeat of Georgetown for us, so we were very pleased that some of the restaurants had changed so that we could try new places. (Also, Jen is the best tour guide we've had). Keep up the great work!

Our tour guide, Alisa, was fantastic - she shared so much of Georgetown's history, took us through all the nooks, side streets and delicious places to eat. She made sure our meals were served in time and catered well to any dietary needs. Georgetown is absolutely wonderful and a interesting part of DC, I would definitely recommend the tour. Thank you :)

My wife and I really enjoyed the tour, your guide had a lot of energy and provided great facts about the Georgetown area. The restaurants were very good also. The portions of food were also very good. Thank you again for a great afternoon.

This particular tour we have now done twice. We loved the first one so much that we decided to do it again with our kids (16 and 10). The guide that showed us around the first time was fabulous and fully of historical information and interesting tidbits about the area. However this was not the case with Matt on this tour. There was very little historical data until the very end where he pointed out John Kerry's house and a house that JFK lived in. J Paul's had a fire so we ate at a BBQ place where the food was not delicious at all. Last tour we had 5 stops and this tour only 4. I'm glad this was not my first experience with the food tour as if it was I would not participate again. It's Food and a Tour...I can walk from restaurant to restaurant perfectly fine thank you.

We really enjoyed tasting new foods, meeting new people, walking around the beautiful Georgetown neighborhoods & learning about local history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The one improvement is that 2 of the restaurant choices were not great for vegetarians. Would recommend making alternate choices in place of the barbecue place & the French restaurant if vegetarians are on the tour. But the taco place was awesome & we will return there & the ending dessert & coffee were yummy.

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide, Andrew, was personable, friendly, and informative. The food at each restaurant was amazing, everyone in our party was very pleased. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Although it was raining the day we went it was still a nice tour. We walked all through Georgetown and our guide Jen was very informative. It was just my husband & I so walking the smaller streets was easy. I would call & see how many people are on your tour because I can't imagine going with a big group. The food was awesome and we got to taste some of the best BBQ ! You will be full after tour.

We were luck to be a group of 4, two married couples. It was a nice walk around Georgetown getting to know a little bit of history. I thought Georgetown was named in honor of George Washington, who knew?! The food was tasty and plentiful. You are not hungry when you finish, so don't make dinner plans.

fun afternoon...well balanced walk and food

Plenty of food given at each stop on our tour and left completely satisfied.

I bought this experience for myself and my mom as a belated Mother's Day surprise. We both absolutely loved it! There was great history provided about Georgetown and they were able to relate it to the food scene. Alina was such a great and personable guide. She really picked the restaurants and walking routes carefully to show us all there was to see about the area. She was also able to answer lots of other questions about the DC area. As someone who has lived here for 4 years, I would do this again in a heartbeat and maybe the other locations as well!

Good tour and Tour Guide Alisa was lovely. The food was very good. However, would have preferred more historical facts. But I was a history teacher.

Our guide was awesome

Andrew was a great guide and introduced us to amazing food and neighbourhood. Highly recommend.

Great experience. An interesting and exciting outing. The tour guide was very personable and informed even thought even there were a few facts about historical African Americans that should've been addressed; however, when questions about those topics were mentioned by group members, she quickly researched the info.

Alisa was a excellent guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. The selection of establishments satisfies any pallet. The location of the restaurants allowed for a good tour of Georgetown. The amount of walking was good, not too strenuous. And, it was a perfect weather day. No "liquid sunshine" to deal with. Overall great experience.

Nice paced tour with four nice long stops to enjoy the food and atmosphere of each restaurant. As with most of these tours you find places you may not otherwise and see future stopping places while walking around. Great value; you truly do not need dinner when this tour ends at 6:30

We had never been to Georgetown before, so was fun to hear and see the beautiful homes and their current or previous famous occupants. The food all tasted great - though not necessarily associated with Georgetown or its history.

Was great tour. Like the food and our guide Andrew was well inform. Would recommend to others for sure.

It was raining but umbrellas were up and we walked around Georgetown. Restaurants were unique and the food very good. No dinner was needed that night. We learned about the neighborhood and its historic past. Seeing the old transport canal was a plus for me since I read about it.

We had a great time and great food! Our guide was so relaxed and informative about the immediate area and surrounding areas/states. The food choices were outstanding. I'm afraid we have been spoiled since this was our first food tour. Not sure others can live up to the high standards and execution

This tour is a fantastic tour of Georgetown and its eateries. A delight for foodies.

Our guide Andrew was fantastic; knowledgeable, energetic & so friendly. Restaurant choices were excellent. Great points-of-interest selection, too. Right length of time for a tour of this sort. Will definitely take other tours w DC Metro Food Tours.

Was a lot of fun, would have been more enjoyable if the tour guide could have given overview of food before each stop so we could have paced what to eat...left some mystery by not telling all the food but once at the stop....very informative, we enjoyed

I took the Food Tour with some friends. We heard a bunch about the company and the food tours but had not been as of yet. Glad we did. We had a blast! loved the food and the guide really knew his stuff. Thanks Chris and DC Foods

good way to spend your day. i will try another food tour, maybe old town

Chris, the tour guide, was informative and personable. However, I didn't feel that the food selections and restaurants were as impressive as other food tours I've done in the past. It did not seem that there was any effort to tie the food selection to local history or local food trends. While none of the selections were bad, I felt that nothing was particularly impressive.

This tour was great. The restaurants we went to were wonderful. Jennifer was our tour guide and she was very informative about the history of the area.

Really enjoyed all the restaurant and menu selections. Walking tour was at a relaxed pace and provided lots of cultural interesting tidbits. Guide Christian made it a great event. At the end of it felt like I experienced Georgetown!

Alisa made the entire tour so fun! And every restaurant we went to, and all of the food, was absolutely wonderful. She also taught us things about Georgetown, which made it even better.

We had a great time with our extremely friendly and knowledgable tour guide Alisa. Food was great and so was the walking tour of Georgetown. I just wish there were a few more stops to sample some more diverse offerings in the neighborhood. Overall, highly recommend the tour and special thanks to Alisa for being so awesome! I have posted photos and a detailed review on my blog

I highly recommend this tour. A great way to see the and learn some history of the area while eating good food. All in a few hours time.

Food Tours are our vacation thing and this one was awesome!!! We recommend it!! A great way to see the area and try different things!!! And you get some history!!

Highly recommended!!!!

Alisa was amazing!!

The tour was a nice combination of tasting local food and learning about the area. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

I've really enjoyed the tour. But to be honest, I was expecting more restaurants and shops like in other food tours that I've been in Baltimore and New Orleans. It would be even nicer if any kind of discount is offered for our next visit, as I am a big fan of groupon, so im subtracting a start that they dont discount. Overall information of the city and the restaurants were very nice! Thank you Eric!

Great food and even better host!

We can recommend this one.

Eric was awesome, great voice and information about Georgetown. Food and small group size was enjoyable.

Wonderful combination of historical information, walking, and great food.

We really enjoyed this tour and would happily do it again. I will be taking all of my visiting friends on these tours.

Great tour guide Eric. He made it interesting and appealing to all ages! Incredible food choices. It's a fun way to explore a new area.

Our tour guide was Matt and he was very nice a provided us with interesting information on the house and architecture in the area as well as other sights we might like to see in the area.

A lot of walking, but overall a good tour. Food was very good

We enjoyed our tour. It included more area history than we thought it would. It was the perfect amount of food for dinner and I loved getting to try a different restaurant for each course! Rack restaurant had two or three small dishes.

My boyfriend and I had gone on other food tours recommended through Zerve when we travel and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Therefore, when it came time to picking activities for what to do in D.C. we decided that a food tour was in order. Our group was manageable with a total of 9 people plus our guide.

We had plenty of good food on the tour with a good amount of history and walking to fill in the time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us feel welcome on the tour and also offered to help provide recommendations according to our tastes. My only regret, is that we were not in town long enough to go on another food tour. Until next time!

This was a great way to get to know Georgetown, get a little history and get some great bites to eat. The restaurants we were taken to were all very different from each other and the food was pretty good in each one- if you're a total foodie, you would probably still enjoy this, but don't expect it to be 5 star places - these are more of the regular and more traditional spots people would go to. We were lucky with the weather, so walking about was great - and you really don't have to walk too far between each place - but if the weather is pretty chilly just keep that in mind. We had a good sized group (about 10?) and most of us socialized which was nice - the guide was friendly, knowledgable and really great. Would definitely recommend.

enjoyed the whole experience. right amount of time, food and walking between venues. enjoyed learning the history of the area. Dessert and coffee were great- but a bit crowded at Baked and Wired.

Our guide, Jennifer, was informative but not at all boring. The food was delicious, and I enjoyed visiting local spots and trying their specialties. I can't wait for the next food tour!

Thanks. I had a great time. I will try some more tours. Our guide was great!

Had a great time, and the food was great. I loved the tidbits about history and famous people, as well as the short walk on the C&O canal.

Eric was great and extremely knowledgeable about Georgetown's history! I would definitely recommend to anybody looking for something fun to do in DC.

Christian was our guide and he was just an awesome dude. Highly recommended.

Had a great time - very knowledgeable guide who shared a lot of the area history and interesting points of interest beyond the specific "foodie" orientation of the tour. Food was plentiful and excellent.

I found the tour most enjoyable. Having been to Georgetown many times before, I was surprised to find myself learning many historical and architectural facts I was totally unaware of. They were presented in a most interesting and understandable way making me want to read more about Georgetown history. The four restaurants we visited were all good, the food delicious and the servers friendly and fast. It's hard to say which dish I liked the most but the Maryland crab soup at J. Paul's, the tortellini and meatballs at Paolo's and the crepes at CafŽ Bonaparte were all excellent. I thought the idea of walking for a while then stopping and resting in the restaurant is very good, you don't get so tired walking for several hours. I would certainly consider doing it again at some future time.

My husband and I were glad we signed up for the Georgetown foodie tour. We were only in DC area for 2.5 days and might not have made it to Georgetown otherwise. Fun historical tidbits and nice variety of delicious food.

My husband and I attended this tour on the week-end and we had so much fun. We are well traveled and this was the first time we've done a food tour. We were fortunate to join a group of interesting folks from the US and Canada of varying ages. We had a great guide, Christian, who has a fantastic knowledge of history and was very personable. We went to J. Paul's (this was not my favorite but my husband really liked it), Paolos (very good Italian food), CafŽ Bonaparte (which included wine) and Baked & Wired (for dessert and coffee/tea). The amount of food was good, spaced over time and lots of walking, with a good overview of Georgetown. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks for showing us a great time, Christian!

Tour guide Matt showed us around, gave some great historical background, and was a really great guide.

Eric was awesome and a wonderful story teller as we toured Georgetown. I highly recommend this tour!

My group had a fantastic time. Susan was extremely knowledgable about the area, since she's from there, and she kept up an interesting narrative about Georgetown. The food itself was delicious and the tour accommodates dietary restrictions very well. I enjoy walking and we did a fair amount, which helped our stomachs prepare for the next restaurant.

Enjoyed the tour and the restaurants. Very nice group of participants,friendly . Most food was excellent, we visited a French, Italian and a seafood restaurant..Italian lest favorite, others outstanding. Ended tour at a bake shop with pastries and coffee, excellent. You will enjoy.

Delightful and insightful afternoon tour. Food establishments were diverse and the food was good but the "sizzle on the steak" was the tour guide Christian's information and anecdotes about Georgetown history. He also made sure that he interacted one to one with each of the family/friend group participants to make us feel welcome.

Highly recommended! Christian was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was great!

This was our second food tour. Our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging. The walking tour in Georgetown gave that intimate experience that we look for. The restaurant choices were interesting. While the food itself was good, for the most part it was unremarkable. Our favorite course was probably dessert. However, we love the dynamic of meeting people, learning and trying new places. We'll do more tours for sure!

The tour was fun and tasty - enjoyed the mix of history and tasting different restaurant options

Our guide, Susan, was great. Food was wonderful and I learned a lot about Georgetown.

Our guide made the tour extremely interesting and fun

Good was good

Our tour guide Susan was enthusiastic & knowledgeable about the Georgetown area, & was absolutely terrific!!! The tour was paced very well & the food establishments that were chosen were excellent. Being a history buff, I would have liked a little more historical facts thrown in. Overall, it was a great tour which I highly recommend. When I am in the DC area again, I will definitely take another tour by this company.

My Mom and I took the tour and had a blast! Our tour guide, Eric, was wonderful, full of knowledge of the town, the restaurants and added such awesome energy to the tour! The food was excellent and it was great to meet everyone in our group. I highly recommend!

Our tour guide was fun and entertaining. The restaurants that we visited were all enjoyable. Of course the weather was pleasant and the people in our group were fun so that also made for a great tour!

Eric was our guide and did an excellent job of taking us through Georgetown. The food was excellent as well as the commentary of the area on our walk through the town. He also gave us recommendations of some wonderful restaurants to try while we were in DC and he was right about all of them! We were stuffed by the end of the tour:)

Susan did a great job explaining the history of Georgetown as she stuffed us full of yummy food. Overall, the food was terrific, although the service was a little on the slow side in one or two of the restaurants.

This was a good tour. the guide was excellent but the choice of restaurants was rather pedestrian; american stop, an Italian Restaurant, a French Bistro (The best of the 4), and a dessert stop. The food was good not great.

Georgetown guide was very knowledgable and friendly. Left satisfied with knowledge and great food. Highly recommend.

Great way to spend afternoon in Georgetown. We were a group of 3 friends from NOVA. Our guide was Andrew. He was very personable and informative. He had lots of good factoids and stories about history of Georgetown as we walked between restaurants stops. All the food was very good. Rose tortellini was by far a favorite. I would definitely recommend this tour to people in DC metro area who want to explore Georgetown for afternoon as well as out of towners on holiday.

Our guide, Andrew, was great! Very enthusiastic and had great information to share. The food was pretty good although my group and I would have enjoyed for wine pairing with the food. The tour started right on time and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Our guide had interesting stuff to say when you could understand him. He spoke so fast and quietly that it was really difficult to hear him, especially on the streets with lots of traffic noise. The food was also just okay. Vegetarians given two salads in two consecutive stops. Lastly, we were put in the position of cutting into a very long line at our last stop to place our drink order. We were given this special treatment as a food tour; however, the people in line were (understandably) not happy and a few vocalized their discontent. The tour should avoid putting people in this position and just have a few default hot beverage options already available. I'm still waiting for my order, incidentally.....

We enjoyed this a great deal. We liked the variety of food tasted and appreciated the combination with a walking tour. Georgetown is an attractive environment and has had an interesting history. We were a small group so felt we got a great deal of personal attention

Andrew was very knowledgeable about the local area (past and current). All the food was absolutely amazing.

Amanda was friendly and patient training is on Segway and had lots of knowledge of DC to share

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant choices were really good and the food we ate was delicious everywhere we went. They easily accommodated some food restrictions. The entire group was very friendly and it was nice to eat and meet new people.

Our tour guide was amazing! She was very eager to show us Georgetown and give us the history of the town. I think the great food was just an added bonus.

I would highly recommend DC Metro food tours! We had a great guide who was knowledgeable about the city, food and more. It was a lot of fun!!

Lots of fun. Great tour guide. Great group to be with. Great experience overall.

Christian ourcguide wasaweome. He knew bis way around Georgetown. The food was delicious. The places where oft the used paths.

I didn't know what to expect when I booked this, but I have to say Christian made this experience amazing. He is very knowledgeable and I really appreciated having him as our guide.

The Georgetown food tour was so much fun. Great food, and great walk around the city of Georgetown. Our tour guide was great, very knowledgable and friendly.

The tour was a combination of history, good food, and sightseeing. Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We tasted different types of food and got to see parts of Georgetown that are off the beaten path. We enjoyed it so much we plan to take another food tour of a different neighborhood when we return next year.

Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable & friendly.

It made seeing the history behind Georgetown truly wonderful.

The food, although not the best food at all locations, was fairly decent.

Awesome Experience. and the food was a just a plus.

I have gone to food walking tours in San Diego, Chicago, Lexington, and Seattle and the Georgetown/DC food walking tour was quite delightful. Whereas other tours may give smaller, more frequent tastes, this tour has 3 big tastes and a decent sized dessert. It worked quire well. My favorite was the crab cake, but it was all super good. Our guide Eric was fun too. Overall, I always enjoy eating, walking, and learning about the city I am visiting so I always like going to these. If you haven't done a food walking tour, this is a fun one to do.
