Erin was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable about fun facts in the Georgetown area and our cuisine. We enjoyed our vegan tacos and pizza, but the group favorite was the stop at Call Your Mother Deli! Definitely a tour worth your time!

Had a great time on this tour. The food was fun, and we tried some (good) things that we might not have otherwise tried. Mike was a great host and made the tour interesting.

This was an excellent food tour! We try to go in new cities and this didn’t disappoint. Mike was a GREAT guide and let us know plenty of history of Georgetown on our 2 hour tour. Food was outstanding as well! Recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Mike was awesome! The weather was horrible, but he made it so enjoyable. My only suggestion is to have an offering to skip the stops for history tour and get indoors. Certainly not the tour guide's fault that the weather was bad. Just did not want anyone getting sick. The food was great and many plan to return to do the tour on a much better weather day!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad Mike made the experience enjoyable despite the weather. We really appreciate your suggestion and will definitely keep it in mind. We’d love to have you back on a sunny day

Erin was a great guide! She was knowledgeable and held our attention throughout the tour.
She also answered questions about sites not included in the tour which was awesome.
I would tour again with friends.

Our guide Mike was AMAZING! Open to answering any questions and seemed to tailor highlights based on our conversation and introductions. Walking shoes are a must as sidewalks can be bumpy. The Car Barn meeting spot has 2 entrances so ask guide which one to meet at. Our fabulous guide Mike texted 30 minutes before so that would be a chance to ask.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Mike made your tour both fun and personalized. He’s great at connecting with guests and tailoring each stop to the group. Excellent tip about the walking shoes and meeting spot, too! We appreciate your feedback!!

ToriAnn_B, Jun 2025
I loved this tour! I go on a walk food tour in every city that I travel to and this was probably my favorite. It was a small group and Mike was amazing. The best thing I think about the food tours is that Mike took us to local owned establishments and chose foods that were not typical. We went to an Italian restaurant and had steak which was divine. We went to a deli and had a kosher sandwich things like that. He was amazing. I went with my nephew and he and I talked and Mike chimed in when appropriate to allow my nephew and I time to Visit with each other, but still enjoy the full experience. I would definitely take this tour again with Mike.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Wow—thank you so much for this amazing review! It means a lot to hear that out of all the food tours you’ve done, ours stood out as your favorite. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the local spots and unique food choices—that’s exactly what we aim for! Mike will be thrilled to know he helped make your experience so memorable. We’d love to have you (and your nephew!) join us again anytime.

Mike was terrific. Thank you, Mike.
Great walk through Georgetown with many discussions of the history and current ongoings there. We enjoyed 4 tastings that were great variations for the area. All were delicious although at the Italian restaurant, I would have liked to have a little pizza instead of the delicous flat iron steak...just my preference, but it was all great.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for joining us and for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour, the history, and the tastings. We’ll pass along your kind words to Mike, and we’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future tours. Hope to see you again soon!

Erin was our terrific and personable tour guide.
Even in the heat, she made certain that we all hydrated.
She was informative. We stopped at new places that we were unfamiliar with and the food was plentiful.
