The food stops were great as well as the historical facts. And the tour guide Layne knew everything.
We have been on over ten food tours around the US, Europe, and Korea, this was our least favorite. We enjoyed our guide Jacob and the history part but the food was just okay. To have foodie in the title of the tour we would have wanted some better food (3 out of the 4 food items were vegetarian) options. The smoked pastrami perogies were the best thing we ate. The blonde brownie at the end was not good. I threw mine out later. It probably would have tasted better if we didn’t have ones that were 2 days old (based on the dated sticker on the back of the prepackaged brownie). All in all we learned some good history but we would call this more of a history walk with food samplings along the way.
This was a really nice tour that incorporated a lot history along our walk. The stops for food were nicely spaced out and also unique. Jacob was our guide and he was such a nice guy.
Seemed promising but weird food choices with a vegetarian slant. Stop #3’s pastrami meat pie sample was tasty. Uninteresting architectural tour. Food stops 2 and 3 were way too far apart. And final food stop #4 forgot that a tour was coming. And then served us a prepackaged blondie that was not particularly good. You do see the outside of JFK’s former home. It was a pretty day for a walk but the tour was just so-so.
Georgetown is a charming area on the Potamac River. The Georgetown Foodie Tour was a wonderful 3-hour walking tour to four amazing food stops! We enjoyed all four locations and learned several historical facts from our great tour guide, Carson!
Ben was personable, Informative and a great time. The food stops were excellent and the DC history was great. I recommend for solo travels, couples, families and small groups
We had an amazing experience! The food and historical facts were fantastic! Jacob was phenomenal guide. We had our two year old with us and he made sure we could keep up with the tour and accommodate our stroller in all the food locations! Highly recommend this tour!
Tour was great. We stopped for food at four places and it was very tasty. Our tour guide Milk was very engaging and knowledgeable about Georgetown history. Our group included vegetarians and we were easily accommodated.
milk was awesome!!! the food was delicious and i really enjoyed the route he took us through georgetown. learned about the town, enjoyed some good food, and had a lot of fun on the way!
The good: between the four food stops interspersed with a historical tour of Georgetown, the price felt right and we left happy we did it.
The not-as-great: our guide got caught up working through a problem with a restaurant, so he arrived around 15 minutes late for the tour. We did get a call from the office letting us know about the delay. WRT the food, one of the four stops was a shared plate - one plate per four guests. It isn't my favorite way to experience food with strangers.
Ben was a great guide-funny, informative, and considerate. There was a nice variety of food options and we ended the tour pleasantly full.
Cara was a delight! We really enjoyed our afternoon with her! The food was great, the conversation was amazing and we all had a wonderful time. There was just enough walking to burn off a good portion of the calories that we consumed. Will be recommending this for any other visitors that we have coming in to the area.
Our guide Lauren was really energetic and promoted our stops with enthusiasm. She was knowledgeable of the area and knew how to do her job. However, the cost of this tour was not worth what we paid and sorry to say the food stops were far from delicious. The Ethiopian which was the first stop was acceptable with a nice glass of wine and it did allow for a decent sample of the restaurant. The food at the deli was pretty good but to be sat outside on chairs by the curbside and handed a toothpick of a sausage sample was so so. The deli sandwich piece was the best food of the tour. The taco stop #3 was pumped was downright sad with a cold veggie taco and a plastic cup of water. Of course then you get all excited for the bakery at the end of the tour to be a cup or tea or coffee and a packaged blondie brownie not really worth writing home about for sure was to say the least. All just sad. There was no selection of anything on this tour like others in the past. Could have at least been offered since not everyone is vegetarian. Maybe adding some chips and salsa would have been a nice side? So try something else and don’t waste your money on something that you think you will be satisfied from.
Fun way to learn about the history of Georgetown and eat some great food. Loved trying new foods and walking through the beautiful streets of Georgetown.
This was one of the best food tours I’ve been on. Learned so much about the beautiful neighborhood of Georgetown. The food was delicious and the our tour guide Elizabeth was awesome!
Jacob was a great tour guide, and he was very knowledgeable about the history and food we ate! We would highly recommend this tour company and Jacob as your guide!
Lauren did a fabulous job guiding us around Georgetown!! We left happy and full from all the delicious food. This tour was super enjoyable and a great way to see the hidden gems of the neighborhood.
We had a great time with Jacob on the tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a funny sense of humor. The Ethiopian restaurant was star of the show! We loved seeing Julia Childs home and the history that went with it. Great job, Jacob!! If you’re reading this, don’t think twice, book the tour. You won’t be disappointed.
Lots of great dining variety with a great guide. Great mix of history and food. We really loved the market. Great for couples and small groups
Great guide and plenty of variety and food.
Would recommend this tour. Kara was our guide and very pleasant and friendly!
We had a wonderful time! Our host, Ben, was great. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. Highly recommend.
Super enjoyable and educational, great food. Milk (our guide) was superb. Was very friendly and told us so many interesting tidbits along the way.
Good walking tour around Georgetown. Could be better. The first half had great food and education, but it petered out at the end. Guide wasn’t as confident and engaging as some I’ve seen.
Our tour was canceled at the last minute and we are waiting for a refund still, one month later. Very disappointing.
Elizabeth was a great guide. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We enjoyed all the sights and history plus the food stops introduced us to awesome restaurants and shops in Georgetown. I highly recommend!
Georgetown Foodie Tour was great!
Our guide, Dietrich, was awesome. He did a really good job explaining the tour and setting expectations. My wife loved that he showed us the Julia Child house. Dietrich kept a good pace, but not too fast. There was a lady in the group with knee issues and Dietrich was very accommodating and thoughtful with her. Dietrich seemed to know all the folks in the restaurants and got everything setup for us without us saying anything. Dietrich told good stories during the walks and told them well. I and, more importantly, my family had a great time!
Great way to spend an afternoon.
Thank you, Jim
The weather was beautiful, the Guide was fine, but you receive Too Little for Too Much money. Our guide was fine, she was very friendly and happily shared all of her travels with us, The many places that she studied abroad or visited with friends before and after her ‘summer guide work’. I did not learn anything historical but did get to see a house that Julia Child and her husband owned. We walked at a very slow pace through the Georgetown streets and saw many beautiful homes, but again, it was a lot of walking and a little bit of history. We had 4 stops - this is the least amount of food and the fewest stops that I have been on, for any food tour that I have taken. We went to an Ethiopian restaurant, where we had a Very Small portion of veggies for our group. We literally shared a plate of veggies that would not have been enough food for a child. It was interesting and a lovely restaurant but not worth the small portion or time. We had a meat pie that was great but then we walked and walked and walked and then stopped for a veggie taco, that again was not a large portion. Then we got a dessert. That was all. Now, I don’t expect big portions but the Guide routes that this food tour has a Huge Amount of food & drinks. I thought we would have several stops with small portions, samples even. But, No. The description of this food tour is vey well written but not what we received.
Elizabeth was amazing. She shared great knowledge and fun facts about DC.
We walked through beautiful Georgetown neighborhoods and made 4 delicious stops. Though I enjoyed the vegetarian dishes, my husband would have enjoyed a bit of meat protein.
Wonderful time spent walking around Georgetown, stopping at amazing eateries for amazing samples of a lot of food! The host Ben set a friendly vibe which made the tour extra special !
Jacob was an incredible tour guide who provided interesting facts about the Georgetown neighborhood and took us to some delectable restaurants!
