Took our food tour with Cooper. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and we ate delicious treats.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
A few hours around the city can open up a whole different side of it. We’re glad you chose to spend those hours with Secret Food Tours. Thanks for being part of the journey!
Tour guide Matt was great. He shared wonderful stories and had suggestions for areas to explore. The food was delicious! We went back to a few of the places on our own.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
It's great to hear your feedback! Knowing you came away with such positive memories is wonderful to hear. We hope to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.
Amazing food tour in Georgetown! Matt was a fantastic guide who perfectly balanced delicious food stops with fascinating local history. Highly recommend! Come hungry because you will leave satisfied!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review! We're glad that your time with us was such a positive part of your time in the city. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again in the future.
Matt S. was a fun and informative tour guide. He seemed genuinely passionate about DC and Georgetown. He was spirited and had a great energy. He was able to answer all the questions we asked. The food stops were plentiful and the portions generous. Our first stop was for hummus and pita at a Michelin started restaurant, then a local deli for a traditional DC half-smoke, soup dumplings, a potato taco and finished with a delicious cupcake! Would recommend this tour and Matt S. as a tour guide!

We’re pretty sure reviews are better when they come from a genuinely good day. Hearing that everything clicked for you is exactly what we hope for. Thanks again from Secret Food Tours, Brandi!
Come with an appetite. You will be full at the end of the tour. Great combination of local food and history.
Response from Host, May 2026
We appreciate these thoughtful words. We’re glad the tour gave you a fun and memorable way to spend part of your visit. Hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
Understanding it was Mother’s Day, causing delay’s and standing vs seating, it was have been helpful to adjust or give a heads up about the expectations. Overall, OK.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Gregory. We appreciate you joining us for the tour, especially on a busy occasion like Mother’s Day. Your comments about setting clearer expectations for timing and seating arrangements are helpful and will be taken into consideration as we continue improving the experience for our guests.
We are glad to hear you still found the overall experience enjoyable, and we hope there were a few memorable bites and moments along the way. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
Great way to experience Georgetown.
Food and history.

Response from Host, May 2026
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. We’re happy the experience left you with good memories and a positive feeling about the day overall. Secret Food Tours would gladly welcome you back!
My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. Travelers need to know that some of the food offerings are going to be eaten at a bench at a park. Except for Chaia and the Asian Restaurant where we were offered a table. About the rest we really enjoyed the walk and the beautiful town of Georgetown!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful hearing the tour gave you a relaxed and enjoyable way to explore the area. Secret Food Tours would happily welcome you back.
Cancelled the tour due to lack of minimal participants. No text or email. Just left us hanging. Paid to park and stood in the cold. Another attendee (booked on a different provider) told us it was cxd and why.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Phillip. Cancellations like this are very uncommon for our tours, and we understand how disappointing it can feel when plans change unexpectedly. We did reach out to offer flexibility with rescheduling so you could still enjoy the experience, though we did not hear back. To ensure everything was handled promptly, a full refund was processed.
Many of our guests who join the Washington tour often highlight how much they enjoy the variety of food stops and the local stories shared along the way, which is why situations like this are not typical of what we aim to deliver.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like yours helps us continue improving communication. If your plans bring you back, we would be glad to have you join us for the full experience.
We loved the chance to try different foods around Georgetown. Matt showed us some great historical places and introduced us to good food!

Noam was great. Showed us some great sights. The food was amazing. Way more than we could eat, but you do want a taste of it all.
A little pricey when you have a group of ten as we could have eaten out for every meal on this trip

We tasted great eats around Georgetown. Our guide kept us on easy to walk paths and shaded garden areas.
Our guide was very knowledgeable but a bit verbose. Our tour ran an hour over.
Make sure you have 3-4 hours.
Good time
