DC Metro Food Tours

I took this tour in the fall with my brother and enjoyed it. Last weekend I had friends in town and decided to do it again so would certainly recommend. It's a great way to learn some history of the area and try out different restaurants and food. I am pretty new to the area and my friends were from out of state. I'd say it's good for both locals and non locals.

The tour was good. The guide very informative. The food was good. The only thing that was disappointing for our group was the actual location. I didn't mind but my friends thought that the tour was going to be nearer the actual capitol. Other than that all was good.

This was my first food tour. I would have to say overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to others. I think Food Tours although called "Food Tours" is not so much about the food but about the experience. I enjoyed the history that came along with the tour and learning about Old Town Alexandria. It was nice to visit restaurants that you would not normally consider. The food was good, I don't think I was blown away by anything, but it's just a fun experience. You will definitely be full, we visited four different restaurants. It makes sense to walk around for the tour in order to aid with digestion and make room for the next stop. We had a small intimate group and were able to talk with others. Our group was only 6 people and I think that was big enough. I think the tour was a bit pricey for the food you get, but paired along with the walking/tour of the city, I would do again.

With Christian leading our small group of four, we had an informative and tastey sampling of Georgetown, learning many historical tidbits between bites. Our first stop at Cafe La Ruche was delightful. The owner was personable and accessible, first describing the history of the restaraunt and then the food we were about to sample; talapia topped with the interesting combination of ratatiouille and bernaise sauce - delicious! Our three remaining food-stops were interesting and tastey but without the welcoming panache of Cafe La Ruche. Christian was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, gladly answering questions and setting a comfortable pace. While I wouldn't rate any of the food as outstanding, it was all good and the tour was a great overview of beautiful Georgetown.

First stop was exceptional, food was great, owner chef interaction was what we were hoping for. The rest of the locations just did not feel welcoming and the interaction with the staff seemed forced. The food was ok; nothing spectacular. It did not give the sense that it was local flavor or history. The tourguide did a great job dicussing history, landmarks and locations.

I went because of my friend. This is not my style of food. I come from a rural area and this is not my type of food or life style. It was a waste of time and money for what I saw and ate.

Overall, the food on the tour was great and the guides were very enthusiastic in pointing out sites on the tour. The Fells Point food tour group met at a run down corner in front of the historic Broadway Market, needing more renovation. I think the food tour should meet somewhere more appealing and suitable for a first class food tour, which it is. Most of the stops were appealing and the guides did a great job showing us Fells Point. Most of the food was very good, some great. The highlights for us were the tapas restaurant and the Polish restaurant as well as the fried P & J sandwich for dessert at our last stop.

The Georgetown food tour was one of the highlights of our trip to DC. Our guide, Christopher, was knowledgable and enthusiastic. The food was fantastic ! I would definitely not only recommend the tour, but I went on it twice to introduce new people to it. They loved it also!!!

The Fells Point food tour was interesting, informative, fun, and delicious!

The food was very good. I like the different food groups. I plan to take all of your tours. This was my second.

I went with a friend on beautiful April day and the tour lived up to all of our expectations! Our guide Leah was friendly and funny and informative, and we learned some cool things about local DC history. The food was phenomenal at all the four places we went and I definitely want to go back for full meals another time. The people in our group were really diverse as well, and service at all the places went very smoothly. Overall, fantastic time and I'd enthusiastically recommend any fan of food and local history. (They also made great accommodations for the one person with peanut-allergy on the tour - make sure to let them know ahead of time!)

My boyfriend and I did the Georgetown foodie tour on a recent trip to DC and loved it! Our tour guide, Lauren, was knowledgable about the area and passionate about the restuarants and food. Our tour included 4 stops at different restaurants, all which served a variety of food. Each restaurant served a fairly large portion of food for a "tasting" tour- we definitely left feeling stuffed and like we got our monies worth! All in all, it was a great way to meet other travelers (tour groups are kept to 12 and under), visit restaurants you normally wouldn't, and get to see the area. Would definitely do other tours!

Good mixture of historical and food tour. Guide very informative and pleasant. Restaurants well chosen, although for myself I would have left out the Lebanese restaurant. That was not because it was not good. It was perfectly OK. It just did not fit within the historical theme. Alexandria itself well worth a visit.

Molly was delightful and so was the tour. We would do it again and take others.

I highly recommend the Old Town Alexandria Food Tour! Austin, our tour guide was cheerful, outgoing and very organized. She would call ahead the restuarants that we were going to be eating at so that when we arrived we were seated immediatly together with our group. Austin also gave a very informative tour of Old Town as we walked from restaurant to restaurant. The food was amazing at all 4 places we ate at. We were welcomed at each of the restaurants we dined at and were treated extra special. We also had the opportunity to meet some really nice people in our tour group. It's a great experience, a lot of fun, great food and remember to come hungry! We plan on taking the Georgetown Food Tour soon!
