DC Metro Food Tours

THIS WAS A VERY RELAXED,WONDERFUL HISTORIC /EATING TOUR. OUR GUIDE WAS VERY PLEASANT AND FILLED OUR HEADS WITH INTERESTING TIDBITS OF HISTORY AND THEN HAD PREPLANNED STOPS AT SOME VERY UNIQUE AND TASTEFUL RESTAURANTS OFF THE MAIN STREET OF ALEXANDRIA. THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT (WE HAD ONE RESTAURANT WHOSE SERVICE WAS SOMEWHAT DELAYED IN TIMING,BUT OUR TOUR GUIDE PICKED UP THE PACE AND PHONED AHEAD TO THE OTHER RESTAURANTS TO LET THEM KNOW WE WOULD BE A LITTLE DELAYED.) MY HUSBAND AND I WILL DEFINITLY BE TOURING IN OTHERE CITIES WITH THEM-GEORGETOWN OR BALTIMORE AND I WAS TOLD BY OUR GUIDE THEY ARE EXPANDING TO POSSIBLE CHICAGO. GREAT TIME- DELICIOUS FOOD AND FILLING.

I found the food excellent and the history of Jonestown and little Italy enlightening. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Our tour guide, Christian, was a wonderful source of local Georgtetown history. He walked us by two of President Kennedy's former homes. We had multiple stops along the way enjoying homemade pastas, flatbreads, wine, cheese, fresh seafood and finally coffee/dessert. Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our evening. My friend and I look forward to picking another DC food tour when we return for our conference next year.

the capitol hill food tour basically tried food at four different places, all on 8th street. we would literally walk around the block then stop and eat. there was such a disconnect with the tour (pointing out historical notes among the neighborhood buildings then eat indian food). while the food was good, it was nothing special. I have had all the cuisine that was offered (indian, salvadorian, soul, american) and I did not feel like I got a "taste of capitol hill". I left a bit disappointed, although full. would not recommend to foodies.

excellent :)

Matt did a great job and I enjoyed our afternoon!

This tour was terrific. Sharon was so knowledgeable about the Capital Hill area and the international foods on the tour. Food was more than plentiful.

I absolutely loved all the food we tried out and found that each establishment was well run by friendly, fun people. My boyfriend was unenthusiastic about going on the tour in the first place, but he likes history and we had no idea how much we would learn about fells point, which he really enjoyed. The history portions helped break up the focus on just eating. The only thing I would throw out there is to be prepared for different group dynamics, if its cold out you may be on a tour with just your party, and if it's nice out you may be on a tour with up to 14 other people. Either one could be good or bad depending on what kind of experience you're looking for. We were fortunate to have another couple on our tour with us that provided great company and kept the conversation entertaining when the tour guide wasn't speaking. It was also really nice that we got to sample great food at restaurants that we never would have looked into otherwise. Overall, this is an awesome way to spend a day, the walking isn't tedious, the area was historic and fun.... just pack warm clothes if its cold out!

I like museums at a 5 on a 1-10 scale. This tour was historically factual but allowed time to learn some of the local flare as well. We learned things from the beginnings of our country as well as local issues that affect the Capitol Hill neighborhood today. The eateries were fun and informal and places that anyone can enjoy. Our tour group was small with only 6 of us plus the tour guide. The guide actually lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and many folks stopped on the street to greet us as we walked the area.. This was by far the best thing we have done in DC out of 4-5 different visits and I will be suggesting this to anybody I run into that has DC as a vacation destination. Sorry, Sharon that we couldn't tip you last Friday but we didn't bring any cash with us!!

Tour guide was very enthusiastic about DuPont and we started on time and focused on the food. The restaurants were a wide variety and exposed me to several different styles and each were delicious. A great way to spend an afternoon - you won't feel hungry when you are done.

The tour was great! Lots to see and eat! Celeste was a wonderful tour guide. I go to school in Towson and never really had the opportunity to explore Fell's Point and I think that this was a great way to do it! Would recommend to couples!

My family and I had a great time, and really showed us a side of Fells Point that we'd never thought was there. Wonderful guide.

Can't say enough good about this tour. My husband and I found the tour to be informational, fun, food wonderful and our tour guide (Mallory) educated and entertaining. If you get the chance to enjoy this tour a couple of words of advice: Don't eat prior to going. You will find there is more than enough food, and being hungry before you go is a plus. Alexandria is a historical melting pot and very interesting to explore. Lisa and Charles

Fun, good food, and intresting facts

We really enjoyed the Georgetown food tour. Our guide knew lots of information about the area and we went ton some fabulous restaurants.
