Worth every penny. - Great walking food tour! Our tour guide Elizabeth kept us on our toes trying a wonderful variety of food types and local history. It was our first food tour and she set the bar high! And it wasnt' just the food - the people at each stop very were welcoming. We finished full and happy.

Elizabeth was amazing.... - 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.

2 and a half hour food walk - A walk through Georgetown which took us to 4 eating spots and lots of interesting spots of the area. Jacob our host was friendly, engaging and interesting. We visited an Egyptian restaurant, Das first. We were given a drink and a plate of 5-6 vegetarian tasting portions along with Injera (a fermented flat bread made with Teff flour). Very interesting. Our second stop was Stachowski ( A meat led Deli). We had a pastrami Pirozhki and some pork/beef sausage. This was delicious and I would go back for more. Third was a Taco place called Chaia Georgetown. We had an interesting taco with sweet potatoes. The last stop was a bakery called Dog Tag.

Food tour - Jacob was awesome! My daughter and I enjoyed the other members of the group and Jacob did a great job pacing the group and teaching about the history of Georgetown off the beaten path. The food was delicious.

Too Much for Too Little - 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.
