Georgetown is a prestigious neighborhood in DC well known for being home to some of the city’s most notable residents, embassies, local commerce, and culinary gems. This is the perfect neighborhood to eat your way through!
Your local expert guide will take you off of the main M Street drag where you will be surprised to learn about the significant political and cultural history of its famous residents including the Kennedy’s and the home of a world renowned Emmy award-winning chef. We will also pass by many historical sites that have been right under your nose!
Along the way you will eat from eateries that have been featured on the History Channel, and many other important publications for their important social missions.
This ‘eat like a local’ experience will indulge you in four to five tantalizing food samples and one wine or spritz pairing.
Afterward, you’re free to explore on your own and get suggestions from our tour guide!
I had the best time on my Georgetown food tour, would highly recommend it! Each stop had its own unique character and at the same time we were able to learn about the history and see the neighborhood. Dave was a great tour guide, really knew his facts and about all the best places to eat.
