Tastes of Georgetown: Food & History Tour

Once a thriving port town, Georgetown is DC’s oldest neighborhood and still reveals glimpses of mule-drawn boats and flour mills. Discover Georgetown's cosmopolitan past, where people from every continent and many religions lived together and built an eclectic culinary community. More than just a premier shopping destination, Georgetown has a delicious and culturally-diverse history.

The tour will stop at several highly acclaimed restaurants during the three-hour tour. Between restaurants, your guide will share the unique history of the Georgetown neighborhood along the way. From James Beard Nominee tarts and award-winning VPN style pizza, you’ll connect to the history, people and stories behind DC’s most iconic neighborhood.. This is a small-group tour of about 8 people.

A portion of each ticket sale is donated to Bread For The City, an organization who provides food, clothing, medical care, and legal and social services to reduce the burden of poverty for DC residents.

Had a great tour with Vanesa- she was wonderful- the food was great- as was portion size. She had great information on the area and also on the Restaurant’s history. Definitely recommend this tour.

Bring your walking shoes! We walked all over Georgetown and Neka was great showing us all the areas, from old town industrial to low ends and high ends of residential neighborhoods. Sprinkle that with some history! It was really good! Now on to the highlight - THE FOOD. The portions are full size and you get quite a sampling - so it’s a good thing you do a lot of walking. We tried a little restaurant in a shared space market (some vegan entries, some plant based), Amazing Italian pizza, Falafel, and crème brûlée for dessert. We enjoyed it all, but truth be told…if we had eaten everything, we would have been way too uncomfortable. We’re not big on falafel, so being a sandwich, I was able to take it to go. Overall, a great tour. Our guide, Neka, was very charming and amusing and we enjoyed our afternoon.
