Tastes of Georgetown: Food & History Tour

Overview

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 restaurants during the three-hour tour. Between food tastings, your guide will stop and share the unique history of the Georgetown neighborhood along the way. We provide more than just a sampling of random delicious bites; our guides use the tastings we offer to help tell the story of the neighborhood that you explore with us. This is a small-group tour of no more than 8.

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.

The guide was great! She told us a lot of history. The food was good. I just can't eat too much spicy food.

We're sorry the red sauce at Falafel, Inc. was overwhelming! Hopefully the creme brulee at Brasserie Liberte helped to cool everything back down.

Our guide was friendly, upbeat, spoke clearly, but spent too much time talking about Kennedy conspiracy theories instead of talking about Georgetown history.

We really appreciate your feedback, Sue! Hearing from guests like you has prompted us to delve back into our research so that we can round out the content of our tour. As bright of a figure as JFK is in our nation's history, Georgetown certainly has many more interesting stories to offer. We are always looking to improve our guests' experiences!
