We are from Reston, with a teen, and had friends in from out of town. Veeryl (spelling - I didn't ask) was our guide. Nice tour of the out of the way spots, missing all the tourist stuff. One of the best food tours we have had. They accommodated the gluten free person without missing a beat. A little of the Kennedys, slavery, and a bit of Supreme Court history too. Highly recommended. You'll never find the restaurants if you live in the burbs.

Really enjoyed our Georgetown food tour. Loved having history lesson and great food at the same time. Stefan gave us a lot of history of the area while we ate and strolled. Size of our group was perfect and the food stops well planned.
