Wesley was an outstanding tour guide! He provided insight into the area along the tour and this history of DC. The food was amazing! Definitely recommend this tour!
The food was very tasty...

The food was very tasty although I would have preferred more stops with smaller tastes at each spot so we could have a greater variety of experiences. On this tour we stopped at 4 spots and had full-sized portions at each location so we were very full at the end.
Fun, educational, and delicious!

Had a wonderful memorable experience. The food was all amazing, including an absolutely perfect creme brulee and the best falafel I've ever had. All of the stops were places that I definitely would not have visited on my own, so it felt like more of a true local experience. Our tour guide Wesley was excellent, giving a full history of Georgetown from its very beginning all the way to what's been going on in recent years. We also got some background on each restaurant we visited. This tour is worth every penny for anyone who likes taking a deeper dive into local history and culture.
