Our guide touched on both the history of Georgetown (evolution of its demographics and architecture, notable figures) and the background of the one cafe and three restaurants we visited. Food portions were generous. Pacing was good. Our guide was affable. As far as I can tell, this isn't a tour for history buffs, but it's a great introduction to Georgetown. Ultimately, it was also a feel-good activity as BlueFern donates a few meals for each guest ticket sold. Afterward, we were ready to enter serious food-comas (sleep helps solidify all the history we learned, right?).

Tour included both local history and local food establishments. It was fine, but the choice of the food items was not quite up to what we have had on other Viator food tours.

We had a good time with Jim, he explained about Georgetown history , and we got to taste best pizza in town

Judi_D

Most of the food was outstanding. The scones, pizza and creme brulee were amazing. Pizza from Canale and the creme brulee were the standouts. We even went back to Canale for dinner that evening. Did not have enough room to enjoy the falafel. Would suggest something lighter before eating creme brulee. Food excellent, but the history was lacking. My son was really looking forward to going to the Exorcist Steps on the tour as well as more history about Georgetown. Maybe going to well know people that lived in Georgetown.

Wanted to do something fun with my college aged foodie daughter home from school over spring break. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food tour! Interesting facts about the history of Georgetown and most importantly delicious food. Love that they have partnered with restaurants that provide meals to those in need.

Soneka was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The tour was a great - "off the beaten path" experience and the food was excellent. We enjoyed the small group - we had 6 in our tour.
