Overview

Wander the cobblestone streets of Washington, DC’s oldest neighborhood while tasting its rich culinary legacy. The Georgetown Food & Culture Tour offers a flavorful 3.5-hour journey through more than 250 years of history—from its origins as a working-class port town to its present-day reputation as a chic dining and retail destination.

Once a thriving hub for merchants and sailors before DC was even established, Georgetown has transformed into one of the capital's most iconic and stylish neighborhoods. But beneath its upscale surface, you’ll find a community deeply rooted in history, with red brick townhomes, converted factories, and longstanding food traditions that still thrive today.

This tour highlights the area's diverse culinary evolution, combining classic institutions that predate Prohibition with cutting-edge modern eateries. From handmade pies to globally inspired bites, every stop offers a taste of the past and present in one of the most walkable and visually stunning corners of the city.
