Great food and history tour
A wonderful, informative tour. Robert was an excellent guide. Do go hungry! There was so much delicious food.

Fun tour with great food.
This is a really great tour. The food is phenomenal and I was actually surprised how big the portions were. All of the venues are places I would absolutely try again. Our guide, Wayne, was great. He had so much history (and he even had photos to accompany the stories) that it really made the tour fun.
via Viator
Book this!
We had such a great time on the tour with our guide, Christian. He was so knowledgeable about the city, the restaurants and the families and/or stories behind each location. Hit four great stops, all new to us and highly recommend. Food was abundant and the company was fantastic!

Wayne was knowledgeable,...
Wayne was knowledgeable, funny & accommodating. Food was good, nothing fancy. Appreciated attention to keep our group out if the heat when possible. Nice quick afternoon tour.

Best tour in Georgetown
Robert was amazing and so was the food! My family ranged in age from 13-50 and everyone had a great time. It all felt very curated to the group as a whole and even with the warm weather everyone ended happier than arriving.

Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Washington DC.
How much does Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Washington DC usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Washington DC is not rushed.
Is Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 393 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Washington DC, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour?
+
Around 138 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Washington DC can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Washington DC and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Washington DC within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Washington DC?
+
Washington is the rare city where the headline attractions cost nothing and the scarce resource is access. Timed entry to the Smithsonian museums, Capitol and White House tours, and the night monument runs by bike or bus are what fill up. Our ranking rewards operators who secure the passes themselves rather than telling you to sort it out at the door. On Outty we rank every Washington DC experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour, Arlington Cemetery Small-Group Tour & Changing of the Guards, Washington DC Small-Group Sightseeing Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Washington DC?
+
Late March to April for cherry blossom, or September to November for cool museum weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Washington DC?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour?
+
Included: All taxes, fees and handling charges; Tour escort/host; and Food tasting. Not included: Drinks unless specified; and Guide Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour?
+
Departure Point: We meet ACROSS the street from the Four Seasons Hotel, at the intersection of 28th and M st. You will find our guide at the small park near the Capital Bike Share. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Gastronomic Georgetown Walking Food Tour if the weather is bad?
+
