Overview

Once a thriving port town, Georgetown is DC’s oldest neighborhood and still reveals glimpses of mule-drawn boats and flour mills. Discover Georgetown's cosmopolitan past, where people from every continent and many religions lived together and built an eclectic culinary community. More than just a premier shopping destination, Georgetown has a delicious and culturally-diverse history.

The tour will stop at several highly acclaimed restaurants during the three-hour tour. Between restaurants, your guide will share the unique history of the Georgetown neighborhood along the way. From James Beard Nominee tarts and award-winning VPN style pizza, you’ll connect to the history, people and stories behind DC’s most iconic neighborhood.. This is a small-group tour of about 8 people.

A portion of each ticket sale is donated to Bread For The City, an organization who provides food, clothing, medical care, and legal and social services to reduce the burden of poverty for DC residents.

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 La Vacanza Travel food tours.

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.
