★★★★★ Rated Excellent on TripAdvisor | Private tours only | Expert local guides | Flexible Rescheduling
Washington DC has one of the most exciting and underrated food scenes in the country. More Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than almost any other American city. A neighborhood food culture that reflects the city’s extraordinary diversity. Markets, hole-in-the-wall institutions, and dining rooms that have hosted presidents and foreign dignitaries for over a century.
Our food tours are private experiences designed for your group, built around your interests, and led by guides who know this city’s food scene as well as they know its history. No set departure times, no joining a group of strangers. Just you, your guide, and some of the best eating in Washington DC.
All Private. All Delicious. All DC.
Built around your group
Every food tour we offer is private — meaning it runs on your schedule, at your pace, and with your specific interests in mind. Tell us what you love to eat, what you want to avoid, and what kind of experience you are looking for. We will build something around that.
Food and history together
Our guides are historians first. On our food tours, the eating and the storytelling happen at the same time — you learn the history of the neighborhood, the market, and the city through the food that has defined each place. It is a more complete experience than a standard food tour.
Perfect for special occasions
Our food tours are among our most popular choices for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate outings, and visiting family who want to experience the city through its food. If you are looking for a genuinely memorable way to spend an afternoon or evening in DC, this is it.
Our Food Tour Experiences
All food tours are private and customizable. Browse the experiences below and contact us to book.
Eastern Market and Barracks Row
Eastern Market is one of DC’s oldest and most beloved institutions — a working public market that has anchored Capitol Hill since 1873. Barracks Row, the neighborhood’s main commercial strip, has evolved from a Civil War-era supply route into one of DC’s most interesting dining streets. Your guide combines the history of the neighborhood with stops at the market, local producers, and the restaurants that define the area.
Georgetown Food Tour
One of DC’s most storied neighborhoods has a food scene to match. From institutions that have been feeding Georgetown residents for decades to newer spots that have made the neighborhood a dining destination, your guide takes you through the culinary side of a neighborhood with 300 years of history behind it. Martin’s Tavern alone — the oldest family-run restaurant in the city — is worth the visit.
Alexandria Food Tour
Just across the Potomac, Old Town Alexandria has a food scene that punches well above its size. Colonial-era taverns, independent restaurants, and a waterfront that has been feeding traders and travelers since the 1700s. Your guide brings together the history of one of America’s best-preserved colonial towns with the food that makes it worth visiting today.
Michelin Star Food Tour
Washington DC has more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than almost any other American city — a fact that surprises most visitors. This private tour takes you through the city’s finest dining in a format built around your group’s preferences, budget, and schedule. Your guide provides the context — the chefs, the stories, the culinary traditions behind each kitchen — while you enjoy some of the best food in the country. Contact us to discuss options and build a custom experience.
Custom Food Tour
Have a specific neighborhood, cuisine, or experience in mind that is not listed above? We build custom food tours across the entire DC area. Tell us what you are interested in — a specific cuisine, a particular neighborhood, a combination of food and history — and we will put something together. After nearly two decades in this city there is very little our guides do not know about where to eat.
Corporate and Group Food Experiences
Our food tours are a popular choice for corporate outings, team building, and client entertainment. A private food tour combines the best of DC’s dining scene with the storytelling and local knowledge that make our tours different from anything else in the city. Contact us to discuss options for your group.
How Our Food Tours Work
All tours are private
We do not run food tours as public group departures. Every food tour is booked privately for your group — meaning your own guide, your own start time, and an experience built around your preferences.
Pricing is customized
Food tour pricing depends on group size, destinations, and the specific stops included. The cost of food and drink at each stop is typically separate from the tour guide fee. Contact us and we will put together a proposal that fits your group and your budget.
Easy to book
Fill out our inquiry form or contact us directly with your group size, preferred date, and the type of experience you are looking for. We will get back to you within 24 hours with availability and a suggested itinerary.
