Secret Food Tours Washington D.C. (Georgetown)

Secret Food Tours Washington D.C. (Georgetown) is a guided walking tasting tour run by Secret Food Tours, an international food-tour operator that lists its Washington, D.C. departures at secretfoodtours.com/washington-DC. The route is set in Georgetown, the historic neighbourhood in the northwest of the District of Columbia, in the 20007 postal area, and the exact meeting point is emailed after booking. The tour lasts three to three and a half hours and includes four to five food stops on a locally curated menu, so the overall mix is American and international dishes with a sweet or dessert-style tasting among the savoury courses. Group size is capped at 12, which gives guests time to talk with the guide and move through venues without crowding. The operator page displays a 5.0 rating based on 92 Tripadvisor and Google reviews. The ticket costs about 94.99 US dollars per person and covers the food stops; an upgraded drinks package is available for an extra charge, and other drinks and gratuity should be budgeted separately. The tour is conducted in English. As the name suggests, the menu is kept as a surprise, with the venues named on the day rather than in advance, which suits curious eaters but means dietary requirements should be mentioned at booking so the operator can plan around them. The guide shares the history of Georgetown, from its days as a tobacco port to its Federal-era architecture and the shops and restaurants along M Street NW and Wisconsin Avenue NW. Georgetown has no Metro station, so visitors usually arrive by bus, taxi or rideshare, or walk from Foggy Bottom. The tour operates year-round, and comfortable shoes are useful for the brick sidewalks. The current schedule, price and any seasonal changes should be confirmed on the operator's booking page.
