Tim made this food tour an absolute highlight of our trip to DC! His in-depth knowledge, incredible energy, and amazing personality made the whole experience so much fun. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time, and we can’t recommend it enough! Whether it’s your first visit to DC, like mine, or you’ve been a dozen times, like my boyfriend, you’ll discover something new and walk away with a whole new appreciation for the city. The food and drinks were fantastic, and Tim brought everything to life with his stories and insights. Tim is officially our forever DC guide for return visits. If you’re considering this tour, book it. You’ll be so glad you did!

This is possibly my favorite tour I have ever been on, and I have been on many throughout this country and others. Tim is an amazing guide. He loves his city and it shows in his passion and storytelling throughout the time. A 4-hour tour flew by and became 5-hours withe not wanting it to end. The history lessons are informative and Tim is able to answer any questions asked. It is a great way to learn about actual DC outside of the political areas. The FOOD...OMG!! The stops and food choices wrapped in the local culture and everything was delicious!! He even accommodated a mocktail menu for my husband who doesn't drink. With the drinks included, this is an excellent value. This tour is intimate and everyone really gets to know each other. I left this tour feeling as if I had a new friend. The culmination of rooftop views over the city at night was the perfect ending to a perfect evening. If you take only one tour in Washington DC, do this one!

A must do in DC! I choose food tours to learn more about the community and local life for which Tim does an excellent job showing you awesome locally run restaurants. However, what makes this tour unique is his absolute zeal in doing so. He has a passion for the city and a love for the restaurant owners that shows he is part of fabric of the local society. I feel like I spent an evening with a good friend and he even surprised us with a small bottle of cashew fruit juice as I mentioned I wondered what it tasted like without the alcohol, it’s almost like a mango juice. One of the best street food tours I’ve done and worth the money.

We had a blast on this tour! There was a very well curated selection of restaurants, foods and drinks, all with a story behind their history. Tim was a great guide, and his love of DC was infectious! We left full and with a much better understanding of DC that we’ll take into future visits. We’ve done a lot of food tours, and this was one of our favorites - well worth the money!

A MUST DO when visiting DC!!! Absolutely LOVED this food tour! Our guide Tim was amazing and very knowledgeable about how the locals live in DC. My husband and I enjoyed learning about the different cultures and ethnicities that make DC so special. The food and drinks were phenomenal. This food tour was the highlight of our trip!

Recently we booked a private tour with Tim for my family and I. Everyone really enjoyed: the stories, the food, the walk and the places we visited. Tim goes the extra mile to make sure we could all fall in love with DC as much as he has! Pace yourself with the food since everyone was mostly full before the pie at the end! Wish there was some chocolate option for dessert, but that was the only complaint I heard from anyone about this tour. He even got us in touch with the owner of the Pupusa restaurant, and we had a class on how to make them two days later! Lastly, the mocktails were actually better in some cases than the alcoholic drinks! :-) If you haven't tried this tour yet, you need to! Enjoy Go on this tour and enjoy.

Fun tour! Go with your friends. It is nice with a group. Nice walk. Not difficult. Tim was lovely. Gave us some interesting information about DC and the neighborhoods regarding the architecture, the food, and the people. We made stops at 3 local restaurants for food and cocktails and had drinks and dessert on a beautiful rooftop overlooking the city.

This was a fantastic tour. Tim was super-knowledgeable and very friendly. I have lived in the DC area for almost 40 years, but I still learned a lot on the tour. The food we ate was terrific, and seemingly representative of the many types of cuisine we can get in Washington. I highly recommend this tour.

Friendly guide providing interesting information Great walk around DC to several locations for food and drinks while the guide regaled us with stories about the people, neighborhoods, architecture and food. Pleasant way to spend an evening and something great to do with your out of town guests or if you are local and want to try something new.

BOOK YOUR TOUR NOW! Book your tour NOW, you won't regret it! We came during the great heat wave and it was HOT, but Tim was AWESOME! Neither of my kids like seafood and they both LOVED ALL the food and mocktails! The history and the personal stories added so much more to the tour than just facts! We booked 4 other tours and this was BY FAR the BEST one in DC! You will have a great time, just book it!

Thank you so much for this AMAZING review! I’m especially glad to hear your kids enjoyed the tour. I’ve been thinking about lowering the minimum age for my tours, and you just convinced me I should.

As someone who lives in the neighborhood I can’t recommend this tour enough. Things that I walk by daily were pointed out that I had not ever noticed. Additionally, I suggest trusting Tim’s ordering suggestions. I had been to a couple of the stops before and had never tried the suggested items, but they all were amazing. If you have guests, this is such an amazing experience that is vastly superior to the tradition tourist things around town.

Wait, what?? There’s THAT much interesting history in the heart of D.C!? I had no idea. And I used to live in nearby Arlington (plus, my dad was born and raised in DC). Tim not only did a superb job finely crafting (and researching) every detail of this amazing tour, he does a fantastic job delivering it!! He’s very personable, fun, knowledgeable and cleverly engages his guests to really explore and participate in the tour, not simply do it. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll enjoy the unexpected! Cannot recommend this tour enough… both for visitors to DC as well as locals!! Thank you, Tim!

Wow, thank you so much for the stellar review! I love surprising locals, including folks from just across the river in Arlington, with the incredible, hidden stories right here in the heart of DC.

A lot of people think they know Washington, D.C., but my Drink•Eat•Walk food, drink, & walking tours are designed to dig deeper into the unexpected history & culture that even lifelong Washingtonians might miss. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you, and I truly appreciate you recommending me to both DC visitors, and locals looking for a unique experience. Thanks for touring with me! -Tim

Tim made this one of the highlights of our trip to Washington, D.C.! The food was outstanding, but what made the experience so special were the stories behind every stop. We didn’t just eat—we learned about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems along the way. As family, seeing Tim in his element was such a joy—and honestly, even better than we imagined. His passion, knowledge, and energy made the whole experience unforgettable. If you really want to experience Washington beyond the typical tourist attractions, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you, Tim, for such a fun, memorable, and inspiring afternoon! 👏👏🔥🍽️🚶‍♀️

Like visiting a friend in their favorite place! This is more like visiting a friend and having them take you to their favorite places! Tim provides an amazing experience and really wants you to discover the DC that he loves. The itinerary cover several stops that offer unique and high quality food and drinks in a sit down atmosphere. The history of the establishments, as well as the history of the neighborhoods, are seamlessly blended into the evenings conversation. The walking didn’t seem difficult as it was broken up by our stops. If you want to experience the neighborhoods and people that make DC what it is, this is the tour for you.

Tourists and locals will love this delicious break from monuments and museums. Having been on food tours all over the world, I can say that this one is truly unique and special. In addition to incredible food, Tim provides an interesting and informative history of the District of Columbia and its people. Unlike most of the other DC tours, this one takes you away from the mall to local neighborhoods and stories about our capital city's founding. It is a wonderful complement to and break from the typical Washington sightseeing of monuments and museums. Tim is passionate about DC, and it shows. He is a great storyteller, and he introduced us to delicious and unique food that was expertly woven into his tale of DC.
