Tour was great...it was a lot of food all together so go hungry!
Great experience!! Wonderful food! Excellent guide-Robert was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable! Even on a very hot day, it was such a positive experience!
good length of time and great info/food along the way!
Robert was a congenial and very knowledgeable guide. The food stops were most enjoyable and the historic repartee throughout the tour was enlightening especially for history buffs. I especially appreciated his compassion for my disabled husband who was a bit slow. Each dining stop offered a delightful and delicious bite of Georgetown. Highly recommend!
Robert was our guide and was excellent! Super knowledgeable of the area and you can tell he definitely enjoys doing this tour. He provided lots of interesting history of the area, in addition to the great food. All of the places we went to get food were excellent and you can tell he’s built up a good relationship with the businesses as he has given these tours. Say Cheese was my personal favorite restaurant stop on the trip but all of the food we had was excellent. Be sure to come hungry as you will leave super full and satisfied.
Robert did an amazing job with this food tour. We learned about Georgetown history and sampled delicious local cuisine. Robert was friendly and kept my daughter engaged throughout the tour. Would definitely recommend Robert and Vistor.

This am we met Robert and had an amazing tour! We learned interesting tidbits about Georgetown and its past residents while tasting DELICIOUS food!! Every stop, the food was so good! The Turkish coffee, the almond croissant , the chocolates plus meeting the owners/ confectioners and the tacos , I can’t pick a favorite! Our schedule was a little tight and we couldn’t go to the last spot but I’m sure it would have been yummy too! Anyone visiting for the first or twentieth time will find this tour memorable! Thanks Robert!
