5.00Tim has a passion for DC the history, the people and the communities. It was fascinating to learn. He selected great places to eat and drink. He was very gerous with his time. We highly recommend it.

5.00One thing is clear from the very start of this tour: Tim loves DC: he loves the people, the food, the history and the community. From the start at Hanks Oyster Bar in Dupont Circle to El Tamarindo, Elfegne, and Henry's Soul Cafe in Adams Morgan he shared interesting facts of how the communities of DC came together and how food was integral to each. If you love food, you will love this tour. If you love history, you will love this tour. And whether your a tourist and know very little about DC or a history buff and think you know a lot about DC, you will absolutely love this tour. Highly recommend it!

5.00Tim was an amazing tour guide, and I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting DC! I had been to the city several times before but had not walked through the neighborhoods of actual DC locals. The food and drinks were great, and the tour was very interesting. Highly recommended.
Great birthday experience

5.00My parents booked this food tour on a whim for my birthday. I love food, trying new things, and appreciating international cuisine. But as someone who frequents U Street and Adams Morgan quite often, I was skeptical. I wanted to experience somewhere new to get a taste of a DC I didn’t know. Safe to say, I was thoroughly surprised and pleased with this tour. I experienced places I’d been hundreds of times in a completely eye-opening way. I tried foods I never would have even thought to, and left each stop wanting more. This tour is amazing, Tim is very knowledgeable and personable, and every place on this journey is one I will be coming back to. Thank you Tim for a great birthday!
Fantastic! Fun! Informative! Delicious!

5.00Fantastic! Fun! Informative! Delicious! The Eat Drink Walk tour with Tim, our guide and the owner, was filled with fantastic food from various local restaurants where we talked to many of the owners and ate their specialty dishes. We wandered through, behind and up to learn the history of DC and interesting local knowledge of the area around DuPont Circle. Tim was full of enthusiasm and inspiration for DC and shared his love of the city. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour!

5.00This was a great experience! Tim was so knowledgeable and friendly. He has put a lot of thought into creating this tour. The food and drinks we experienced were amazing. We booked the tour with our 24-year-old son for his birthday. He loved it and learned a lot about some of the neighborhoods where he has spent some time. Thank you, Tim! Five stars!
Fun night with food, drinks and history!

5.00What a fun night! I treated my 21-year old niece and her boyfriend, plus my 24-year old son for a fun night out. It was the nieces first “grown up solo trip” to DC after many as a kid. My 24-year old is a generally a curmudgeon…but he and the rest of us had an amazing time. I’ve lived in Alexandria for 25+ years and this was my first time on some of the streets. We all learned a ton from Tim, this is almost as much of a history tour as it is a food tour. Meeting was easy, just a few blocks from the metro. We hit 3 great local restaurants, had a slice of pre-purchased sweet potato pie, and then enjoyed an amazing 360 degree view of DC from the rooftop of Tim’s apartment building (with a nightcap of local brews). It was the boyfriend’s first time having Ethiopian food and he raved about it. My niece is Gluten sensitive and Tim made sure to take that into account and adjusted menus to work for her. I’ve been on one other food tour where you had to pay extra for beverages. On this one fun cocktails and interesting wine are included! Highly recommend!

5.00This is such a great tour! I’ve lived in this city (and neighborhood) for 10 years and learned so much about the streets around me. My friends who joined us when visiting from Europe just loved it, especially getting to try so many different foods. I will be doing it again when I have more visitors in town!
