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!
Fun DC Drink, Eat, Walk Tour!

5.00This tour was fantastic! Our guide Tim’s passion for the city he calls home was clearly evident as he shared DC history and beautiful architecture along the way. Each dining spot was carefully procured, timed perfectly, and an overall exceptional experience. We had the opportunity to dine at local family owned establishments with amazing food and drinks. They all took great care of us! The most impressive part was realizing through this tour how the threads of diversity are woven together to create the tapestry that makes our nation’s capital unique. I can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend this tour!
Super knowledgeable guide; fun overall experience!

5.00As a DC resident I LOVED our tour! Our guide Tim was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about DC’s neighborhoods and their stories. Instead of feeling like a typical tour, it felt more like exploring the city with a well-informed friend who knew all the hidden gems. The pacing was just right—plenty of time to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. The food and drink selections were outstanding. Each stop offered something unique, showcasing local flavors and thoughtfully curated pairings. It was clear that a lot of care went into choosing places that truly represent the character of the area. What really stood out was how seamlessly the tour combined storytelling with the culinary experience. Learning about the history and culture of the neighborhood while sampling delicious bites and drinks made the entire experience immersive and memorable. Whether you a DC native or just passing through, you’re going to love this tour too!

5.00I had a fantastic experience on the Drink Eat Walk DC tour last Thursday—easily a 5-star evening! The mix of great food, drinks, and local stories made for a fun and memorable way to explore the city. A standout was the delicious Anamoro cocktail made with Cihuatan Indigo Rum at El Tamarindo—absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and flavorful DC experience.

5.00Simply the Best Food tour I’ve been on. I often go on food tours on many of my vacations .. This is by far, hands down, the best one ever ! I highly recommend Tim’s tour with no hesitation; this tour is truly a MUST ! Tim thoroughly explained and broke down Washington DC city from Washington to DC, which I never knew .. It is a given we visit the nations capitol to see museums and monuments . Why Eat,Drink and Walk ?? Tims wealth of knowledge and passion for his beloved city is so transparent; hearing the enriched variety of cultures and neighborhoods , pairing them with specialty cocktails , appetizers and dinner was beyond exceptional .. I so enjoyed hearing the over 100 years of history of the neighborhoods growing and developing to what they are today. . An added benefit was seeing the beauty of the rooftop night skyline to end a wonderful night .. I always will remember this tour because Tim had taken so many photos and he gave us all the recipes of the specialty cocktails. I was never really a Foodie … but now I may become one !!! Enjoy !! Thank you Tim, Mary and Larry
Learn, Laugh and Enjoy

5.00As a resident I wasn’t sure I would get much out of the tour. I was wrong! Such great historical information on some fantastic DC neighborhoods. Food was great, hospitality was great and enjoyed meeting local restaurant owners and learning their stories as well. DC residents will love the details of our city. Visitors will learn DC is much more than our monuments and museums. You won’t be disappointed.
Fun and informative

5.00We had such a good time on this food tour. Tim picked restaurants to match the history lessons and I’m so glad to have tried these foods that I normally wouldn’t have picked for myself. All the food and drinks were amazing and we learned so much about the culture and history of D.C. Tim is very considerate and plans everything down to the hand wipes. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the D.C. area.
