★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 512 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $70Our pick

Taste DC on a 2-hour donut walking tour from Western Market to CityCenterDC, sampling fresh treats and hearing White House history.

“Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind, provided a great experience for the walking tour. Donuts were mediocre. First batch were cold so tasted like oil, second stop two donuts were fine but nothing legendary, third stop had the best donut, forth stop wasn’t a donut. Value of the cost for myself and my niece vs the total of 4 donuts and gelato we received did not seem worth it.”

Small-group DC food tour with Tim: six tasting stops, four drinks, local bites, and a rooftop nightcap across neighborhoods in 4 hours.

“It was a great experience for our first walking food tour. I didn’t know what to expect and thought it was going to be a march from one restaurant to another, which would have been OK. Our guide, Tim, gave us so more much than what we expected. He has a profound love and knowledge for DC and the communities that make up the fabric and history of DC. The night experiencing the food and drinks and neighborhoods is something that will stick with us for a long time. I can recommend Tim’s tour without any reservation.”

Small-group Georgetown food tour mixing croissants, chocolate, coffee, and DC history, ending by the C&O Canal locks. 3–3.5 hours.

“I’m glad we did this otherwise I never would have seen Georgetown. The only downside (and obviously wouldn’t be the same for everyone) was that it was too much food. Appreciate a full portion size but 4 full size things were a lot personally. Our guide was engaging and also noticed when people were having trouble keeping up and slowed his pace a bit which was considerate.”

“Tried some really lovely food with great historical insights from Robert, our guide. Learned a lot about some of the more off-beat events of the past. It was a really hot day, but Robert did his best to keep us in the shade. I like the fact that there was the option to purchase cocktails at a couple of the locations. Centring around he East Market was also a great way to see how the locals eat and shop. The people on the tour were also lovely.”
