"I’m a DC local, but I don’t know a ton about the city’s local history. This was the perfect tour to fix that! I learned SO much about U Street’s history, and I got to try so much amazing food!! My tour guide, Tiffany, was extremely knowledgeable. If you’re looking to get off the beaten path in DC and eat great food, you definitely need to take this tour."
– pinkcaddytravelogue · Tripadvisor"I took a trip to DC thanks to a surprise destination travel agency and they booked this tour for me. I can be a picky eater but I loved everything we tried and the history that Tiffany provided during the tour was great. So happy I had the chance to join and left feeling like I learned so much about the city that I would have missed if I didn’t go with Carpe DC! Highly recommend to anyone that visits DC."
– Megan T. · Tripadvisor"Joined family from out of town on this food tour of Old Town Alexandria. We benefited from great weather--perfect for the experience--and had enjoyable walk through old town. Stopping at five sites for food/beverage (good beer in my case!), and hearing about the history of many interesting sites such as Christchurch, Carlyle House, Torpedo Factory, etc. It's a great way to introduce yourself to a city or to enjoy time with family. Great job by the guide Zach as well; informative and engaging. I'll look into other DC Food Tour experiences."
– John W. · Tripadvisor"The tour was a great way to get acquainted with the history and food places at U street! The locations were interesting and the choices of food made me want to go back and try them again. Also, Tiffany was an excellent guide! It was a plus that we went with a bigger group on a weekend so there were lots of conversations and it never got boring. Recommended!"
– Julianne · Tripadvisor"My girlfriend and I went to the Baltimore Food tour. It was filled with History of Fells Point and a lot of eating. (some 21+ drinks too!). I would highly recommend going if you are from out of town and want to check out the Baltimore food scene. Our tour guide, Scott, was knowledgeable, professional and if I went on other tours I would want him as our guide. 5/5 stars!"
– Josh M. · TripadvisorIt doesn’t matter if you’re visiting for the weekend or planning a special event with friends; our itineraries are designed to make you feel more like travelers discovering a new city than Segway-riding tourists being herded like cattle.
We focus on local, community-driven restaurants whose food isn’t only delicious; but also reflects the city’s dynamic culture. Combine good eats with discovering cool facts about the city’s evolving music scene and ever-changing architecture, and you’ve got yourself quite a perfect day.
