⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Food, Community, and Storytelling!
January 2026 • Tripadvisor
“My family and I had an absolutely fantastic experience on Tim’s food tour. My boyfriend and I live in the neighborhood, and my parents were visiting from out of town, and despite that mix, the experience felt completely new and exciting for all of us. Even as locals, every stop was a new experience.
From the very beginning, the tour felt incredibly personable and thoughtful — never scripted or rushed. Tim is exceptionally knowledgeable, not just about the food, but about the history of the neighborhood, the restaurants, and the people behind them. You could truly tell how much he cares about the community and takes pride in supporting local businesses. He shared stories that made each stop feel meaningful and personal, and he made everyone feel welcome and engaged throughout the tour. It was the perfect balance of great food, local insight, and genuine connection. I couldn’t recommend this experience (and Tim as guide) more highly!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Foodie Experience
December 2025 • Tripadvisor
“This tour was a spectacular way of experiencing the different cultures that make up DC. We ate at family-owned restaurants and heart the stories behind how they started and became successful. We ate absolutely amazing food and drinks. I loved getting to try food I had never experienced before and hearing stories of the immigrants who came to the area for a better life and added their cultural heritage to the fabric of the DC area. Tim was a fantastic storyteller and we left the tour full and happy. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to eat the cuisine of the locals. This tour is probably better geared for adults due to the walking and the types of food, but foodies of any age would love it.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unexpected Experience
December 2025 • Tripadvisor
“There’s a difference between “DC” and “Washington,” and after you take this tour you’ll know why and will proudly say, “I’ve experienced DC.” Tim is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who has a passion to tell the story of the people who make up this city, what brought them here, and how their neighborhoods developed. And the food is spectacular! Tim has curated some amazing dishes and drinks that represent the people of DC. You’ll walk away with knowledge of the geography, the people and the food that most tourist don’t experience. I enjoyed learning about “Black Broadway,” with a piece of sweet potato pie in hand and hearing about the El Salvadoran who built an amazing restaurant to feed the people of the city. The museums are great and speak to the history of the country Drink Eat Walk speaks to the soul of “DC.””

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly one of the best tours you could experience!
November 2025 • Tripadvisor
“This tour has it all: great food and drink; incredible stories, history, and background; and a charming, funny, knowledgeable tour guide who goes out of his way to make sure you end up loving HIS D.C. almost as much as he does. I cannot recommend Tim’s tour enough – after many, many food and drink tours in many, many cities, this simply is one of the absolute best. From the numerous diverse communities that make up the backbone of D.C. come a broad selection of culinary delight and flavor, incredible street art, and cool experiences. Do yourself a favor and book today.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Way to Get to Know the Real D.C.
November 2025 • Tripadvisor
“This is clearly a labor of love for our group leader, Tim. He emits a palpable fondness for the city and wants his tour groups to truly understand the real D.C. and the people who live here, away from the politics and regular tourist destinations.
He supplements that passion with a tremendous amount of research, sharing knowledge that I had no idea about, despite living in the area for most of my life.
The food and drinks were also amazing at each stop, but it was the stories about the proprietors and their cultures that made this so much more than a tour of authentic international foods in the nation’s capital.
Whether it’s your first visit to D.C. for a conference or you’re a lifelong resident of the DMV, this is a great way to spend a few hours.”— Roger F.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional, thoughtful and delicious. A MUST DO tour for DC visitors
November 2025 • Tripadvisor
“I went on a DrinkEatWalk tour with my wife and a group of friends. There were 8 of us in total. I’ve traveled to 53 countries and 45 U.S. states and I’ve never been on a tour as fun, interesting, thoughtful and informative – it was exceptional. I grew up in the Washington area and I also learned so much about DC that I never knew so this tour is great for locals too. The guide was awesome and the food and drinks were excellent, which made it all so much fun and delicious! We loved it.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tour felt like a true love letter to DC
November 2025 • Google
“It beautifully wove together the city’s rich, diverse history with the story of how generations of immigrants were welcomed, encouraged, and empowered to build better lives for themselves – while shaping a stronger, more vibrant city for everyone around them.
Tim was an amazing guide. His knowledge, warmth, and storytelling brought every neighborhood and every dish to life. You could feel his passion for the city and its communities in every stop along the way.
The food and drinks were absolutely fantastic – thoughtful, varied, and truly delicious – and by the end of the tour our bellies were full and our hearts were even fuller.
If you’re looking for a tour that feeds you in every sense of the word – history, culture, connection, and incredible food – this one is truly unforgettable.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Around
November 2025 • Tripadvisor
“Tim was a fantastic guide, amazing teacher, and gave the best tour around! I’ve lived here for 8 years and Tim definitely taught me new info about neighborhoods I have frequented and already felt knowledgeable about. The food and drinks were delicious, diverse, and each told a story about the neighborhood (and easily able to accomodate a vegetarian). The pacing of the food and drinks was perfect, with some walking and learning between each to get you hungry/thirsty for the next one. Tim’s historical knowledge and love of the city is evident at every step of the way, and he would be a great guide to orient any first-time or many-time visitors. Or, even residents of DC looking to have a fun night with food, drinks, and seeing new sights in Dupont / Adams Morgan!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tour of DC!
October 2025 • Tripadvisor
“Last Friday, I joined the Drink-Eat-Walk tour with friends to explore a new DC neighborhood beyond Capitol Hill. Although I’m a selective eater, the experience exceeded expectations. Tim, our guide, was highly knowledgeable and shared unique insights about the city. The food was excellent, and I sampled dishes I wouldn’t have chosen on my own. Each restaurant was welcoming, and Tim’s rapport with the staff enhanced the experience. The four-hour tour flew by, and I was genuinely disappointed when it ended at Exiles. I highly recommend this tour to both residents and visitors.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don’t miss this tour!!
October 2025 • Tripadvisor
“I recently went on the D.E.W. food tour with Tim as our guide, and he was absolutely excellent! He brought so much energy and knowledge to the experience. We explored some of my favorite neighborhoods in NW DC, and even as a second-generation Washingtonian, I learned so many new things about the city’s history and culture.
I particularly loved exploring some of NW DC’s alleys/street art, the cocktail at El Tamarindo (Rum, Marañón, Pineapple, Vanilla, Lime…WOW) and the Ethiopian spot where we not only enjoyed the food but also watched traditional Ethiopian dancing videos. It was such a fun and authentic way to experience the diversity of DC’s food scene.
I’d highly recommend this tour to both locals and visitors. You’ll leave full, happy, and with a deeper appreciation for the city’s incredible neighborhoods. 10/10!!!”
