Drink•Eat•Walk DC Food Tour Business Quarterly Review — 2025 Q3
It’s been three months since my first tour, so it’s time for a self-assessment: 👍 👎 I’m in the star-rating biz, though, so I guess I have to review myself through that lens: Overall rating = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ Despite the negativity, I’m pretty happy with how things are going. All I really care about in this…

DC Food Tour Learnings — TTFD
A continuation of this series On my first couple of DC food tours I had guests meet me at the fountain in the center of Dupont Circle. It’s the perfect local DC neighborhood meetup spot, with lots of benches & seats, and it’s alive with people & activity, especially at the 5pm meetup time. After…

DC Food Tour Learnings — Golden Feedback
All guests on my first two tours have been friends. I mean, they’ve booked & paid like standard customers, but I’ve knew all of them before they did. That’s partially because: without a brand; reputation; reviews; word-of-mouth and begging are the only way to get bookings in your first season in the tourism world. However,…

Let’s D•E•W DC Like a Local!
Is this thing still on‽ Welp, happy to announce that Drink•Eat•Walk is officially on! My first tour is this Thursday, July 3rd, and bookings are now open through the end of October. You can book directly here on DrinkEatWalk.com, but for now I’m trying to drive bookings through Tripadvisor & Viator to get some clicks…

Chasing History
I took some more local DC walking tours this weekend, these ones focused on history & architecture. They were great, and the guides were super knowledgeable. Once again, though, they weren’t full of much joy, nor was there much interaction amongst the group (I think those two things are related). The only pic I took…

First Tour & Route

DC Food Tour Learnings → Part 2
I took a food tour here in DC a few weeks back, and wrote up the first part of my learnings, focused on the business side, in this post. Now it’s time for my review of it from the customer side (though still through my business-building 👀). And my customer review is that the tour…

Walking Practice
I walked out another potential tour route today, this time on Roosevelt Island on the Potomac. It’s an amazing place that most folks never visit, even locals. So, potentially perfect for Drink•Eat•Walk. Then again, everything outdoors here seems perfect during autumn.

DC Food Tour Learnings → Part 1
I took a Georgetown food tour in DC last weekend, partially because I’d never taken one here before and wanted to learn more about Georgetown, and partially to check out how other local companies are running their food tours. I’m so glad I took it. The tour was good, and I learned a bit about…

First Tour Practice
I led some friends on a practice run yesterday for the potential hiking tour I’ve been working on. The route I mapped turned out to be a good distance: The hiking itself was great: And the fresh empanadas (and drinks) I bought & brought were the perfect mid-hike picnic fodder: I think this hiking tour…

Same Same, but Different
I discussed in my Origins post that there wasn’t really anything like Drink•Eat•Walk in DC, which helped convince me to start building it. I still think there’s nothing exactly the same, but the more I’m researching the market, the more overlaps I’m seeing from other tours in DC. I’m still feeling good about my prospects,…

Drink-Eat-Walk: Origins
I’ve traveled, a lot, and mostly done it independently, just me & my backpack. But to travel alone is to only be alone when you want to — you’re always around similar-minded travelers, whether it’s in the hostels, the pubs, or on small group tours. If I’m being honest, it’s those small group tours that…
