A phenomenal and active way to learn about the city, its architecture and behind-the-scenes history. I've lived in the DC area for a decade now and took my husband and mom, who was visiting from out of town. We experienced the Dupont neighborhood in a way we never had before -- and the insights into international relations and embassy culture were an added bonus. Would definitely do this again and explore other tours with this group! Christine was so knowledgable.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a nice combination of history and architecture. It was a probably 2 hours and 20 minutes, so allow for a flexible end time.

My dad and I had a fantastic time on this walking tour of Embassy row! Our tour guide Ellory was super knowledgeable and charismatic! The tour was a good balance between architectural facts and history about the mansions on Massachusetts Ave prior to their current statuses as embassies! Highly recommend!

Sam our tour guide was fantastic! The history and stories were so engaging and entertaining. He had us all enjoying and appreciating the architecture too.
We decided to do this last minute and Carolyn was so responsive and helpful in setting this up and helped us pick the perfect time for the tour that met our schedule.
Highly recommend for those interested in history and enjoy walking around some beautiful neighborhoods of DC.

Sam was a great guide. Led the group well, full of interesting historical facts and stories and we saw some beautiful old homes (mostly now embassies).
