Beskrivelse
Udforsk den politiske kerne af Washington DC! Denne tur tager besøgende gennem hjertet af føderal magt i Washington DC, ser på historien om vores nationens hovedstad gennem linsen af arkitektur og byplanlægning. Fra den oprindelige L'Enfant byplan til den tumultuøse opførelse af Capitol and Grounds, fremkomsten af den storslåede Beaux-Arts Library of Congress og den imponerende Højesteret, og i dag. Prolif designere som Thomas Jefferson, Robert Mills, Frederick Law Olmstead og Daniel Burnham vil være fremtrædende. Kontrovers, kaos og bureaukrati er i overflod! En tur, der ikke må gå glip af arkitektur- og historieentusiaster.

Awesome tour!
I would highly recommend this tour, even if you are not interested in design or architecture, you are going to love it! Sam was our guide and he was awesome, he told us about the history of every pllace we went to, he was able to answer every one of our questions, he had fun facts and he even had diagrams, plans, sections of the buildings in his iPad. I will highly encourage you to book this tour (nnot sponsored) or any other of DC Design tours.

DC Design Tours and Carolyn are fantastic . You will not be disappointed. Carolyn had a wealth of interesting information and presented it in a way that we all enjoyed….even my teenagers! She is very personable and fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DC tour!

Worth every penny.
Took my parents on this tour and we were very impressed by the guide's deep knowledge and ability to engage our group with fun anecdotes and a sympathetic, well-informed view of the past. It's my second tour with DC Design (I took the first five years ago) and I can't recommend them enough. Plus they were very flexible--when we had to cancel because of Covid, they offered us credit, so we were able to rebook a couple of months later without any problems.

A brilliant tour - highly recommended
This was a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours in the city. Our guide Sam delivered an interesting but fun tour, starting at Union Station and including the Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Capitol. Interesting features were pointed out and anecdotes told during a leisurely walk with time to take photos and ask questions. Recommended for everyone interested in finding out more about this beautiful city, how it was built and how it works today.

Interesting, fun tour
Terrific tours from our guide Carolyn at DC Design tours - we did a tour of the main monuments and it was so good we booked again and also did a tour of Arlington Cemetery. Carolyn tweaked the tours to suit our interests and stamina, held the kids (and adults) in rapt attention, answered all our questions and shared lots of details and history we would not otherwise have known with a lot of warmth and humour. Strongly recommended.

Couldn’t have been better!
Carolyn was a wonderful guide for our family group of seven. We would definitely use her on our next trip to DC. And I’ve already recommended her to several friends. Thanks for perfect experience.
