ツアーオプション
旅程
港のジョージタウンは何世紀も前にさかのぼり、今日では石畳の通り、歴史的な家屋、庭園で知られ、ショッピングとダイニングの地区として見られています。時間をさかのぼって、昔ながらのレンガと緑が残る公園のような雰囲気を楽しむには、徒歩で散策するのが一番です。
ジョージタウンの工業地区を通る歴史的な運河では、ゲストは運河のボートについて学び、ボートが運河に沿って行き来するのに役立つ「ロック」（ゲート）を見ることができます。
確かに街全体で最も古い建物の 1 つであるこの古風な趣のある場所は、国立公園局によって運営されており、座って休憩できる美しい庭園があります。歴史的保存のために。たばこやほら話が近くの港で取引されていた、より単純な時代を楽しみ、思い出すのは今、私たちのものです.
近隣の 12 軒近くの家に住んでいたケネディ家ゆかりの家屋の 1 つをご覧ください。
1789 年に設立されたこの権威あるイエズス会大学は、医学、法律、および学部課程で広く知られています。パトリック ヒーリー ビルのそびえ立つ尖塔と創設者ジョン キャロルの像をご覧ください。暖かい日には、生徒たちは目の前の芝生でくつろぎ、フリスビーを投げたり、読書をしたり、社交を楽しんだりします。
ツアーは、1970 年代の同名の映画のおかげで有名になった歴史的な階段、エクソシストの階段の近くで終了します。
ジョージタウンの施設であるこのレストランは、1933 年以来地元で所有されています。ダークウッドのパネル、壁の白黒写真、バーの常連客は、この場所にある種の懐かしさと雰囲気を与えています。古典的なアメリカ料理は、屋内席と屋外席の両方で、毎年人々が戻ってきます

We did the tour with Ingeborg. She was born and raised in Georgetown, and it shows through her love for the neighborhood and depth of knowledge. We had only six persons in our group tour, so it was comfortable. Ingeborg was outstanding. She was knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and timing as she told us history and insider scoops on historical Georgetown. The tour is well conceived and well-paced to allow us to see important historical buildings and multiple architectural styles. We have traveled to 50 countries and done many city historical walking tours. This is one of the best we have done.
I’ve been on some great tours but I can honestly say this has been my favorite by far. Wayne was so knowledgeable and funny. There wasn’t a moment during the two hour tour that I wasn’t engaged. Couldn’t recommend going on this tour enough!
Thank you! We're thrilled this was your favorite tour! Wayne's knowledge and humor truly make the experience special. We really appreciate your recommendation!
Wesley was an excellent tour guide! We were able to see a couple of JFK's places plus the staircase from The Exorcist. **Could Viator please adjust the starting point for this tour? I copy/pasted the address from Viator into the Uber app and was given the wrong location. The starting point is between 30th and Thomas Jefferson somewhere near The Old Stone House. Not at The Old Stone House...just near it. Please confirm with tour guides. Thank you!
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Wesley and appreciate the helpful feedback about the meeting point. We'll make sure this is passed along to the team.
Interesting tour around Georgetown with history and local information including places to visit and eat
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Georgetown and appreciated the local history and recommendations. We hope you had a wonderful time!
Tour guide Colin was very knowledgeable. Experience was great. We all enjoyed the Georgetown Walking Tour.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the Georgetown Walking Tour with Colin. His knowledge made the experience even better. We appreciate your kind words!
Don’t get me wrong, there was much to see and learn during this hot day in August. I do think it would be better with the use of a microphone and ear buds. The talking as we walked was difficult to hear. Much of those conversations were between the guide and one or two guests but others were left out of hearing what was being said but I know interesting things were being talked about. I would have enjoyed more history of past and current events in Georgetown. There were periods of long walks where nothing was being said I kept thinking, “this is Georgetown, there has to be more to it than what we are learning”. Lots of walking on a hot day. The town could use a few sidewalk benches. This may be a tour best done by an electric vehicle like we rode on a night tour of DC. The guide was good but I just think he has more knowledge of history than we were getting. Make the questions and answers being asked by the guests known to all.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciate your helpful suggestions regarding audio, pacing, and content.
Colin was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and his love for the city is evident by the way he gives his tour. He was very mindful of the heat, always finding shady spots and even letting us take a water break at a local cafe. All in all we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back to take Colin's other tours! Much love, Brendan and Mykaela from Salem, Massachusetts <3
Thank you, Brendan and Mykaela! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Colin and appreciated his care in the heat. We look forward to welcoming you back for another tour!
Very hot and tiring but well worth the effort. Bring a lot of water if you’re walking in the summer. Katherine was very knowledgeable and quite delightful to tour with.
Thank you! We're glad you found the tour worthwhile and enjoyed it with Katherine. We appreciate the helpful tip about staying hydrated in the summer!
