Estabelecida cinqüenta anos antes da capital, Georgetown começou como uma cidade portuária áspera nas margens do rio Potomac, descrita por Abigail Adams como "um pequeno buraco sujo". Apesar de seu início modesto, Georgetown é agora o lar de mansões palatinais, cemitérios elegantes, igrejas estupendas e uma universidade de classe mundial. Vamos explorar os destaques e segredos do bairro mais exclusivo da DC, discutindo arquitetura, história, escândalo e muito mais. No final da turnê, veremos a transformação completa de Georgetown neste conto de roupas para riquezas.
Nosso passeio começa fora da loja de café / sobremesa favorita dos moradores de Georgetown, Baked & Wired. Pegue um lanche e vamos explorar! Começaremos no Canal C&O, obtendo uma visão geral da histórica história de Georgetown.
Em seguida, vamos dar uma olhada no interior do edifício mais antigo em Washington DC, antes de deixar o drag principal para explorar o bairro.
Passearemos pelas ruas de pedras, discutindo as casas de deslocadores como Jackie Kennedy e Ben Bradley. Veremos mansões imponentes, igrejas nobres e um estabelecimento antigo, antes de cruzar a Avenida Wisconsin para o lado oeste da cidade.
Fazendo o nosso caminho para a Universidade de Georgetown e abaixo das Escadas Exorcistas, vamos encerrar nas margens do rio Potomac na bela Georgetown Waterfront. Visões que discutimos incluem: • Chesapeake e Ohio Canal • Casa de Pedra Velha • Casa de Laird-Dunlop • Newton D. Baker House • Lydia Seminário Inglês Escola para Meninas • Grafton Tyler Casa Dupla • Igreja Episcopal de Cristo • Escola de Hyde-Addison • Taverna Amarela • Caminhada de Pomander • Volta Laboratório • Escola Preparatória de Georgetown • Universidade de Georgetown Healy Hall • Biblioteca da Universidade de Georgetown • As tumbas • Georgetown Car Bar • Memorial de Francis Scott Key • Rua de Cady • Hotéis em Georgetown Waterfront

The Georgetown Architectural Tour with Christine was great. She is really knowledgeable and we learned so much. We saw a variety of different architecture designs and enjoyed seeing so many beautiful homes. The tour was just the right amount of time and I highly recommend it.
Thank you so much!
We had the guide Wayne, I’ve been on many tours like this but this tour guide was the absolute best! He’s was immensely knowledgable and had a great sense of humour. I would recommend the tour so interesting and hoping you get Wayne he’s the best !!!
Thank you for your review!
My spouse and I enjoy taking guided tours in every city we visit. We seek out tours that tell a city’s/neighborhood’s story through architecture, culture, and history. This tour was exactly what we were hoping for. Our guide Brian was friendly and engaging and did an extraordinary job telling Georgetown’s complex story in a way that was very accessible, entertaining, and thoughtful. We feel like we walked away from this tour with a better understanding and appreciation for one of this country’s most fascinating neighborhoods. We plan on visiting DC again and will certainly take more of your tours! Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much! We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a lovely review and hope to see you back in DC again soon!
Sam was an incredible storyteller who truly knows the history of Georgetown. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much, Kayla!
We had a great time touring Georgetown and learning about its deep history. Brian was an excellent guide as he has extensive knowledge of the area, answered all of our questions, and told great stories. I’m so glad we did the guided tour as we would not have had near the great experience without it.
Thank you for your review of Brian's Georgetown tour! We appreciate it! :)
Brian did a fantastic job with the pace of the tour and bringing the history of the neighborhood alive. Definitely recommend taking this tour and ask for Brian.
Thank you so much, Brian is the best! :)
Brian was incredible. Very knowledgeable on the history of Georgetown and DC in general. This 2 hour tour was exactly what we needed for a perfect Sunday fall morning. Kennedys, Georgetown U, Alex. Bell lab, Tranformers and Exorcist. What else coukd one ask for? I recommend this tour for anyone that can walk and especially for young people middle school age and up to learn about the formation of DC, the C&O canal
What a kind review, thank you so much!
Exceptional. Knowledgeable pleasant and fun. I will definitely go on another of their tours. This was done in the extreme DC heat. But still worth it
We're very happy to read your review, thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Georgetown. It was so interesting exploring the area for two-and-a-half hours, seeing and learning about its many historic properties. My guide, Christine, was excellent; her knowledge of Georgetown's architecture and fascinating history was impressive, and she made this such an enjoyable afternoon. Based on this experience, I hope to have the opportunity to see more of DC with DC Design Tours.
We hope so too! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!
Our tour with Brian was absolutely wonderful - perfectly paced, loaded with lots of great information, stories and insights. A perfect complement to museum visits and the Cherry Blossom festival. Thumbs up!
Thank you for the thumbs up, and we hope to tour with you again! :)
