Absolute wonderful tour: informative and interesting. We'll definitely be doing this and other tours again with future visitors in town.
Thank you so much for your kind review!





Explore o núcleo político de Washington DC! Este passeio leva os visitantes através do coração do poder federal em Washington DC, olhando para a história da nossa capital da nação através da lente da arquitetura e planejamento urbano. Do plano original da cidade de L'Enfant à tumultuosa construção do Capitólio e dos terrenos, a ascensão da magnífica Biblioteca de Belas Artes do Congresso e a imponente Corte Suprema, e até os dias de hoje. Designers prolíficos como Thomas Jefferson, Robert Mills, Frederick Law Olmstead e Daniel Burnham serão destacados. Controvérsia, caos e burocracia abundam! Um passeio que não deve ser perdido por entusiastas de arquitetura e história.
Começaremos nossa excursão no enorme Grande Salão da Union Station, que já foi a maior estação de trem do mundo. Esta encruzilhada de presidentes, diplomatas e políticos viu a transformação drástica, desde inaugurações de guerras mundiais, e até mesmo um trem desgovernado!
Depois de explorar as alturas e as profundezas da Union Station, passaremos pelo Sino da Liberdade e pela "Fonte" de Columbus até os degraus da Suprema Corte.
nós vamos aproveitar a fachada imponente e aprender sobre a arquitetura, história e design da casa do nosso ramo de governo Judicial.
Obteremos ótimas oportunidades para fotos no lado leste do edifício do Capitólio dos EUA e falemos sobre a tumultuosa história desse ícone de Washington.
Entraremos na deslumbrante Biblioteca do Congresso. Iremos nos aprofundar no design elaborado, nos símbolos secretos e na fascinante história desta importante instituição, antes de seguirmos por um túnel subterrâneo até o Capitólio.
Nosso passeio terminará dentro do Centro de Visitantes do Capitólio dos EUA, onde nossos guias terão prazer em ajudar os hóspedes a participar de um passeio gratuito pelo interior do edifício, dependendo da disponibilidade.

Thank you so much for your kind review!
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.
What a nice review of Sam's tour! Thank you so much!
Thanks for a great tour. Sam was personable, informative, and fun! Especially enjoyed the historical nuggets along with the architectural info.
Thanks so much Michelle! We love historical nuggets too! :)
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!
So glad to read your review, thank you! I had a great time with you all!
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.
Thanks Magda! It was an absolute pleasure meeting your family!
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.
Thank you Christine! We're so glad to read you enjoyed your Iconic Capitol Hill Tour with Sam!
Great tour! Our guide was informative and funny. Even my teenager enjoyed it. Highly recommend this tour.
So glad to hear that, thank you!
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.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure touring with you and your family!
We enjoyed learning about the buildings and local history! Our guide was knowledgeable and helped to make the tour special!
So glad to hear that, thank you for posting a review!
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.
Thank you, Anne! It was my pleasure to meet and tour with your family!
