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!





Utforska Washington DC:s politiska kärna! Denna tur tar besökarna genom hjärtat av Federal Power i Washington DC, titta på historien om vår nations huvudstad genom linsen av arkitektur och stadsplanering. Från den ursprungliga stadsplanen från L'Enfant till det tumultartade byggandet av Capitolium och Grounds, uppkomsten av det magnifika Beaux-Arts Library of Congress och imponerande Högsta domstolen, och in i våra dagar. Produktiva designers som Thomas Jefferson, Robert Mills, Frederick Law Olmstead och Daniel Burnham kommer att vara framträdande. Kontroverser, kaos och byråkrati finns i överflöd! En tur som inte får missas av arkitektur- och historieintresserade.
Vi börjar vår turné i den stora storstationen Union Station, en gång till världens största tågstation. Denna korsning av presidenter, diplomater och politiker har sett den drastiska omvandlingen, från invigningar till världskriget, och till och med ett löpande tåg!
Efter att ha utforat höjder och djup på Union Station fortsätter vi över Freedom Bell och Columbus "Fountain" till stegen i högsta domstolen.
vi tar in den imponerande fasaden och lär oss om arkitekturen, historien och utformningen av vår rättsliga myndighetens hem.
Vi får fantastiska fotomöjligheter på östra sidan av US Capitol Building och pratar allt om den tumultiga historien på denna ikon i Washington.
Vi kommer att gå in i det hisnande Library of Congress. Vi kommer att fördjupa oss i den här viktiga institutionens utarbetade design, hemliga symboler och fascinerande historia innan vi tar en underjordisk tunnel till Capitolium.
Vår rundtur avslutas i U.S. Capitol Visitors Center, där våra guider gärna hjälper gästerna att gå med på en gratis byggnadsinteriörtur, beroende på tillgänglighet.
För en fullständig återbetalning ska du avboka minst 24 timmar före planerad avgångstid.

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!
