The Benefits of Tours

Sometimes, walking tours are the only way to truly appreciate historic neighborhoods, buildings, and culture. You can ride around on crowded buses for days and never really see what you see in just an hour as you walk the same paths as historic figures did decades and centuries before you. You may think you have a great understanding of history, of politics, but you may never think about things the same way after you have beaten the same streets as J. Edgar Hoover, or John Wilkes Booth for instance, and find out what went on underneath the radar. Washington DC is a city you should experience on foot.

When in the Capital, you will probably want to see all of the monuments and memorials. You will probably want to spend time at the numerous and spectacular museums. Have you considered, however, the story behind the story? What about the neighborhoods where the movers and shakers of this great nation lived and died? What about the houses that they lived in, the restaurants and pubs they frequented? What inspired the architecture? You will learn all this and more as you tour Washington on foot with a savvy and licensed tour guide.

For everything you think you know about Washington DC, there are numerous thing you don't know.
