As a longtime Georgetown resident, Ingeborg had a familiarity, love, and deep knowledge of Georgetown that she shared with us. We loved how she showed us the beautiful and varied homes of the area and then told fun and sometimes juicy stories about the famous people who have lived in these homes over the years. We really got a sense of the power players, elites, and decision makers that populated the area and set the course of history over dinner and drinks or while attending parties. Super fun tour!

Eli, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the area, which really brought it alive for us. He was also very friendly and considerate of his customers, finding as much shade as he could on an extremely hot day!
