[Tours are generally offered March through October. Please note that this tour is recommended for people ages 13 and up.] DC is the city of presidents, and this is the tour that gives you the most POTUS for your buck. People want to be close to power. And from the time D.C. was founded, that meant being close to the White House. You'll check out Lafayette Square and the neighborhood of Foggy Bottom. You'll explore the homes and buildings where presidents lived, worked, partied, plotted and worshipped -- before, during and after their time in office. You'll see some of DC's oldest buildings and enjoy one of the most famous public spaces in the world. And don't forget the stories. Our guide will tell you about the building of the city -- and the British attempt in 1814 to unbuild it. There's a Real Housewives scandals, a Pennsylvania Avenue shootout, slaves fighting for freedom and lots more.

Chris was engaging and knowledgeable! Lovely tour and learned about buildings that we've walked past many a time without exploring their past.

Chris was great at keeping all members of our group entertained with stories of past presidents and historic buildings within a manageable number of blocks. Communication was excellent from before booking and remained strong as we changed the schedule to miss a thunderstorm. Anyone with an interest in American history (and in particular presidents) should do this tour. Price is extremely reasonable considering the knowledge and experience provided. Thanks Chris, from the group of Aussies!
