Katie was an incredible source of knowledge about the area. I really enjoyed her passion for the importance of women in history during this era. Her passion was contagious as I have ordered Katherine Graham’s auto biography and am very excited to read it.

As a local, this was a really interesting tour to learn about aspects of the city's history I had never heard of! Very engaging.

My friend and I really enjoyed Katie's tour. She shared many inside stories regarding powerful DC ladies and the men in their lives. It was great to walk around Georgetown on a pleasant Fall afternoon and see the homes where they lived, including those of JFK and Jackie. Katie has a fun way of sharing history -- we learned a lot and loved her tour.
