DC DuPont Circle Embassy Design Tours - Sam our tour guide was fantastic! The history and stories were so engaging and entertaining. He had us all enjoying and appreciating the architecture too.
We decided to do this last minute and Carolyn was so responsive and helpful in setting this up and helped us pick the perfect time for the tour that met our schedule.
Highly recommend for those interested in history and enjoy walking around some beautiful neighborhoods of DC.

Wonderful guide and history walk - This was a fun tour. We were able to book the day before, and joined a thursday 10AM tour with Natalie who was fantastic. Was a really nice two-hour walk and history tour. We went back after the tour to visit some of the museums we passed.

Highly Recommend DC Design Tours - The DuPont Circle and Embassy Row Architectural Tour with Carolyn was absolutely fabulous!! The ideal blend of history, architectural details, and fantastic tidbits. Carolyn's well-researched knowledge of the history and current status of the buildings brought the area to life. A perfect tour for long-time locals and out-of-towners! I'll be signing up for more.

Great Tour of Dupont Circle and Embassy Row - The tour was awesome! Our tour guide was Natalie. She was friendly, knowledgeable, articulate and intelligent. The tour started on time and progressed in an orderly fashion. Natalie took questions throughout the tour and cheerfully provided answers. Her many anecdotes about historical figures and the architecture painted a rich picture of the neighborhood. Highly recommended!!!!
