A new part of the city! - I've been to DC too many times to count so it was nice to find an option to see a part of the city I don't normally go to. I knew there were embassies in DC but did not know any of the history or stories or how this international relationship really works. Eli was a great guide to wander around with on this tour.

Top notch tour guide of a fascinating neighborhood - Becca was the perfect tour guide: personable, prepared, interesting, informative. Embassy Row itself was full of beautiful gilded age mansions with interesting histories and architecture. Most of the buildings we saw on the tour are now embassies, which added another layer of interest to their stories. One of the best tours I’ve ever done! (Also liked the very small group size.)

Definitely a must while you are in. D c - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour yesterday with Becca. She was full of knowledge and energy. And my husband who is hard of hearing heard her clearly. She was articulate and fun. We would definitely do another tour with her any day...

Nothing Special - This tour is ok if you know nothing about history. But do not expect to learn accurately. The guide made many errors in "facts". Route was not unique. Do a walk on your own with Google as you go.

Could be better - It was informative. And we learned some fun facts. Did not care for the tour ending in the middle of a neighborhood. To make it easier for the out of town people taking the tour, Would recommend circling around to end the tour back at the meeting place where it began.
