My friends and I did the Ghosts of Georgetown tour with Bob and it was fantastic! Bob was so interesting and funny to listen to and made the experience an awesome one. I've lived here for 4 years and had no idea about the history Bob told us. He recommended we do the Embassy Row tour next and I am looking forward to it! Thanks for an awesome tour, Bob!

My family and I enjoyed our tour with Melissa. She gave us unique facts and I also really enjoyed strolling in Georgetown (M street and neighborhood).
