We have taken several DC Design Tours throughout the years and find them all to be informative, interesting, and educational. The tour guides are all very knowledgeable and typically have backgrounds in history or architecture. They have fascinating information to share about the area exploring that your would never find in a "google search". We live on 16th Street and found the Adams Morgan and Meridian Park Tour to be excellent and very informative. Can not wait for our next exploration with DS Design Tours!!!!!

This was our 4th tour with DC Design Tours. This time we did a private tour with another couple and again, it was of informative, fact based and more importantly fun. Adams Morgan is not a typical DC neighborhood and Carolyn explained each and ever neighborhood quirk wrapped on a story. There was a good and equal dose of history and architectural information . The restaurant recommendations at the end of the tour were spot on. Time spent on a DC Design tour is always time well spent.

As a longtime DC resident, I've been loving Carolyn's tours of various neighborhoods - such a neat way to get to know my city better with fun tidbits and history. Carolyn is knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt with responses. Highly recommend her tours to those new to DC as well as longtime residents!
