My second spy tour with the company and just as good as the first one I did. Well organized, started on time, with a subject matter expert as guide. Loved walking around Georgetown and hearing stories about the various places and learning a little tradecraft along the way. Has sparked a greater interest in learning about the world of spies.

I have thoroughly enjoyed both of the tours, Georgetown and DuPont Circle, given by Rosanna. The tours are professional, friendly, and both started on time. Rosanna’s subject matter expertise lends great credibility to her very interesting stories. Highly recommend signing up for their tours. You won’t be disappointed.

What a fun and interesting tour! Rosanna led our group of 6 through the beautiful streets of Georgetown sharing interesting espionage history, characters, and techniques (she even set up a dead drop for us to find). Five of our group were locals, so it was cool to associate specific homes, streets, and businesses with the spy world.
