What a great experience. Rosanna clearly is experienced and it made the tour very interesting. We walked through the lovely neighborhoods in Georgetown and she pointed out so much history relative to specific houses. She also incorporated some tradecraft which the group enjoyed. It was a hot day, but she managed the tour quite well to stay in the shade, etc. I would absolutely take friends who are coming into town and would gladly go again. I also want to check out her tour of embassy row.
