My friend and I really enjoyed Katie's tour. She shared many inside stories regarding powerful DC ladies and the men in their lives. It was great to walk around Georgetown on a pleasant Fall afternoon and see the homes where they lived, including those of JFK and Jackie. Katie has a fun way of sharing history -- we learned a lot and loved her tour.

I grew up here and learned things I never knew. Katie really brings these people to life. I highly recommend her and I can't wait to take the other tours!

Can recommend this walk. Katie knows what she is taking about and as an European, I learned a lot about the brave women and the achievement they were not thanked for performing. You will leave more knowledgeable than when you started the walk. And…. Katie is funny, interesting and just good company.
