I had a wonderful time on this tour! My husband and I were so thrilled to have the opportunity to get out and see the Georgetown Neighborhood as well as learn some of the fascinating history behind it. Katie really did a great job and was very knowledgeable! I can't wait to go on another of her tours soon!

Packaged in an entertaining and charming tour, it gave me very informative insights in parts of the history of DC, which are otherwise only known to specialized historians.

I loved this tour! I’m already interested in learning small details that aren’t taught about history that is connected to the main story that everyone knows. Katie Kirkpatrick is a wonderful tour guide and a friendly, intelligent, woman. I recommend this tour 100% to anyone whether local or out-of-town folks to take.
