Over 50 years of age and a native Washingtonian, I learned things about my city that I was never aware of. I walked streets that I've never traveled before during the tour. Katie was very informative, engaging and a pleasure to learn from. Although the weather was horrific, she made it worth the while to be in the elements. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be taking other tours with her.

We spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon with Katie on the Ladies of Georgetown tour. It was fun and interesting, especially to hear about the power these women had at a time when most women lived behind the scenes in every way. Katie is an excellent historian and an engaging, entertaining tour guide. Definitely a must-do when in D.C.

Katie channels the power and intelligence of DC’s former leading ladies in this lovely stroll through Georgetown. Perfect girls day out - for locals and visitors alike. The tour left me researching to find out more about these fascinating women. Would definitely recommend!
