Czego oczekiwać

Georgetown

Port Georgetown sięga wieków i jest dziś znany ze swoich brukowanych uliczek, zabytkowych domów i ogrodów oraz jest postrzegany jako dzielnica handlowa i gastronomiczna. Zwiedzanie okolicy na piechotę to najlepszy sposób na cofnięcie się w czasie i podziwianie parkowej atmosfery z całą starą cegłą i zielenią.

Kanał C&O

Historyczny kanał biegnący przez przemysłową część Georgetown, goście dowiedzą się o łodziach kanałowych i zobaczą działającą „śluzę” (bramę), która pomogła łodziom podróżować do iz kanału.

Stary Kamienny Dom

Z pewnością jeden z najstarszych budynków w całym mieście, to osobliwe miejsce jest prowadzone przez National Parks Service i ma piękny ogród, w którym można usiąść i odpocząć. Zbudowany w 1766 roku, do 1953 roku był salonem samochodowym, kiedy został przejęty dla zachowania zabytków. Teraz do nas należy cieszenie się i wspominanie prostszych czasów, kiedy w pobliskim porcie handlowano tytoniem i opowieściami.

Uniwersytet Georgetown

Ten prestiżowy uniwersytet jezuicki, założony w 1789, jest szeroko znany ze swoich programów medycznych, prawnych i licencjackich. Zobacz wysokie iglice budynku Patrick Healy i pomnik założyciela Johna Carrola. W ciepły dzień uczniowie będą wylegiwać się na trawie przed domem, rzucając frisbee, czytając i udzielając się towarzysko.

Georgetown

The port Georgetown goes back centuries and is today know for its cobblestone streets, historic homes and gardens, and is seen as a shopping and dining district. Exploring the area on foot is the best way to go back in time and enjoy the park like atmosphere with all of its old brick and greenery.

C & O Canal

The historic canal through the industrial section of Georgetown, guests will learn about the canal boats and see a working "lock" (gate) the helped the boats travel to and from along the canal.

Old Stone House

Certainly one of the oldest buildings in the entire city, this quaint spot is run by the National Parks Service and has a lovely garden to sit and take a rest in. Built in 1766, it was a car dealership by 1953 when it was taken over for historic preservation. Now it is ours to enjoy and remember a simpler time when tobacco and tall tales traded at the nearby port.

Georgetown University

Founded in 1789, this prestigious Jesuit University is know far and wide for its medical, legal, and undergraduate programs. See the towering spires of the Patrick Healy building and the statue of founder John Carrol. On a warm day students will lounge in the grass out front throwing frisbees, reading, and socializing.

"The Exorcist" Steps

We end the tour near the Exorcist Steps, a historic stairway that became famous thanks to the 1970s film of the same name.

While visiting Washington, DC, I went on 2 Free Tours by Foot this Saturday - the Historic Georgetown tour with Erin and the Lincoln Assassination tour with Boglarka. Erin is a school teacher and tour guide. Boglarka is a full-time tour guide. Both women were excellent tour guides. They were much more energetic, more insightful, and funnier than a more expensive tour guide I used Friday night. On Friday night, I arrived in DC too late to join a group tour, so I went on a small private tour that included car service. This private tour was fine and very convenient, but nothing special, especially for the price. On Saturday, my schedule allowed me to fit in 2 Free Tours by Foot, and those are the tours I loved and will remember for years to come. I will seek out Free Tours by Foot the next time I'm in DC or in any of the other cities they cover. The tour guides are excellent. You get a little exercise by walking. And you pay what you feel is fair. The tour guides don't pressure you to over-pay. But they're so good, you'll want to thank them and pay for their time. Book early and go!! Highly recommend!!!

We took the historic Georgetown tour that also covered the Glow holiday art installations. The evening was chilly but perfect for the art and Rebecca was a wealth of knowledge. I recommend this tour for locals and visitors. Wonderful!

Historic Georgetown along with Georgetown Glow. Dan was a great, enthusiastic tour guide. He was loud and easy to understand. He had a great personality. And he knew his stuff. The only downside was that the tour started at 4 p.m. - a little too early to see all the glow installations lit up! I would definitely do another tour.
