Seller Description:
The best way to tour any historic city is by foot. Since 1999, Washington Walks guides have been escorting visitors and locals alike through quaint neighborhoods, along hip urban thoroughfares, and past D.C.’s instantly recognizable landmarks and memorials.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or long-time resident, the same holds true: if you haven’t been on a Washington Walk, you haven’t been to Washington, D.C.!

The annual cherry blossom display is guaranteed to dazzle your senses. But have you ever wondered why the trees are planted along the Tidal Basin? Why cherry trees? Whose idea were they anyway?
Hear the stories and secrets behind the delicate blossoms during a walking tour featuring not only cherry trees, but also noteworthy arboreal cousins.
- Learn about the woman whose cherry tree vision lives on today.
- Discover a Japanese lantern older than the United States itself.
- Find out where you can enjoy even more pink and white blooms.
This walking tour is offered in conjunction with the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

This walk does not include interior tours of any buildings. It does not include a walk around the entire Tidal Basin area.

Walk participants are welcome to walk the area on their own.
