(Washington Walks)

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.!

Activity Description
Although the outside world may associate the term Capitol Hill solely with the U.S. Congress, those who make Washington their home conjure up a very different image:  a vibrant neighborhood spread across one of the largest historic districts in the country filled with quaint row houses, leafy parks, shops and cafes, churches and schools. 
 
This exploration includes:
 

  • the remains of a 1795 estate
  • a watering hole famous for its jazz singers
  • an alley that once teemed with 100 residents
  • a park filled with young children and dog lovers.
 
The walk concludes at beloved Eastern Market, considered by many to be the heart and soul of “The Hill.”

What Is Not Included?
The walk does not include an interior tour of any building seen or discussed during the walk.  In addition, the cost of any snacks at the Eastern Market that you would like to enjoy after the tour are not included in the price of the tour. Please bring some extra cash.

Meeting Location:
Capitol Hill, Pennsylvania Ave & 7th St, SE (Washington, DC)
