(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
Located between Georgetown and the White House and originally a little port town called Hamburg, Foggy Bottom was the later site of two breweries, a gas works and a naval observatory.
While the neighborhood's industrial character has vanished, you can still explore Foggy Bottom's alleys and courts and discover:
- Neat rows of houses blue-collar workers called home
- The Watergate: undoubtedly the most infamous office building in Washington, standing proudly along the Potomac River
- The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts: a living memorial to a slain president, where the walk concludes.
At the end of the tour visitors will have the chance to tour the Arts Center or enjoy lunch overlooking the beautiful river.
Find out why Thomas Jefferson once suggested the U.S. Capitol be placed in this spectacular, riverfront neighborhood!
