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
Join us for a walk through Northeast D.C.’s Brookland community, often referred to as "Little Rome” due to the myriad of Roman Catholic institutions located in the neighborhood.
Sites seen on this walk include:
- Residential Brookland
- The Augustinian and Jesuit monastic houses
- The old Bishop's House
- The beautiful Franciscan Monastery and Garden
- The extraordinary art deco Franciscan College
If time and energy permit, we will make an extra loop to the hidden-away Varnum Campus, with its tiny circle of 1920's Catholic institutional buildings.
