We did the Moonlight & Memorials walking tour with Gideon on 1.06.2023. It was absolutely brilliant - Gideon was extremely knowledgeable and shared history in a fun, interesting manner, the tour size was just perfect and we were able to capture the memorials under the moonlight. Simply spectacular view! I will recommend this tour to all tourists visiting DC.Thank you, Gideon and DC by Foot!

We loved our tour of Historic Georgetown. Wesley was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who answered all of our questions. He even helped us with directions at the end of the tour. We loved seeing this historic neighborhood. (FYI Tudor Place is closed on Mondays. You'll get a better view of the house on other days of the week, but it's still fine on Mondays too.)

We did the Cathedral tour with Andy and he was absolutely amazing!! He truly has a passion for this Cathedral and it showed all throughout the tour. He did a great job showing us the history and beauty within the cathedral. You can also head upstairs after the tour for a pretty nice view! Highly recommend this tour! We loved this experience!!!!!

Great tour of the National Mall. The guide (Rebecca) was very knowledgeable and kind. The kids enjoyed asking her questions. We all enjoyed hearing about the monuments design and other stories. The tour was a little over 2 hours and included walking from the Washington monument to the Lincoln memorial. It was a very hot day and Rebecca did her best to keep us in the shade as much as possible.

This tour is well planned and well timed and was given by a guide who was personable and knew her history. Ingeborg had fun antidotes and stories that enhanced the understanding of the area in an enjoyable way. Thank you for your efforts!

NIGHT TOURS OF DC

Some cities are meant to be seen by day and others at night. Washington, DC is one of the rare cities that need to be seen at both times of the day. 

Most museums are closed at nightfall, so there are still plenty of hours in the day to explore the city, the monuments, and memorials. Especially the darker side. 

In addition to our night walking tours (see below the video), there are also bus, boat, bike, and Segway tours of the nation's capital city.

We offer many nighttime tour options - some are family-friendly and some are adults only!

As always, check our tour calendar to see which walks are taking place when you are in the city.
