Historic Georgetown Walking Tour

Georgetown’s shady lanes and cobblestone streets reflect another side of the Capital. It is Washington’s genteel, southern side where Presidents lived when they were just Congressmen, where the Founding Fathers laid out the plans for the city on a tavern bar top, and where historic churches offer services. Not to be confused with our Ghosts of Georgetown tour, no visit to a pre-revolutionary town is complete without a few scary stories to give you goose bumps. Our Historic Georgetown tour focuses on the houses and sites of a town that still invokes the image of refinement and class after 300 years.
