Our tour guide was named Kim. She was fantastic! We chose this tour based on previous reviews and it didn't disappoint. Kim expertly lead us all over town. She took great care to make sure to answer all questions. She was informative, thoughtful and thought provoking in her words about this historic place in the history of our country. We were a mid-sized group of maybe 14 or so, I didn't count. Everyone was able to hear when she spoke. She managed to entertain and educate too! I'd take friends and do it again! I'm not sure why TripAdvisor calls this a Historic Georgetown Architecture Tour because on the DC Design Tour website this is a Historic Georgetown Tour which is more accurate. Sure we looked at architecture but the tour was all about the history of Georgetown.

This is our 5th tour with DC Design Tours and they are 5 for 5!!! Sam was a wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating facts about the Georgetown neighborhood, architecture, and famous inhabitants. Sam the guide was engaging, funny, and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to him share his knowledge with the group. We’re worldwide travelers and our DC Design Tours are some of the top tours we’ve taken anywhere!!!

This was a fabulous tour. We had never been to Georgetown and this walking tour was the perfect way to see it. Our guide focused on the architecture and history, telling us fabulous stories about the houses, their styles, residents, and history of the times. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor and ability to communicate with the group. This was definitely a highlight of our visit to Washington. Highly recommend.

Christine was knowledgeable, professional and patient. She answered all my questions and gave a good ice cream recommendation nearby for afterwards. I have already recommended this to family. Thank you!

Christine was great! Knowledgeable and interesting. Nice to see the quieter Georgetown after a week in busy DC.

The tour was excellent. Our guide, Christine, was very knowledgeable about the architecture and history of Georgetown. The group included only seven people. It was well worth doing and one of the best things we did on our trip to DC.

Beautiful and Charismatic guide. She was amazing providing us with interesting historical and architectural information. Lots of gossips and inspiring stories. Georgetown is super beautiful but it wouldn’t have being the same without the guide who walked us around .

It was great from start to finish. We walked a total of 2 1/2 hours around Georgetown, & our guide, Ellory (sp?), pointed out old & modern features of Georgetown. Her explanations made what we were seeing so much more meaningful. Even the café where we began our tour made for a positive local-like experience. I appreciated being in a small group of just 9 people. Several of us had chosen DC Design Tours b/c they allow the purchase of a single ticket.

Our guide, Ellory, did an excellent job of presenting a wonderful tour around Georgetown. Very professional, patient, and very thorough in presenting the facts and answering questions. Recommend this tour. Must be able to walk and climb some stairs. Was not strenuous.

Pouring rain did not ruin this wonderful tour of historic Georgetown. Sam was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about his subject, and he told entertaining stories about the people who lived and worked in this part of the city centuries ago. This tour is a must for anyone interested in history, design, and urban planning. We enjoyed it thoroughly!

Loved the Georgetown Architecture Tour led by Sam. He was a wealth of knowledge and presented the information about what we were seeing in an interesting, entertaining and sometimes humorous way. A lot was covered in 2.5 hours. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes!

Lovely way to spend a few hours on a lazy Sunday exploring Georgetown. The history was very interesting and our guide Ellery was very personable, knowledgeable and professional.

The Georgetown Architecture Tour and the Embassy Tour were excellent! What made it extra special was the in-depth knowledge of our tour guide. She not only knew tons about the architecture and the area but also knew so much about the history and backstory of every building. I have lived in The DC area for over 20 years and learned something new at every stop!! I can't wait to book another tour with DC Design! Totally enjoyable.

The guide was great! I don't know a lot about architecture nor Georgetown and it was nice learning a lot about both! Great opportunity to appreciate some history.
