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 priests get thrown down stairs – only in the movies, of course. Not to be confused with our past Ghosts of Georgetown tour, no visit to a pre-revolutionary town is complete without a few stories to give you goose bumps. But out Historic Georgetown tour focuses on the stories and sites of a town that still invokes the image of knowledge and class after 300 years.
