DC Design Tours

The members of my group are all interested in architecture so we booked the Georgetown walking tour. It was fantastic! Carolyn was very knowledgeable on not only the architecture during stops on the tour but also on the history of Georgetown. She was at the appointed place on time (very important) and showed us things we had never seen or noticed before. I would highly recommend this activity as a way to see Georgetown from a new perspective.

Highly recommended! Small tour group size allowed everyone to hear and keep up. Carolyn is a natural tour leader. The architectural perspective on the Georgetown tour was great. I hope to be back for the other tours!

Great tour for locals or visitors. Interesting mix of stories told from the intersection of human drama and architecture. Educational and entertaining throughout. Well worth your time!

My wife and I have lived in DC for ten years and have joined a number of tours and this one is by far the best. We joined that Dupont Circle waking tour on a Saturday at 1PM. Our tour guide was named Kelly and she was the perfect blend of funny, real, and knew really interesting facts about the neighborhood and design. She was able to break down design using fashion metaphors that made it more accessible. The Dupont Circle tour started by the Dupont Circle Metro. We walked past the Philips Collection up the Spanish Steps into Kalorama. You pass many embassies, the Woodrow Wilson House and to the Anderson House. It ends at the Dupont Circle Fountain. It lasted 1.5 hours. If you’re a tourist or a resident, this tour is a must do!

I've now taken several tours with DC Design Tours. They were all great. There was a fun mix of history, architecture, and stories about the people who shaped DC. I particularly enjoyed the DuPont Circle tour--I learned a lot, even though I've lived in DC for years and walk through that neighborhood every day. Carolyn was an engaging and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend it.
