You’ll check out Lafayette Square and the neighborhood of Foggy Bottom. You’ll explore the homes and buildings where presidents lived, worked, partied, plotted and worshipped — before, during and after their time in office. You’ll see some of DC’s oldest buildings and enjoy one of the most famous public spaces in the world.
And don’t forget the stories. Our guide will tell you about the building of the city — and the British attempt in 1814 to unbuild it. There’s a Real Housewives scandals, a Pennsylvania Avenue shootout, slaves fighting for freedom and lots more.
