Your Itinerary

FBI Headquarters

Our tour starts at one of the most iconic buildings in DC, the FBI Headquarters. Home to a disguise shop, forensic lab, and the site of countless stories about protecting America from domestic threats.

The Pew Charitable Trusts

Charitable organizations define America's spirit and generosity, many are based here in DC but support national and global causes. Learn about Pew's work with 17-letter marine sanctuaries and their role in legislation.

National Portrait Gallery

The National Portrait Gallery houses images of Americans from today and yesterday including the famous President's Gallery - stop in or pass by, admission is free to all!

Washington Wizards

DC is a weird sports town. With so many visitors and residents who move here for work, you might think that local sports are not that popular, but most people have an immense affection for their second hometown teams, which have some crazy stories and odd names.

Chinatown Arch

We love DC because it blends eras of American history and global cultures - here in Chinatown, explore this microcosm of Chinese heritage in a uniquely American way.

Calvary Baptist Church

We're not taking you here to preach, but to show you a site of significant religious turmoil that helped create a modern-American religious movement.

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

Historic building named after historic figure - we'll show you the unexpected side of Washington DC here at its central library.

Ford's Theatre

History is generally marked by its sadness just as much as joy. Here, at the final fissure in the Civil War, learn about the story of how Lincoln's death crystalized a nation.

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Giant diamonds, extinct animals, and one of the coolest museums in DC is our last destination so you can keep on exploring DC.

The walk itself was very comfortable and easy. No steep hills or stairs to climb. The highlighted stops were very interesting but since I went on a Saturday some of the buildings were not open to go inside. There is a voluntary but entertaining quiz after each site where you can answer the questions based on information you can observe from the location that you are at. I did have a slight problem starting my tour because the instructions were not very intuitive for me. I ended up having to call the tour operator who was very professional, understanding and kind, and he helped me start my walking tour from the meeting point. Make sure you exchange your ticket for a voucher, take the voucher ID number, go to their website, enter the voucher ID number and your email and your tour will start. That information was not clear in the initial directions. All in all, I highly suggest this walking tour.
