What to expect

This walking tour designed for architecture and history enthusiasts takes you through the political core of Washington DC!

From the original L'Enfant city plan to the tumultuous construction of the Capitol and Grounds, from the rise of the magnificent Beaux-Arts Library of Congress and imposing Supreme Court, to the present day. Prolific designers like Thomas Jefferson, Robert Mills, Frederick Law Olmstead, and Daniel Burnham will feature prominently.

Begin your tour from the city's Union Station, which opened in 1908 and was designed to be the main access to the American capital. Then, move to the U.S. Capitol Building and Grounds, among the city's most iconic landmarks. Follow your guide among other emblematic places, including the Supreme Court Building and the Library of Congress. Conclude your tour at the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.
