Excellent Historical Walking Tour

5.00Chris is a friendly, deeply knowledgeable and humorous guide. He is flexible and responsive to our individual interests. He made sure all our questions were answered and that was easy for him, because he has a professor's level knowledge of the presidents' lives. The touring area is beautiful, with plenty of interesting extra bonuses (like gorgeous gardens and interesting activities around the former presidential homes, some of which are now embassies). We came away from the tour hoping to see Chris again, perhaps on the DC stage performing comedy!
Having fun with history

5.00Our guide, Chris, was not only knowledgeable with the history of the presidents but brought humor and life to the politics, timelines and scandals of the residents. Chris gave us time to pause and hear the stories and his delivery was very engaging

5.00Fabulous tour for history buffs. Beautiful neighborhood that we knew nothing about. We already knew some presidential history, which Chris augmented, always with his singular sense of humor.
One of the best walking tours ever.
