Reviews

See Embassy Row through the eyes of an expert
steven c, 31-12-2022
An exceptional tour. Carolyn gave us not just an expert's architectural perspective but mounds of fun and interesting facts and stories. A really unexpected bonus was that she somehow managed to arrange our stop in front of the Turkish ambassador's residence with him coming out for a jog and he invited us in for a spontaneous tour.
We will definitely arrange another tour next year.

We booked a private tour with another couple. Carolyn was a fantastic tour guide--knowledgeable and enthusiastic, with a wealth of information and fascinating stories. I highly recommend her and her tour company!
