Overview

Washington, DC, is swamped in folklore. In weird, almost occult superstition and meaning.

Some of our nation's forefathers believed in the power of faith, Masonic texts, the strength of deities, and the great beyond, and their beliefs as founders and progenitors of this great city can be seen everywhere.

Join us as we uncover their meaning, their hidden secrets, and understand what drove them to be carved in the first place, stamped on the face of Washington, DC.

Our walking tour takes you through landmark sites in Washington, DC, where you will visit different iconic locations linked to our hidden history.

Come join us on this out-of-this-world Hollywood-inspired adventure as we explore the city and the secret past of Washington, DC, and see it like never before.

The time takes into account the time it takes to walk to and from the sites. The duration of the tour is 2 hours.
