Fantastic tour!
Terrific experience! We decided to do the tour on the spur of the moment and are so glad we did. We've lived in DC for a long time but didn't know any of the history, it was fascinating. Our guide was welcoming, considerate, and knew so much. She was happy to answer all our questions. It was our first tour with her and we'll definitely do it again. I strongly recommend this tour and guide!

The perfect way to tour Washington DC!
Washington DC is packed with monuments, historical sites, museums, and so much more. We choose an Adventure DC Tricycle tour ...and the experience was fantastic! They picked us up at our airbnb and took us to every place we wanted to see. Communication was excellent and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Skip the extremely long walks and wait times. Take a tour with Adventure DC Tricycle and relax, have fun, and enjoy your next visit.

Our tour guide was great! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, flexible and very patient with my 3 elderly siblings who walk slowly. I have a very scholarly brother and cousin with whom he meshed well with their knowledge and endless questions! On top of that he had a great sense of humor and lots of positive energy.

Embassy Row Spy History Tour with a Former CIA Officer
emmakZ2338FR, Jul 2026
Great tour combining Embassy Row intrigue and CIA experience
This is a very fun and informative tour! Our guide, Tom, is a former CIA Case Officer and shared a lot of information - both about places and past happenings in the Embassy Row / Dupont Circle area and about his own experiences. There is a whole US intelligence world out there that most of us don't realize is protecting us. We were there during the July 2026 heat wave - it was still around 98 degrees that evening - but Tom held our attention! Highly recommend!
