Enterprising individuals and organizations keep coming up with new ways to introduce the city. Go to the Cultural Tourism D.C. website and click on "Tours and Trails" for a longer list of organized tours. Here's a sampling of what's available. On Foot A Tour de Force (tel. 703/525-2948) is historian and raconteur Jeanne Fogel's 24-year-old company. She offers various modes of transport, from walking to bus, SUV, and limo tours. Fogel custom designs the route around the city per your request and size of group, from a romantic tour for a couple to a traditional sightseeing excursion for a convention crowd. Fogel (or her stand-in) peppers her narration with little-known anecdotes and facts about neighborhoods, historic figures, and the most visited sites. Call for rates. |
