Nineteen years in, this is the longest running program organized by the non-profit organization Cultural Tourism DC (the same organization that brings us Passport DC). Walking Town is offering more than 70 tours across the district this year. Your guides are experts, donating their time to impart insights and their love of the area they are sharing with you. Learn about the district agricultural heritage (think rooftop gardens), the natural environment, historical people, buildings, events, and future development possibilities.

Sign up for a short tour during lunch, after work, or a longer tour on the weekend. The intensity levels of the tours range from low level intensity (flat ground and wheelchair/stroller access) to biking on uneven ground. The two hour about the Adams Morgan from the time of slavery is a low level intensity. Hidden in Plain Sight, a tour uncovering somewhat overlooked monuments is a 6-8 mile bike ride.  No matter which program you’re interested in, it’s best to sign up right now, as these can fill up quickly and are blocked from registration when capacity is reached. The registration system is listed by date, and can be a little tricky, restricting you to register one participant at a time.

  • Who: Anyone – Various lengths and fitness levels (including wheelchair/stroller access)
  • What: Annual event providing over 70 guided tours
  • Where: Various locations around DC
  • Why: Learn more about your community’s culture and history
  • When: September 14th – 22nd
  • How Much: FREE – Register Early (Donations Appreciated!)
