About
Report
A former architectural designer and lover of all things brick and mortar, Carolyn left her drafting desk and started DC Design Tours so she could talk about buildings rather than draw them. She has not-so-secret crushes on Pierre L'Enfant and Montgomery Meigs, and can spot a mansard roof a mile away.
Private Tours
Report
Book a private walking or driving tour with just you, your family or group, and your design guide. Choose from any of our walking tours to be conducted privately, or let us customize a walking or driving itinerary just for you. Private two hour walking tours are available to book online at 10am, 2pm, and 7pm.
