Tour description:

Join DC by Foot for a walk through the neighborhood around the White House to talk about presidential affairs, duels, murders and scandalous first ladies. Our guide will take you through this small park, known as Tragedy Square, for the true stories of some of the city’s darkest secrets. This tour is designed for adults and, while you can decide what constitutes an adult, the stories will have scandalous content.
