Hidden Halls of Power: Secret History of the White House & DC

Washington, DC, has not always served as the federal government's headquarters. Following the Revolutionary War, the Residency Act of 1790 allowed for the establishment of the federal government in New York City, Philadelphia, and finally Washington, D.C. Establishing the federal government's seat was difficult due to the undeveloped state of the area that is today known as downtown Washington, DC. Land needed to be surveyed, maps needed to be created, and plans needed to be created for the new US capitol. Given that the newly established federal government had incurred enormous debts during the Revolutionary War that needed to be paid off, these duties proved to be easier said than done. As we travel through historical sites that date from the period immediately following the Revolutionary War to the present, we will be reminded of the American tale.

District of Punk

*Starting in March 2025, tour is offered the 2nd Saturday of the month at 1pm. Learn about DC's under-recognized, but impactful, punk scene. In the 1980s, the Reagan Administration was reinstating the Selective Service, hippies were turning in yuppies, and the punk scene rose as a reaction to what was received as a souless government. While punk is often associated with London, New York, and LA, there was a substantial scene in DC that had anchors in the Gallery Place neighborhood and elsewhere. On this tour you'll discover what made the DC punk culture distinct from others, the major contributors to the scene, and it's lasting impact on the local music scene today. Tour ends at the MLK Jr. Library, which holds DC's Punk Archive.

Washington, a city designed to be great, shows visitors without false modesty its broad avenues, manicured boulevards, and magnificent monuments and government buildings. It is the embodiment of American power, status, and national pride. However, this does not mean that the tourist will feel uncomfortable, that he will be a stranger. On the contrary, on tours with experienced guides, it is not difficult to find common ground with this slightly self-confident «gentleman».

The history of the capital of the United States begins with a few settlements (Georgetown, Alexandria) on the bend of the Potomac River. The city itself, named after the first president, was laid out during his administration and built strictly according to plan. Now, in the center of Washington D.C. (District of Columbia), there is a National Alley that unites the most important landmarks: the White House on the north side, the Jefferson Memorial on the south side, the Capitol on the east side, the Lincoln Memorial on the west side. In the center of this cross stands the marble stele of Washington. On the other side of the river (i.e. already on the territory of Virginia) is the gigantic Pentagon, the center of the military power of the state. Tourist note: A tour of the White House is available to all comers, but the Pentagon prohibits even a photo in front of the building.

The other side of life in the capital is the flourishing of culture. The architectural ensemble is a delight to the eye, intricately combining Victorian and Georgian houses, buildings in the neo-Gothic, neoclassical and Beaux-Arts styles. As for museums, a galaxy (19 organizations) operate under the Smithsonian Institution. They are devoted to the arts, natural history, science, technology, various periods and peoples, including Native Americans. A zoo also operates under the auspices of the Institute.

The world of fashion, shopping and nightlife is another touch to the portrait of the No. 1 persona among U.S. cities. Immersing yourself in it means getting to know the city, the country, the people and yourself better. It is also a way to get really memorable and useful souvenirs.
