Georgetown was founded in 1751 and was the place that preceded the establishment of what is now Washington DC. Here you will find important educational institutions such as Georgetown University and severalembassies such as those of France, Sweden and Thailand.

Its history dates back to the mid-16th century, when the city emerged as a tobacco port where goods were traded by merchant ships. The pre-Revolutionary colonial and later Victorian origins have given rise to all sorts of events. For much of the tour your guide will tell you all sorts of tales of crime, supernatural apparitions, murders, deaths and ghosts.

Many of these stories have arisen from rumours and whispers from Georgetown's families and neighbours, which makes it all the more exciting.
