We got to see the heart of Washington's dupont circle on this tour. Embassies are all old mansions which we enjoyed seeing snd learning about mainly from the outside. The stories are just amazing of all the wealthy families.

This is a fascinating tour. Learned a lot about why the big houses were built and why they were ultimately turned into embassies. Many interesting stories about different houses, sculptures, and historical events that happened at some of the embassies. Definitely worth the time!
