Washington DC is inspiring year-round, but when the holiday lights are strung new magic hangs in the crisp, winter air - a collective joy overtakes residents and visitors alike. It's simply the most wonderful time of the year to be out and about in DC.

On your private walking tour, your guide will not only show you the spectacular lights on display throughout the National Mall but will also share with you the history of Christmas in Washington DC, which spans further back than the tradition of the National Christmas Tree, which began in 1923. 

While your holiday walking tour will be filled with stories that remind us of the magic of the season, your guide will also be sharing the history of the monuments and how the city came to be. Your tour ends with a visit to the Downtown Holiday Market at Penn Quarter, where you will be free to continue at your own pace and of course, purchase any handmade Christmas gifts!

We invite you to join us in this spectacular city lights private tour made just for you this wonderful season.
