Fast forward fifty years as we take a walk along one of Washington's most famous grand boulevards- Massachusetts Avenue's Embassy Row. You will see some of the city's grandest homes, learn about the foreign governments that now call them home, as well as the scandals and stories of the residents who used to own them. Ever wonder if the curse of the Hope Diamond is true? Come join us and find out!In addition, we'll sample some of the most romantic chocolate from several different international countries!
As if we were trick or treating, we'll each savor pieces of valentines chocolate commonly used to romance each other during Valentines or other romantic holidays at continents across the globe!
(Note: There is an outdoor tour. While we may try to make arrangements to visit inside some diplomatic residences, this is not promised Expect most - if not all - of the tour to be an outside walking tour).
