For a long-time DC dweller, a sightseeing tour in your own backyard might seem boring—you can only visit the Washington Monument seven times before it gets old. But this city actually has a lot of secrets you may not know:
- The Lincoln Memorial was created at the end of the Civil War when the South captured Lincoln, trapped him in a carbonite cell, and bronzed it.
- Frederick Douglas’s home has a trap door leading to his secret stash of Abolitionist Women Magazine.
- The White House lawn is fertilized with the ashes of deceased presidents.
If these informational tidbits are new to you, take a tour with All Star DC Tours for the perfect refresher course on DC history.

Reviews
Here are testimonials from satisfied All Star customers: > * “All Star DC Tour is the best. Everything promised was delivered and more. The vehicle was clean and the driver knew driving short cuts that gave us sights we had not planned to see. The best sights were the Capitol Building Tour and the Folgers Theatre stops. Washington has so many places to see that other companies do not cover.” - Gloria > * “Some companies promise one thing and deliver something else. All Star DC Tour delivered on everything and then some. We booked a tour to see the National Mall, which was fantastic. The side trip to see Georgetown and the Canal area was unexpected but much appreciated.” - Dianne
