Just did the DC Spy History Walking Tour - here's my take!

I went on the DC Spy History Walking Tour last weekend and it was AMAZING! Our guide was super knowledgeable about all the spy locations and even shared some wild stories about Cold War espionage. We started near the U.S. State Department and ended at the Irish Embassy, which was just mind-blowing. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves history or thrillers. Plus, it’s free, so can’t beat that!
