What are some good streets in dc to find tour guides?
I been driving on 14th and k but I can't find any tour guides. It is def not how it use to be back in the days in year 2000. It was full of tour guides I use to love it. But now is all dry. Does anybody know some good hot spots? Most of the reports on here don't really post what streets they be at? Hope somebody can reply back.
Whiff, Whiff, You're OUT!
[QUOTE=Speedstick;2314491]I am new to the area I read the forum. Decided to make a trek downtown to do some sight seeing. I am looking for some feedback. I left about 8:30 I was really disappointed that there were no tour guides out. I did see 1 or 2 that may be possibilities. After midnight more tour guides started to come out, especially on Eastern and Minnesota and extreme eastern K ST NW. The tour guides on extreme eastern K st did not appear to be real tour guides, just an observation.
From Midnight to 4 AM I saw an isolated one here there in the downtown area. At 4 am six to seven guides appeared out of no where. Most of the guides appeared more than capable to provide me with a tour.
I have included a map of where I was, I was wondering if someone could advise me if there would be some areas I may tour that I could not dig out of the forum. Also if someone could pm me to let me know what I might pay for a complete tour of the city I would greatly appreciate it.

You're entirely too early as they have late opening hours and early closing hours. DC has a prime time of about two hours if you're a stranger strolling around. I see you've sampled the wares further north and that's where you'll find guides that don't have "bank hours and holidays". DC is also at least two to three times the rate of our friends up north. The ones that seem capable in DC are also very likely a sting in progress. Be extra careful around the downtown / circle zone.
To sum it up go north, report your findings, and go off the beaten path to find yourself a gem.
Stay safe & GLHF!
