Cornerstone Tours is a small group of locally licensed guides who lead story-first walking tours of Washington, DC.
We started Cornerstone because we love this city — its monuments, its neighborhoods, and the people in between — and we wanted to share it the way we’d share it with a friend who was visiting. That means small groups, an unhurried pace, and stories that connect the names on the stones to the moments they lived through.
What makes our tours different
- Small groups. No headsets, no megaphones — just a conversation with a guide.
- Local guides. Each of our guides is licensed and knows DC by name.
- Story-first. History, context, and the people behind the places.
