I live in Washington, DC and never knew this place existed until it was featured on Living Social. It was $8 for two tickets for the house tour. Even if it was $8 each, it still would have been worth it. Removed from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown, this place is a quiet gem that makes you feel like... More

Tudor Place is a very nice mansion to visit if you are in the Washington DC area. The home is located in the Georgetown area of DC. The guides are very nice and informitive. Parking can be difficult though in this area. There are no parking garages so you need to use street parking near the mansion. Very nice area... More

I've been walking past Tudor Place for years and finally decided to go in for the tour. As area attractions go, there wasn't a whole lot here, but it was certainly a nice house in a nice area. Our guide was very well-informed. More

Guided tour of a home used by colonial families, there are better house tours in DC. Tea party not appropriate for children. More

This early 1800s mansion was built by Martha Washington's granddaughter in the northern part of Georgetown. It has been in the family for 200 years. The gardens are lovely covering a few acres, with a boxwood circle by the front entrance. The house is very stately, sitting on a high bluff--the view of Georgetown from 200 years ago is obscured...

The most striking thing about Tudor Place was the sheer size of the property with its yard and gardens, located in what appears to be one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the country. I think we actually enjoyed walking around the surrounding area, seeing all the other homes, even more than the guided tour of Tudor Place itself. Anyway,... More

A word of advice prior to paying for anything at Tudor Place other than a basic house or garden tour is to check to see where the event will be held. My husband and I attended the June Garden to Table workshop. The Tudor Place website simply states “After the morning workshop at Tudor Place, participants will use ingredients talked... More

Fascinating story and a beautiful home. We toured it on a gorgeous spring day so the gardens were wonderful. They offer a tea on certain days and it would be fun to do that sometime and enjoy a glimpse into a more elegant time! Great bargain at $8 per person. More

It was something to see The home had so much history and had been in one family! The grounds were tranquil! Who knew you could find something like this in Georgetown!! Our tour... More

This place is far more interesting than some of more known touristy places in DC. Contains the largest collection outside of Mount Washington of objects that belonged to the Washington family, as well as photos/portraits of the descendants. The surrounging gardens are gorgeous too. More
