Cultural Tourism DC postponed the 13th annual Passport DC and Around the Embassy Tour programs, due to the public health crisis created by COVID-19 and the health emergency enacted by the federal and local governments. The nonprofit organization will select a new date for the events when the crisis is over. Cultural Tourism DC is grateful for the support of the embassies, partners, sponsors and volunteers without whom it could not produce these programs for you.
