Explore Dupont Circle’s Dark Secrets: A Spy Tour Led by a Former CIA Officer
If you enjoy historical stories of conspiracy, politics, cover-ups, and assassinations, this tour is for you. This tour begins with your host, a former CIA officer, at the Dupont Circle Fountain and ends at the corner of Ost and 19th Street next to the Dupont Circle Hotel. Examine the suspicious death of a Kremlin insider, and learn more about the strategy behind Russian communications. This is the first of many suspicious deaths we explore. Hear about the origins of “Embassy Row” and dive deeper into case studies of infamous traitors who lived and operated nearby. Understand more about defectors and what motivates them to leave their birth countries. And…conduct a secret operation! Hint: Bring your map reading skills.
Don’t forget your walking shoes, bring water, and dress for the weather.
Your Host:
Will: Can neither confirm nor deny that he served in CIA's Directorate of Operations for the better part of a decade, during which he worked in countries across Africa and South Asia. He also spent time at the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department. When most people think of Washington, they think only of the beautiful monuments or Congressional intrigue. Will lives in DC and is eager to share an insider’s perspective of his city’s real intrigue - what spies do in the shadows after dark.
