Must do! - I’ve lived in DC for 20 years. I took the true crimes and scandals tour (adapted for Valentine’s Day). It was so fun! Rebecca F., our guide, is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and funny! I highly recommend these tours. Please remember that the cost of living is high in DC. Please be generous with your tips so Rebecca and the other hosts can continue to offer these quality tours!

Great Walking Tour! - Although we live across the bridge in Arlington, VA, we enjoy exploring all the gems DC has to offer. This is our 2nd tour with this company. We enjoyed the first tour - WH Scandals and just completed the Ghosts of Georgetown. Our tour guide, Colin was EXCELLENT! I believe he made the tour extra special and animated. Excited to try more tours.

Our guide Kaylee made me want to put on a costume for Halloween and do some trick-or-treating down some of these streets</p>

Look for another tour company - What a disappointment. Trip Advisor had all the wrong information, combining it with another trip in Georgetown. Then the meeting point and time was wrong. The tour guide was very soft spoken and guests could hardly hear her. Boring stories.
