Great affordable walking ghost tour - Great hour walking ghost and history tour. Doug our tour guide was great! Very informative and engaging. We learned a lot of lesser know historical facts and of course about the spirits that still linger in the capital city. Great tour for the price! Our family (ages 11-43) had a great time.

Great Mix of History and Haunts in DC - Had a great time on a ghost tour in DC. It was the perfect mix of history and storytelling, with a relaxed one-hour walk around the White House and nearby landmarks. The ghost stories were genuinely interesting without feeling over the top, and added a fun layer to places you’d normally just walk past. Our guide, Brad, was knowledgeable and kept things engaging the entire time. He shared a lot of historical context along with the stories, which made the experience feel more meaningful than just a typical tour. Definitely worth doing if you want something a little different while in DC.

Tour was a good balance... - Tour was a good balance ghost stories and DC history, though I think I would’ve liked a few more spooky tails. I definitely learned things I didn’t know about DC.

Not what we expected - The other reviews are so good, my only conclusion is we must have gotten unluckey with the guide assigned to us. Our group booked a total of 27 people, which I'm pretty sure meant they had to call in a back up guide, because we had to split the group into 2. The guide we got, (Jared i think) got some obvious details incorrect, (i.e. Scott Francis Key instead of Francis Scott Key and Trump being president 43 and 45 instead of 45 and 47), which made us wonder if there were other less obvious details that were also incorrect. He also was struggling to breath at every stop and got out of breath while talking. It was so bad that several adult members of our group were concerned for his safety and health during the tour. The tour also lasted about 35-40 minutes and we were under the impression it would be 60 minutes. There was definitely a better way for our group to have spent $700.
