Great stories - I take ghost tours because I learn the often untold or hidden history for a city. A good story teller really does make the experience so much more enjoyable. Well done.

Fun tour and learned a lot too! - Kyle was very knowledgeable and personable and we enjoyed learning from him. He gave us a lot of history about DC in the area that we were unaware of, which was really cool! Also, it was awesome that fire tour let us move our walking tour to the following day when it was raining pretty hard on the original day of our planned tour. I always appreciate companies working with us to make sure it’s a good experience for all.

Even though we couldn't make it...they were so so nice!!! - Unfortunately something happened and we could not make our activity. Bummer. The reason for my review, although I didn't actually attend, is to tell you how great they were to check in with us. I will definitely rebook with them.

So-so - Our tour was an hour and not an hour and a half. Info was good tour guide was nice. It was definitely family friendly. Not spooky or scary at all. It was nice to walk by some off the buildings at night. As long as your expectations are not too high it was fine. Would not recommend though.
