Great experience highly recommend even with small kiddos. - Chris was amazing! She kept my 7 and 9 year old engaged the whole time and us as well ! The walking was not bad at all, very easy. I was worried about the kiddos because we had been walking all day already. The overall company was great to work with. It was raining the night of our initial tour. They contacted me and rescheduled for the next night no issues. Highly recommend this tour, even if you’re a non believer you can still get some great photos of the capital lit up without all the tourists in the way.

Good tour - Nice tour with Kris. She was great with everyone including the children on the tour. She’s kind and speaks very clearly. We also enjoyed the nighttime views of the buildings. Very peaceful Thursday night.

Chris was an excellent... - Chris was an excellent guide for this tour. She had a great combination of historical facts and ghostly perspectives. This tour is very family friendly-nothing too gruesome and the walking is about a mile.

Fun for young teens - We took a group of 8th graders on the tour and they all really enjoyed it. They learned some history while hearing the ghost stories. It was great!
