Family friendly, great experience! - Awesome amount of historical knowledge of the area, buildings, events, and former occupants. Brought my 9 and 14 year old kids and it was very family friendly. We loved every part of it and highly recommend taking the tour with Richard!

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.

Refund Issue - My tour was cancelled on 06/13 because the tour guides were concerned about the protests potentially happening which I understood. I was offered a voucher, which I declined because I wanted a refund and I confirmed this over the phone with someone named Katy- I was only in DC for the weekend and two of those three days were cancelled by the ghost tour. It is now two weeks after and I have yet to receive my refund, despite speaking to Katy the morning of my tour, and also sending a message following up last week through the tripadvisor app.
