We had an amazing experience on our tour, all thanks to Ingeborg! From the very start, they were punctual, professional, and welcoming. What really set them apart was their deep knowledge of Washington, DC/Capitol Hill at Night: Scandals, Murder, Politics. Instead of just reciting boring facts, they shared fascinating stories and history that brought the place to life. They also gave us excellent local recommendations for food and things to do after the tour. If you are visiting Washington DC, make sure to ask for Ingeborg!

Trevor made sure our group had so much fun and he really provided high-spirited energy throughout the entire tour. I was looking forward to the Scandals tour and he did not disappoint! He came with great photos/background of the characters discussed to really set the scene and extremely organized in his presentation. I appreciated his professional boundaries on the story telling aspect of the scandals- and his ability to make the stories come to life. Truly a fun way to learn a bit more about history. Already looking forward to doing another tour with Trevor!

This was a great way to go at your own pace, eliminate any stops you’ve already covered, try to get it as concise as possible when you have a tight schedule. Enjoyed the info!

You meet your guide at the capital south metro exit. There is only one exit. The tour is very informative with lots if very interesting stories. The capital is about two blocks away. There are a few stops before the capital including the supreme court. Rebecca is very passionate about history and a great storyteller. We went in May and the crowds were smaller at these monuments as the sun set. Great time to get photos. Rebecca had a tablet with photos of the characters that starred in the stories. Our favorite story involved Alice Roosevelt. Highly recommend!

Rebecca was awesome and shared some really great stories. As we wandered museums the day after our tour, my husband and I kept recalling stories shared with us and looking for specific figures in photos (we found Alice Roosevelt more than once!).
It was a great time and I would recommend it to anyone interested.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you! We’re so glad Rebecca’s stories stayed with you and made your museum visits even more meaningful. We really appreciate the recommendation!
