Great tour about Lincoln! Highly recommend as Jesse does a great job.

Elise_K, Sep 2026

This is an amazing tour. The tour guide is incredible and his name is Jesse. So knowledge about American history and Lincoln’s time in office and the assisination.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, this is wonderful to read! Lincoln's years in office are the part Jesse most enjoys building up before we ever reach the theatre, and it clearly landed. We would love to welcome you back to Cornerstone Tours.

Great tour!

Nicolle_C, Sep 2026

Jesse was incredibly knowledgeable, fun and personable during the entire tour. He was patient and answered all our questions, as well as provided unknown details. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, Nicolle! Jesse loves the Lincoln Assassination Tour and it shows, so we're glad his knowledge and patience with questions made the day for you. Those lesser-known details about Ford's Theatre, Petersen House, and the conspirators' route are what make this tour special. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back to DC.
