    Bad service

    Darrin_W, Jul 2026
    Your ticket did not work and you over charge for your service and take advantage of people even after reaching out for help

    Lincoln Memorial-Even more to admire and learn

    Carol_C, Jul 2026
    There is a movie you can watch. Otherwise it takes about a half hour to see the actual exhibit. Exhibits are interesting and done very well. Can’t believe I have never seen this area of the memorial after all these years in the area.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    After all these years, we are so happy that you were able to see this section of the memorial. It's great to hear that you thought the exhibits were well-presented and that you liked them. We hope you have a greater understanding of this historic site as a result of the experience, and we hope to see you again on another journey! Thanks Carol

    Great time and Museum of Lincoln

    Onur_B, Jul 2026
    The experience was amazing. We saw on social media this was a new activity and museum in DC. Well worth it, we enjoyed the exhibits. They have provided the pdf entry with ebook.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you discovered us and enjoyed the experience. It's great to hear the exhibits and included eBook added to your visit. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back again soon!

    Underwhelming

    Lynn_C, Jul 2026
    It was interesting to see below the Lincoln Memorial but very limited display. It seems like it is just in the beginning of being ready. Would have liked to go deeper below and felt there should have been more displays and facts on how this was built. Should have been free for what we saw.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback Lynn. We understand you were hoping for a more in-depth experience and appreciate your perspective. We're glad you had the chance to visit, and we'll keep your comments in mind as we continue working to provide the best possible experience for our guests.

    No show tour guide

    Marc_A, Jul 2026
    I have been here at site since 10:300 for 11 tour. I have text tour guide through Viator with no answer. What is going on? I will give this a minus 5 stars

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    We're sorry to hear about your frustration. After reviewing your reservation, we can confirm that the service was provided as booked. This experience is a self-guided entry and does not include a physical tour guide, which is stated in the booking details. We understand how this may have caused confusion, and we appreciate your feedback.

    I love the Lincoln...

    Lee_W, Jul 2026
    I love the Lincoln memorial and was excited to see this new museum. I expected to see more and information about Lincoln and his presidency during the civil war.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    What a wonderful feedback! Thanks Lee!. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the Lincoln Memorial, though we're sorry the museum didn't fully meet your expectations. The exhibits are designed to highlight different aspects of Lincoln's life and legacy, and we appreciate your thoughts about wanting more focus on his presidency and the Civil War. We hope you still found parts of the experience meaningful, and thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.

    Great stop.

    David_K, Jul 2026
    I was amazed to see how much work went into building the monument. The under the monument viewing area is very well designed and a great space.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    We're so glad you enjoyed learning about the incredible effort that went into building the monument. It's great to hear you also appreciated the underground viewing area—it's a fascinating space that really adds to the experience. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable visit soon! Thanks David!

    Waste of Money

    Randy_U, Jul 2026
    This is not a tour and tickets are FREE at the Entrance of the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft. We have yet to open the digital Guidebook, which is probably the same information you see as you walk through the Museum. Also, I was bombarded with emails that said my tickets were available and to click on the button to receive them. This was confusing to me because I kept getting the same email over and over. When I clicked on the Get Your Tickets Now there were no tickets. Someone is making a profit by selling tickets they got for free.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for your feedback Randy. We're sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your concerns regarding the nature of the experience and the communications you received before your visit. To clarify, this product includes reserved access information and a digital guidebook rather than a guided tour. We also apologize if the ticket notification emails caused confusion. Your feedback is valuable, and we will review it with our team to improve the clarity of our product descriptions and guest communications. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Less than expected

    Shannon_M, Jul 2026
    Took less than 15 mins. It’s a free activity so don’t pay for a ticket. Nothing inside worth paying for. No guided tour

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    We're sorry to hear the experience didn't meet your expectations. Our ticket provides reserved entry to the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft, but it does not include a guided tour, as noted in the booking details. We understand that every visitor has different expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share yours. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving the experience we provide. Thanks for the feedback, Shannon.

    Very well done exhibit

    Sian_W, Jul 2026
    We spent about 1 hrs there and it was enough time to watch the short video and enjoy all the exhibits. The exhibits are video, audo and model designs and so they appeal to a broad section. It is very well done and I would highly recommend it.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    We truly appreciate your wonderful review! Thanks Sian - We're also delighted to hear you enjoyed the exhibits and found the experience engaging from start to finish. It's great to know the mix of videos, audio, and interactive displays made the visit enjoyable and accessible for everyone. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again the next time you're in Washington, DC!

    Lincoln Croft Tickets Undeliverable @ Washington DC

    Wesley_K, Jul 2026
    I purchased two adult tickets the day before the event but still had not received them by 4:00 PM on July 1, 2026. I spent an hour, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, texting customer support about the missing tickets because they refuse to take phone call. Eventually, another representative called to apologize and informed me that I would receive a full refund within 5–7 business days. After arriving at Lincoln Croft, I was denied entry because my tickets had never been issued. This was extremely frustrating. Not only did I pay for the tickets, but I was shocked to discover that the tickets were apparently unavailable. The experience felt like ticket scalping, a practice that is illegal in many situations and jurisdictions, because tickets were sold to me but were never delivered. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend purchasing event tickets through Viator based on my experience. I used Viator for many events in the past, I am surprised they allow third party to promise delivery tickets like Lincoln Croft which Viator can’t deliver to their customer.

    Thank you, Wesley, for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you experienced, especially after spending so much time trying to resolve the issue before your visit. We understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive at the site only to learn that your tickets had not been issued. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. While we're glad our team was able to arrange a full refund, we know that it doesn't make up for the missed opportunity to visit the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue working to improve our processes and communication.

    SCAM!!!!! Don’t buy from them!!!

    Jamie_W, Jun 2026
    This company sells the tickets before they secure them! Don’t bother buying them. They would have known the day before my tour time that they did not have tickets for me, but they did not let me know until the morning of. That is a massive inconvenience when you are traveling in a city like this and have a very scheduled itinerary. They told me they would try to secure tickets for the following day and I realized they were just going to get on wreck.gov and try to secure them the same way I could for free. I was able to secure my own tickets and get a refund. These companies buy up all the tickets and then sell them so then they’re not available to the public for free. This is such a scam of a business model.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hi Jamie, we only reserve the tickets of reservations we receive online. This is a concierge ticket service for someone who don't want to wait on the line or don't want to think about it or stress. It might be not for you but you provide a lot of misleading and wrong information.
