I take ghost tours because I learn the often untold or hidden history for a city. A good story teller really does make the experience so much more enjoyable. Well done.
Krista_H, Oct 2025
Kyle was very knowledgeable and personable and we enjoyed learning from him. He gave us a lot of history about DC in the area that we were unaware of, which was really cool! Also, it was awesome that fire tour let us move our walking tour to the following day when it was raining pretty hard on the original day of our planned tour. I always appreciate companies working with us to make sure it’s a good experience for all.

Mike was our guide, he was great and very informative, he clearly cares about what he does. It was just me and my friend, so it was more personalized

Short walk around the area of the capital. A fun activity for those looking for a night activity. Some lesser known history lessons.
Candee_H, Sep 2025
Unfortunately something happened and we could not make our activity. Bummer. The reason for my review, although I didn't actually attend, is to tell you how great they were to check in with us. I will definitely rebook with them.

Karen_R, May 2025
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.
Lorin_T, May 2025
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!
Rayanna_C, May 2025
1000% recommend this tour with Chris. She was so insightful, intriguing, and had a humourous flair. A must-do activity!
Nick_G, May 2025

Victoria_H, Apr 2025
Chris was the best story teller! She really made the tour so great. 😄 we would recommend to anyone traveling to DC

We booked a last minute tour on Easter day. So glad that Rizzo was available. It was almost a private tour as there was only one other participant. Rizzo has a masters in history and it was apparent during the tour. She definitely did her research! The tour was very informative and as spooky as it could be with the newish (1800s) federal buildings.
Cara_M, Apr 2025
The tour included fun and interesting stories about the area and was a good way to see some of the buildings.
Maggie_C, Apr 2025
One of the best tours I have gone on. Our guide, Nick, was knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous. Such a great way to learn about DC’s history and see the sights at night with way less people around.
Julie_S, Nov 2024
I really liked our tour guide! It rained on us the entire time and he just journeyed on!! I will be back.
Aimee_J, Nov 2024
The kids wanted a ghost tour and we got that and more. Love the combination of ghost stories and history all wrapped up in a spunky tour guide name Allegra! Would recommend so anyone with kids and for “big kids” also!
Phillip_S, Nov 2024
Allegra was a great and enthusiastic guide. It was a great spooky little tour with plenty of history as well. Highly recommend!
Terry_C, Oct 2024
Not what we expected. It was difficult to hear throughout the entire tour. Not a good idea to speak in front of a large, flowing fountain. The historical tidbits were interesting but we wanted a ghost tour. Nothing very ghostly or spooky about the tales. It was dull and uninspired I’m afraid 👻

Our tour guide Richard was amazing. There were a few times that it was difficult to hear him but he was very knowledgeable and engaging. I would definitely take another tour with Richard as our guide.
Misty_L, Oct 2024
All the stories were interesting. Learned neat facts I didn’t know. My favorite? The Folgers that still haunt Shakespeares library today. The buildings are beautifully lit up at night. Our guide was very informative and great! very spirited for the job!
Robert_N, Oct 2024
Richard was informative and engaging. We had an enjoyable tour (beautiful weather helped). Fun Halloween themed way to end a night in town.
Anthony_M, Oct 2024
Michael was enthusiastic and entertaining. Not to mention knowledgeable about things besides ghosts which was fun to learn about too!
Megan_F, Oct 2024
Had a really great time on this trip. Our guide was informative and great company - we had a blast and learned lots of interesting DC history.
Sam_M, Oct 2024
Tour guide had little to say, but definitely liked talking about scoobie doo which was extremely annoying. We just left the tour.
Elif_E, Oct 2024
Our tour guide was very engaging. Walking around Capitol Hill area at night was amazing.
It is a great option for family and friends
