My sister and I always go on ghost tours while on vacation. We decided to do a pub crawl ghost tour most recently in Alexandria. What a fun and entertaining night! Hands down, our tour guide, Jaime, who played a fantastic Martha Washington was so fun. She has great energy and it's obvious that she loves what she does. If you are looking for a fun ghost tour that takes you to where George Washington was known to partake in libations, this is your tour!

Among the historic streets, manicured gardens and Victorian row houses of DC’s finest neighborhood lie deep, dark secrets about a forgotten past. Come along to hear stories from long ago that trace the development of Gerorgetown from a small tobacco port to a major commercial trading center. Many important historical figures have lived or stayed here and documented their experiences in letters and journals. Some of these folks have never left, haunting these grand residences to this day. On this family friendly tour you will learn about this town and be enchanted by its past, present, and future.

We actually did two tours in one day with this great company. First, I organized both tours the day before we arrived. I probably wouldn’t recommend this approach if it wasn’t during the pandemic as I doubt they can accommodate late requests during normal busy periods. In the morning we had a private tour with Colin in historic Georgetown. He’s such an interesting and intelligent young man. Thoroughly enjoyed our two hours in this beautiful part of Washington. In the afternoon, we signed up for a group tour of the monuments. Lucky for us, it turned out to be a private tour with not one but three great guides! We had a fabulous tour with Emilia and family (!) today. This lovely lady had her month old son with her along with her tour guide husband, Stephen and good friend, Cash, who also work as guides. They didn’t miss a beat! They were all engaging, thoughtful guides who gave us a great intro to the memorials in DC. So happy we did this tour with them!

Very entertaining tour! Longtime resident of the district and still learned a lot. The tour guide was very engaging, and it was a nice nighttime walk around the Capitol. Very family friendly.

I ordered two tickets the day of the tour. We get to the meeting spot 20 mins early and wait for over a half hour. No one shows up. I call the tour company, and they said they never got our order. Apparently the vendor ‘Viator’ that TripAdvisor uses doesn’t always work. Since we were the only ones who signed up, and they never got our order, they cancelled the tour; and we were never alerted. They were nice and offered to refund our tickets and give us a free tour anytime during the rest of our stay, but I’m not sure we’ll be taking them up on that. We wasted our entire night, and I’m pretty disappointed in this tour group and TripAdvisor.
