November Magic - The tour guide was the best. Bubbling with knowledge and humor and a touch of class, Allegra was the greatest guide I’ve had in any city. She reminded me of a theatrical student moving around like a marionette and spinning a vocabulary that had me quietly peeking at my thesaurus app when nobody was looking. She was amazing in a nutshell. She was inclusive too and I respected that being the only solo person on the tour. I arrived with a mouthful of Orajel, ready to duck down a sidewalk if it got too bad. The next thing I knew I was apparently transported to the front of the Capitol Rotunda, listening and laughing as she put the finishing touches on a medium paced whirlwind. The engagement made me forget about any pain I had, orthodontically speaking. I am so glad I didn’t go back to the hotel to lick my wounds that night. It was magical! -Robert

Fun time with ghosts - Our guide Mike was really fun and knew his stuff. We had some inconviences regarding the election and he overcame it like a champ. Really great experience to get to know D.C. and learn interesting pieces of history.

Spooky History - 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!

Spooky Tales of DC - 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.

Good times - 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!

I Would Pass - 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 👻
