A new view of DC - We had already walked past these buildings without knowing how nice they were inside, so it was great to be guided into the nicest places. Cath’s history made it extra fun. She was very accommodating of my hearing difficulty as well as interesting to talk to.

It was a very fun experience that I highly recommend. - Dalton was a great leader. He took us to places we would never think to go for just a drink. He shared a lot of the history with us.

Pub crawl in DC - Cassie our guide was fabulous. I went for a dry run and bought the drinks separately from the group as I am not big fun of beer however Cassie was very knowledgeable and recommended drinks to the rest of the group. She also gave us a history of places we went to and of DC in general. I highly recommend this especially if Cassie is your guide.

Awesome guides and awesome time! - My aunt and I joined Diana and Jo on the history pub crawl and it was wonderful. It was such a fun way to see some different spots in the city and learn some lesser known history of the city. I'd recommend this to any and everyone and would love to do it in another city.

Add the bar names to the tour description - Our tour guide was friendly and shared interesting stories. Myself and partner were the only ones who booked for that reservation, I think it would have been a better time with a group rather than just us and the tour guide. Also, only one of the bars on the planned route we hadn't been to yet and it was closed that day. Would suggest sharing the names of the bars on the itinerary so people know before booking.
