Join this laugh out loud guided walking tour that takes you through the more sordid past of our founding fathers.

Lincoln Assassination Tour February 24, 2014On a recent weekend trip to DC, my boyfriend and I took the Lincoln Assassination tour with Chris and the National Mall Tour with Canden. I highly recommend both--they are very knowledgeable and entertaining. The Lincoln Assassination tour tells the story of the events leading up to and the night of the assassination, and you get to walk the path of a very interesting and historic sequence of events. The National Mall tour is a good way to see the monuments with more context and history than you would get by merely walking through and reading the plaques.
Don't forget to tip--that's how the guides get paid! -

Lincoln Assassination Tour July 31, 2013The Lincoln Assassination tour by Becca was like living in a novel that you can't put down. I was completely engrossed in the stories she told. I don't have a long attention span, but the tour was so well delivered and multi-dimensional that I became wrapped up in the tour without thinking about it. The weather was rainy, but I soon forgot about the rain. I feel like I actually experienced the night that Lincoln was killed.
I also went on Canden's tour of Georgetown, and it was a very lovely tour. She is very friendly and loves Georgetown. Her passion for the area really shined through. I enjoyed learning about the various places in residential Georgetown. The walk is beautiful and there are a lot of stops, so it's not tiring. -
