Haunted Pub Crawl

We went on the Haunted Pub Crawl and had so much fun! This tour is great for history buffs who also want to let loose a little. Our guide, Henry, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Good ghostly fun!

This was a super fun and knowledge-packed tour. It was a great way to visit the big downtown DC landmarks and learn haunted history along the way. Our tour guide was very cool and super knowledgeable about all the ghostly goings on. I'd highly recommend going if you're interested.

Great experience

I really enjoyed the dry sense of of humor along with the vast obscure knowledge. Long enough to get your money's worth, but not too long.

Family with Teens on a Ghost Tour

My daughter really wanted to take a Ghost Tour when we visited DC so I took my family of five in this hour walking tour and even added an extra half hour. Our guide, Elisabeth, was so fun and had so much information for us. One of the guests rented an EMP device as well and we all enjoyed watching the lights change and fluctuate as the tour progressed. There were just 10 people in our group so it was easy to move from place to place and easy to hear our guide. We also had a much more personal experience and got to know our guide a bit more. We even had a Presidential flyover during the tour. It was such an iconic experience to hear the history and stories while standing in the very spots they occurred all while viewing and listening to the sights and sounds of Washington DC as it is today. History really came alive and we had a great time hearing these ghost stories from, Elisabeth. I would highly recommend DC Ghost Tours if you or your teens love ghost stories or history. It’s a walking tour but we didn’t have to walk more than a mile for the entire tour. Be sure to bring some cash and tip your guide if they do a great job like Elisabeth did for us. You’ll have a fun evening!

Great Tour

Casey was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was obvious that he had a passion for the DC area. Despite the construction in the area he did a great job of pivoting and making the tour enjoyable.
