Plunge into the gripping timeline of April 14, 1865, and investigate the conspiracy that shattered a nation. You will walk the exact streets where the plot unfolded and track John Wilkes Booth’s desperate escape route down Baptist Alley. Stand at the site of the Star Saloon where the assassin threw back his final drink, and step inside the historic Petersen House to see where President Lincoln took his last breath.
Our expert guides dismantle the myths and lay out the raw facts of America's most infamous true-crime story right where it happened.

Only complaint was more...

5.00Only complaint was more time at Ford theatre museum portion would have been nice but hard to do with structured your, I get it. Extremely entertaining and formidable guide. Very well done and money well spent. One other note: it is NOT a private tour. Prior to our tour we had to listen to some blowhard woman and her husband whine about how it was supposed to be. We also booked online and it most definitely does NOT say that. Hopefully the company stayed strong and didn’t refund them because they were wrong. Bunch of babies. How’s that for direct?

5.00First hour of tour is walking to Ford’s Theater. Walking through the actual theater where President Lincoln was assassinated gives you chills, and the entire experience is presented with incredible care and historical detail.
