This was a great tour to understand the whole day the lincoln assassination happened. The tour explains what everyone did on that day, jow was their was going etc. It also highlights the history about 16th President. Our Guide Georgia was on time and provided great insights about the tour. At the end she gave us some recommendation for good food as well. The tour starts near the north entrance of the white house and ends at Ford Theatre. The tour last for around 2-2.5 hours.

Our tour guide Jim was excellent. His knowledge coupled with his story telling skills made the walking tour enjoyable and entertaining. The tour went over the 2-hr time frame due to road closures but the time went by fast.

This tour was great! Becca is a great storyteller and wove many aspects of the Lincoln assassination together seamlessly as we walked the city. Such a fun tour to do in the evening when most of the museums are closed!

First class! We enjoyed walking downtown DC and seeing the city at night, but the star of the tour was our guide Becca. She did a great job relaying the story of the assassination, the conspirators, and Lincoln’s family, and answered all of our questions expertly. We had an amazing time and learned a ton. Wonderful tour!
