5.00Michael was a great tour guide for this trip! He was very knowledgeable about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln but also on the history of DC, the background of all of those involved prior to the shooting and some very fun facts that you wouldn’t have thought about. The walking path we went on was not too crazy but it was a beautiful night as well so that helped. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting DC and especially for those who want to learn more about Lincoln.

5.00Tour was great, it ended up just being our family on a very cold night. Could have easily been miserable, but Trevor made it fun and brought all of the interesting facts. He was so nice and came with a lot of great tips about DC, where to eat and what to do. Highly recommend

5.00The night of our tour was bitterly cold. We almost canceled but we are so thrilled that we didn't! Becca was just fantastic and brought everything to life (even when we couldn't feel our toes). She is such an incredible wealth of information - tackling not only the subject matter but anything thrown at her generally. Can't speak highly enough about the tour and Becca.
