5.00Chris gave an excellent tour. It was both informative and fun, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! (He also gives great lunch recommendations!)
Evocative, high-definition, like no history lesson we’ve ever experienced

5.00From the start of the tour it was clear that Chris has a passion and deep knowledge about the history of DC and has a gift of conveying information in a very accessible way. It’s clear that he has researched the subject and his familiarity allows him to pull many pieces of the historical “puzzle” together. The energy is genuine is sustained throughout. So many intriguing pieces of history are part of the “Assassinations & Crimes Tour”. I want to share some of the cool facts of this experience but you need to hear them firsthand. We’re anxious to come back for the other tours. Keep up the good work, Chris!
