Join us on this uniquely DC true-crime night tour. Learn the stories and the drama surrounding events that made this city shine amongst the shadows of American history. With the help of our buses, we can cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time while still getting up close and personal.

5.00Great experience!!! Guide and driver had a great relationship. Guide was supper knowledgeable, funny and knew how to engage the group I think his name was Derek and the driver was Lenny. I feel like I learned a lot and had a blast.

1.00It was way too long and not very interesting. The tour guide was terrible. He talked way too much and dragged the stories on way too long. The tours was supposed to be 3 hours it was 3 1/2 hours. This tour could have been done in 1 hour. As for the tour guide he used words that were inappropriate in mixed company. Also he had to point out a RAT in a garage can. This was the worst tour we have never been on. We should be getting a refund. Your tour company represents our country to visiting people all over the world. Very sad representation of our country.

3.00It was a bit boring and long! Lasted 3.5 hours! There is more walking than I thought. Guide & driver were nice but guide rambled on a bit.

5.00We had a great time! Lenny and Derek were so much fun, and incredibly informed. I am at least 30 years their senior and they knew everything I knew and more! Definitely make this one of your must-dos if you visit DC!
