"Great time with Scary DC and the ghost of Davy Crockett"

Reviewed April 07, 2025

My partner and I had a great time on our ghost tour of capital hill. Our tour guide Davy Crocket (Ron) was a hoot and did a great job of regaling us with stories of the area. He also nailed the Appalachian accent. A memorable time would definitely recommend!
