"Nice Walk Around the Capital"
September 2018
We got dinner with friends near the meetup spot, then went for the tour. It was a small, friendly group, and our tour guide was VERY into it. Compared to other ghost tours we’ve been on in the area (Harper’s Ferry, WV; and Gettysburg, PA), there isn’t as much material, however, the nighttime views of the Capitol Building and the Supreme Court, sprinkled in with some DC lore is really something. I learned a lot, and we were entertained. I’m OK with the $20 I spent on my ticket!
