Reviews
When I was in high school, I went with my parents to DC and visited Ford's theater. We had the BEST tour guide, who walked us through, moment by moment, the night Lincoln was assassinated. It was like we were there.
When I took my teenahe daughter to DC alone a number of years ago, I was excited for that same experience. So I was extremely disappointed to realize they'd built a museum in the basement of the theater and now handed you a headset with a pre-recorded story that walked you along walls of photos and objects.
She was bored out of her skull.
So I was determined to find something better for my trip with my two teensge boys...and did I ever.
This tour was HANDS DOWN the best part of DC.
Rebecca was our tour guide. We met her at a church a block from the White House and ended our walking tour at Ford's Theater. Along the two hour stroll, she pointed out homes and buildings and brought to life the night of April 14, 1965.
The boys were ENTRALLED...by her knowledge...her storytelling...one boy might have even mentioned he wants to end up with a girl that smart. (Music to my ears)
If you're coming to DC, you NEED to do this tour. See if you can get Rebecca.
Fyi... you don't actually go in the theater, but truly, it didn't even matter. She had a tablet where she showed photos and explained it all, and we were able to visualize it perfectly!
It was all I was hoping for and more.
Very informative
Fairly priced
Great way to spend your evening
