George Town ghost tour

Tammy_S, May 2024

This was a lovely tour to see George Town and gain history of the area but, not much regarding ghosts or hauntings.

Whispering Tales of a City’s Haunted Past

Robin_E, Apr 2024

Great nighttime walking tour - a lot of fun facts while focusing on the rich spooky history of the area.

Great history. No ghosts- no graveyards. Tell people how far the walk is when advertising.

Karen_F, Apr 2024

History of the area and famous people in history. History includes the Kennedy’s and Lincoln’s, Russian spy’s , and ghost stories.

AMAZING!

Gina_P, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Georgia was awesome, as was the tour! It was an hour and a half of interesting storytelling and walking around the beautiful town. A must for anyone visiting Georgetown!

Hard pass

Roman_B, Apr 2024

Great concept. Poor execution. Guide was nice, but realistically this is just a walk around Georgetown in the dark with a few stories. Save your money

Fun Time!

Rob_G, Apr 2024

Great to hear history of the city as an aside from the normal “monuments”! Sara did a great job!! We would recommend it to those who want something different.

Fun tour!

Karen_J, Apr 2024

Eli is personable, funny, and informative! We had a good time walking and listening to his stories. Definitely a highlight of our DC trip!

Great Tour of Georgetown’s Ghost Stories and Historic Sites

Joshua_G, Apr 2024

Great tour of Georgetown. Wesley was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable about the history of the neighborhood and the resident ghosts reported to haunt some of the historic buildings. Finishing at The Exorcist steps was a perfect way to finish the easy walking tour of Georgetown. Highly recommend, we all enjoyed the tour (kids included).

Lots of fun!

SHANNON_W, Apr 2024

We had a great time on our ghost tour. Ingaborg was our guide. She was energetic and had passion for talking about the city. We got some great historical facts and some family friendly ghost stories, urban legends and creepy happenings.

Informative and Entertaining

Linda_G, Mar 2024

I loved the history and quirky stories that are part of Georgetown’s history. Collin kept us riveted with a tour around the town - from the haunting nanny, to Robert Todd Lincoln’s “curse,” to The Exorcist house. I highly recommend.

Great 90 minute tour!

Lauren_P, Mar 2024

Well informed tour guide! Very nice walking around beautiful Georgetown at night! My 16 year old son and I really enjoyed it!

Great way to see Georgetown

Aimee_H, Mar 2024

Very easy to sign up and the tour guy was spectacular! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a thrilled to be off the main drag and see all of the beautiful homes in Georgetown residential areas. We walked pretty fast and uphill at times so wear comfy shoes and be sure you use the restroom before starting the tour. Be mindful that the tour ends in a very different location than where it starts.

Beautiful historic homes, and ghost stories rich with history!

Carol_F, Mar 2024

Georgia is truly a professional story-teller. So engaging and friendly. Georgetown at night is beautiful! The stories to go along with sightseeing were memorable and rich with history. Georgia also had great bar recommendations for after the tour. I highly recommend and would go on the tour again.

Not really a ghost tour

Janine_T, Mar 2024

This is not really a ghost tour. This is an unusual history tour. We stopped at two places that may have ghosts the rest of the tour was unusual history. It wasn't that it was bad it was just not a ghost tour and it didn't take 2 hours as indicated... more like an hour and three quarters. We booked this because it was the longest ghost tour and actually cost the most of those we saw so we thought it might be better. Can't speak to better because I didn't do any other ghost tours on this trip.

This was an entertaining...

Melissa_K, Mar 2024

This was an entertaining presentation of Georgetown History using stories about ghosts in a way that wasn't about hokey.

It was a fun experience!...

Adriana_M, Mar 2024

It was a fun experience! We did the tour with our two girls (10 and 12) and it was fun for them too! Georgia (our guide) was amazing!!!! Definitely recommend if you’re in DC!

Ghosts and History

TULISHA_B, Mar 2024

Ingeborg was a fantastic guide. I love how she delved into the history of Georgetown to explain the city’s ghosts. I particularly enjoyed that. We ended the tour with the Exorcist steps and she gave an excellent synopsis of the “true” story. We explored beautiful Georgetown for 1.5 hours. I highly recommend this tour.

Good experience. Good...

Tim_S, Mar 2024

Good experience. Good host. Fun and informative. Got to see local hot spots too. Would recommend....

Poor

Vera_A, Mar 2024

I was expecting to hear more ghost stories as georgetown is a old place I'm sure we have a good range of spookie stories and a deeper research in stories is needed

Informative and fun

Christine_K, Mar 2024

Eli was very knowledgeable and lighthearted. The different sights around Georgetown were beautiful. I would go again.
