Traveler reviews
Nonexistent tours in DC
I wish I COULD write a review. The tour operator NEVER SHOWED UP. We arrived on time and NO one was at the meeting point. We tried calling and got no response. We went to the house where Lincoln died and spent quite a bit of time there. NO tours showed up while we were there. On top of that, this tour promoted Ford's Theater on the agenda. We found out that it is CLOSED for the summer due to maintenance. FALSE advertising!!!! Unacceptable! I need to get my money back!
Disappointed
Need to have a tour operators actually call attendees and leave voicemail messages. The location was changed the day before I replied that I received that change via email and an hour before we were supposed to meet. It was changed again to a different location via a text message which I never received because I have blocking enabled on my phone. So we didn’t do the tour. Also, at the time of our tour, the theater is closed for remodel, so I’m not sure how good a tour this would’ve been.
Read tour description carefully
Read the tour descriptions very, very carefully. The Lincoln theater is usually closed to the public during the summer, we found out when we went. Summer of 2026, there was construction, and the Lincoln museum was also closed. The Peterson House and small museum were open. The tour basically walked us outside along the city streets retracing Booths route and all we saw were the exit doors from the theater. Interesting info, but easily done on one’s own. Just be sure to read the tour description for this one carefully before paying. Also, the phone app did not stay updated for changes to our reservation which was frustrating. Customer service agents are very nice and helpful on the phone.
A little disappointed.
A little disappointed. From the event thumbnail, one (1) could assume that a tour of the Ford Theatre was included. Unfortunately, it was not. Not only that, the tour ended at the Ford Theatre, and the tour guide said that on the same day, Ford Theatre tickets are available next door. Well, of course, we went there hoping to snag some same-day tickets, and the sign said, "Closed for Maintenance." Not only that, but it was the Fourth of July weekend, and our tour was for 11 AM on July 3rd. We get a message the night before, saying hey, the road will be closed by 11 AM, we need to reschedule you at 8 AM. No issues. We agreed. We showed up at the designated place and time, no bus. We called. Someone answered and said, "... oh no, you are at the wrong pickup location. You need to be at 9th & Penn. We hurry over there. Still no bus. Yes, the bus came back for us, and we were thankful. However, lots of miscommunication on the tour operations.
Tour Guide Dwayne was so...
Tour Guide Dwayne was so knowledgeable and kind! It was a very fun tour and I learned so many facts about Lincoln that I never knew before! Very cool tour!
