report as inappropriateDue to the rain, I was not able to attend. What can be done concerning reimbursement, next tour, etc.
report as inappropriateThis was such a unique experience and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Bill, fully committed to the role and never broke character. He did an amazing job of painting a picture of what we would experience in the time as well as piecing together the details that made the assassination a conspiracy. I would suggest this to anyone whether they are a tourist in DC or live in the area!
report as inappropriateI've taken another tour about the Lincoln Assassination. The other started at the White House and goes east. This one starts at the Ford Theater and provides more details about Booth and his movement through DC on his escape to Maryland and Virginia. The highlight of this tour is the use of a detective charactor from the era to lead the tour and a brochure that shows pictures of the principals in the assassination conspiracy and their roles.

Description
On the night of April 14, 1865, Detective John McDevitt was on duty at the Washington Metropolitan Police headquarters at the corner of 10th and E Streets. Just before 10:30pm, frantic witnesses rushed in with news: President Lincoln had been shot at Ford’s Theatre. Before long, other rumors swept the streets: the Secretary of State, the Vice-President, General Grant were all dead...Southern prisoners had been freed...Confederate cavalry were converging on the city. This tour will look at the Lincoln assassination conspiracy and separate fact from fiction.
History on Foot lasts approximately two hours and makes at least eight stops throughout the story. The tour does not actually go inside the theater. The distance walked is approximately 1.4 miles, an easy walk to follow one of the most exciting nights in American history.
