1.Lincoln Assassination with Ford’s Theatre & Petersen House Entry

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 444 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $62Our pick

A small-group, guided walk through key Lincoln assassination sites, with reserved entry to Ford’s Theatre and the Petersen House.

“Unfortunately I ignored the text from “Unscripted tours” informing me that the 2:00 pm tour starts at 400 7th St NW. My tickets were from Viator. But at 2:00 me and 4 children were at Fords theatre waiting when Tony called and said the tour would be there in a bit. So we waited. And waited. At 3 pm, with the kids getting tired and hungry, we decided to get free tickets and walked through ourselves. Would have loved a guided tour; even the theatre personnel said good things about Tony and the tour.”

“The night of our tour was bitterly cold. We almost canceled but we are so thrilled that we didn't! Becca was just fantastic and brought everything to life (even when we couldn't feel our toes). She is such an incredible wealth of information - tackling not only the subject matter but anything thrown at her generally. Can't speak highly enough about the tour and Becca.”
