Overview

Join us on this uniquely DC true-crime night tour. Learn the stories and the drama surrounding events that made this city shine amongst the shadows of American history. With the help of our buses, we can cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time while still getting up close and personal. Learn the history of infamous moments at the places where they happened: we'll see the iconic Watergate Hotel and enjoy the stunning rooftop terrace of the Kennedy Center, two reminders of the most headline-making moments in the American 20th century; we'll visit locations great for social media and photos like the plaza outside the Capitol & supreme at night, and the National Mall where we'll learn the wild history of the Smithsonian, the world's largest museum that's based here in DC. This tour is an excellent option for travelers looking for a fun spin on a sightseeing tour and for visitors who have already seen the classic sights and want a little more from Washington's scandalous stories.

We check in our guests besides the plaza underneath the Navy Flags.

So many fun facts! We're not tourists and have been living in the DC metro area for more than 20 years and the history of our hometown never ceases to amaze me. Such a fun night on the town seeing all the sites and learning about all the juicy scandalous tid bits of our Nation's Capital. We traveled with our two year old and she had a ball chatting it up with our super friendly tour guide and bus driver. Would highly recommend to all! Even locals!

The drama! What a vibe!

It was the best tour ever! My friends and I loved it! I loved seeing DC with friends but going away from the memorials I have already seen. Who knew DC was so cool!
