We had promised our teenage daughter a ghost tour during our President's Day weekend in Washington DC, and the Scary DC tour was the only one running out of season. We had to book a private tour so we were hoping for an interesting 90 mins for $50 pp.
Samuel Chase was very knowledgeable; and despite our dearth of US Capitol history (we're Brits), he made the walk very entertaining and fact filled. I think our daughter was hoping for the odd ghost sighting or two, but sadly, we didn't have any paranormal experiences - not even the legendary harbinger-of-death cat that had appeared the night before - but she still enjoyed herself.
Was it value for money? Yes! Mr. Chase successfully engaged, educated and entertained an uninformed group. The tour would be enhanced by a better grasp of US historical figures and their stories.
