Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Lincoln Assassination Tour?

A: There aren’t any strict age restrictions, but the tour is probably best for teens and adults due to the historical content and themes discussed. Younger kids might not find it as engaging. Just make sure they can walk for a couple of hours, as it's a guided walking tour.

Q: What should we wear for the Lincoln Tour? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: Casual is totally fine! Just wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking a lot. The tour goes through downtown, and some areas might be uneven. I wore jeans and a t-shirt and felt perfectly fine. You might wanna check the weather too, since it can get hot in DC!

Q: How do rescheduling and cancellations work for the Lincoln Tour?

A: You can usually reschedule your tour if you give at least 24 hours notice, but definitely check the specific policy when you buy the tickets. They want to accommodate everyone as best they can. Cancellations are typically allowed too, but again, timing is key!

Thinking of gifting the Lincoln Assassination Tour! Any thoughts?

I’m considering this tour for my history-loving dad's birthday. I love that it includes entry to Ford's Theatre and the Petersen House! The idea of walking through the same streets Lincoln did is just amazing. Is it worth it? Anyone done it?

Just did the Lincoln Assassination Tour – it was unforgettable!

I went on the tour last week, and wow! Learning about Lincoln’s assassination right where it happened was so intense. The guide shared some great stories and facts. Visiting the Petersen House was super emotional too. Highly recommend it if you’re in DC!
