Washington DC Political Scandals and True Crime Tour
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.
