The Georgetown ghost tour was phenomenal! We try to do a ghost tour in every city we visit and this is was one of the best we’ve ever done. I love that this is a women owned, women run company. Kat was a delight. What we enjoyed the most was all the history mixed in with the tales. Both my 14 year old and 8 year old loved it. Lastly, the owners were incredibly accommodating. We purchased tickets in Dec 2023 and the weather was a torrential downpour. We decided to skip it and the owners allowed us to rebook for Nov of 2024 the next time we were in town. Truly appreciate the amazing customer service and can’t wait to try DC by Foot’s other tours the next time we’re in town
