    Georgetown, Washington DC - My handsome husband surprised me with Saturday night tickets for the…read moreGeorgetown Ghost Tour. We are local to the area and love history, spooky stories and corny jokes so for us this is a fun date :-). The tour began at the Old Stone House where we were checked in and divided into two groups of about 18 people each. Everyone in our group was from out of town except us and our amazing tour guide Sonia. She effortlessly led us from site to site while allowing time for questions and photos. She also made sure our group stayed together and safely crossed the streets. I was concerned that it would be hard to hear given the traffic and Saturday night usual cacophony that is Georgetown but that generally wasn't a problem. We didn't see any ghosts - DRAT! But we did have fun and learn some history along the way. We would recommend this tour company and this particular tour.

She also was very knowledgeable and respectful of current tenants of the buildings and made sure that the group was also respectful for those living in the area. Love the tour especially with it ending at the Exorcist stairway.

My gut feeling was spot on. What a FANTASTIC tour!! We were assigned Tony and Cheikh (pronounced "Shake") and they were just incredible and both--together--toured my family around Washington DC like absolute professionals. Years in the business, each of them, we saw and experienced the District of Columbia in a very nice black SUV--super clean and comfortable. We toured in the evening, and I'd say that the words "Paris on the Potomac" are not used in vein. This city is absolutely spectacular at night--but what made it even better was Tony and Cheikh. We would not have been anywhere near as efficient nor as well informed as we were this evening without them. We found ourselves at every single stop asking questions along our tour. Why this? What's that? When did so and so happen? What is the significance? What's that over there? And so many more. Frankly, Tony was probably tired of it--but my real sense is that he enjoyed it too! Here's the difference with PTW--your tour guide stays with you answering all your inquisitive questions and your driver stays with the car and drives up to meet you whenever and wherever the tour guide shares with him to be. Walk into one side of a memorial, come out another--no problem. You may think only one person can handle both tasks--but that would be an incorrect assumption. Not here in DC--just too much to see and do. Do yourself a favor and book with PTW--and you'll be forever grateful for the totally inclusive and immersive experience in our nation's Capitol. It was simply unbelievable for us. Thanks to Cheikh, Tony, Bill & Team PTW.

    One of D.C.'s more obscure museums is in a 1904 rowhouse in Dupont Circle. The home of L. Ron…read moreHubbard starting in 1955, the building is now a museum about Hubbard, the founder of Scientology and the world's most prolific fiction writer. (It's an actual Guinness World Record.) Tours are given daily from 10am to 6pm, but it's best to call in advance to secure a spot. One day, I walked in and they didn't have availability for that day so I made a verbal reservation for the next week. The tour is guided by their tour guide and lasts around 90 minutes. The guide shows you four floors of rooms with artifacts. You'll learn about Rob Hubbard's impressive life, see his office with original artifacts inside including a Mongolian drum from Genghis Khan's army that's over 800 years old. You'll also see a library with his books, see where he recorded his lessons, and learn about Scientistology. As someone who is not part of their church, I didn't feel evangelized to during the tour. The guide was very nice.

We intended to spend an hour going through the house museum and ended up being there for 3 1/2 hours. There is just so much of Mr. Hubbard's life chronicled here. I am told you can move through the whole museum in 20 minutes if you are short on time, but I highly recommend taking a longer tour.
