Abraham Lincoln Lebens-, Vermächtnis- und Attentatstour
Beschreibung
Folgen Sie Abraham Lincoln auf dieser Tour durch Washington, D.C. und erforschen Sie die Ermordung des 16. Präsidenten Amerikas. Beginnend in der Nähe des Nationalarchivs, erfahren Sie mehr über Lincolns Präsidentschaft, den Bürgerkrieg und die dramatischen Ereignisse vom 14. April 1865. Besuchen Sie wichtige Orte, die mit Lincoln und John Wilkes Booth verbunden sind, darunter das Willard Hotel, National Theatre, National Hotel, Chinatown und das Lincoln Memorial. In der Nähe von Wok and Roll, dem Gelände des ehemaligen Surratt Boarding House, finden Sie heraus, wo Booth und seine Mitverschwörer das Attentat geplant haben. Die Tour endet im Ford's Theatre District mit Außenbesuchen im Ford's Theatre und Petersen House, wo Lincoln nach der Schießerei entführt wurde und am nächsten Morgen starb. Die Tour betritt keine der beiden Seiten, aber Gäste können die Gegend nach der Tour erkunden. Zwischen dem 28. Mai und dem 31. August ist der Innenraum des Ford's Theatre wegen Reparaturarbeiten geschlossen. Während dieser Zeit wird die Führung nur das Äußere des Theaters besuchen.

Reiseverlauf
Treten Sie auf dieser 2-stündigen Wanderung nach dem letzten Tag von Präsident Abraham Lincoln in eine der dramatischsten Nächte der amerikanischen Geschichte zurück. Beginnend im ehemaligen National Hotel an der 6th Street und Pennsylvania Avenue erfahren die Gäste am 14. April 1865 von John Wilkes Booths Bewegungen, während er vor genau dem Hotel stand, in dem er in Zimmer 253 übernachtete und sich mit Mitverschwörern traf. Von dort folgt die Tour Booths Weg entlang der Pennsylvania Avenue in Richtung 10th Street und zeichnet die Route nach, die er nur wenige Stunden vor dem Attentat genommen hat.
Das Erlebnis setzt sich fort mit einem Halt im Ford's Theatre, wo Präsident Lincoln erschossen wurde, als er an diesem Abend ein Stück besuchte.
Die Tour endet auf der anderen Straßenseite im Petersen House, der Pension, in der Lincoln nach der Erschießung getragen wurde und in der er am frühen Morgen des 15. April 1865 starb. Ein Besuch von ca. 20-30 Minuten bietet einen bewegenden Blick in den Raum, in dem der Präsident seine letzten Stunden verbrachte, und bringt einen kraftvollen Abschluss dieser unvergesslichen Reise durch die Geschichte.
Besuch des Lincoln Memorial, das geschaffen wurde, um das Erbe von Präsident Abraham Lincoln zu ehren und symbolisiert seine Führungsrolle beim Erhalt der Union.

Our tour was rescheduled due to road closures for the 4th activities, so we went at 8 am instead of 10. That wasn’t an issue but I was disappointed that Ford’s Theater was closed for maintenance. Our guide Sally, was very informative, and gave us detailed backstory on not only Lincoln, but other landmarks we passed or stopped at. She was lively and entertaining, and very accommodating! My 35 yr old daughter and 14 yr old granddaughter said they learned a lot from her!

Dwayne is phenomenal! He has a wealth of knowledge and is a fantastic storyteller. Although we couldn't get near the white house due to road closures and Fords theater is undergoing renovations, Dewayne more than made up for it. Definitely recommend this tour!

I was misled by Viator as to the meeting place in repeated emails and discovered the correct meeting place accidentally when I clicked on a message for contacting the company. Most importantly I have learned that Ford’s Theater had been closed to tours more than 10 days before my scheduled tour and was never so advised despite repeated emails from Viator confirming the tour. This was a blatant deception by this company since the Ford’s Theater visit was the highlight of the tour. I will not use Viator again. I will say that the local guide we used for the remaining part of the tour, Dwayne, was excellent and did a commendable job in trying to make up for the disappointment of not having a complete tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding Dewayne and are pleased to hear that you found him knowledgeable, professional, and committed to providing an enjoyable experience. Our tour information, meeting instructions, and booking communications are distributed through the booking platform, and we work closely with our partners to ensure guests receive the most current information available. As with many historic attractions, access to sites such as Ford’s Theatre may occasionally be affected by operational decisions, maintenance requirements, or circumstances beyond a tour operator’s control. While we understand your disappointment regarding the availability of Ford’s Theatre, our team remained committed to delivering an informative and engaging experience highlighting the significant locations connected to this important chapter of American history. Thank you again for your feedback and for joining us.
It was a very informative excursion. Duane was extremely knowledgeable and a great host. We had a wonderful time.
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit. We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
Our driver, Dewayne, was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was great. The downside is Signature Tours description left much to be desired. First, the meeting point listed is NOT the meeting point. I really don’t know how anybody writing about this tour could get it so wrong. Plus, they were difficult to respond to questions and concerns. Also, they don’t send a text about closures. Ford Theater, the highlight, was closed for maintenance. Advice to potential customers is to talk to the operator prior to booking so you can make an informed decision.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Dewayne and found him friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Our meeting instructions are provided through the booking platform and pre-tour communications, and we continually work to ensure this information is as clear as possible for all guests. We also strive to keep travelers informed of any updates that may affect scheduled attractions. As with many historic and government-affiliated sites, temporary closures, maintenance work, and access restrictions can occasionally occur without advance notice and are outside of a tour operator’s control. When this happens, our team works to provide the best possible experience while adapting to those circumstances.
They canceled without informing me. A man called about an hour before the start of the tour and asked me if I could reschedule to tomorrow. I said no and he hung up. I had to call to find out it was. I had already arrived at the start location.
We did call you and we tolled you booked in the last minute please contact your agent we offer you to come the next day because you booked in the last minute. This is a very popular tour . Please book in advance next time
False advertisement. Supposed to go in buildings and then the guy on phone said we only stop don’t go in. Also called to tell them running 3 minutes late and he hung up on me. Don’t waste your time. Rude people.
