Description
Come on our thrilling, top-rated Haunted Pub Crawl tour presented by US Ghost Adventures! Join us and visit some of the most notable watering holes in the city of Washington DC, where politicians came to relax after a busy day of lawmaking. The only catch is that most of these politicians have long since departed this life. On select nights, come have a few sips of local spirits while hearing about the city's local haunted Spirits and while exploring the beautiful streets of DC. Join us on the new Spirits of DC Haunted Pub Crawl and visit the city’s historic haunts and ghostly pubs and enjoy booze and Boo's at some of its most infamous paranormal and tipsy hotspots.

Had a great time.
Dena was a great guide. Friendly and adjusted the tour to our interests.

It was ok, not very ghosty.
The guide Paul was a very nice guy. He was late to arrive and not in period costume as advertised. We had lively conversations and he was easy to talk to and friendly the stories just weren't all that spooky, but he did try. We had a fun night but when you're spending your own $ at every bar you expect a little more knowledge and stops and guidance for what we paid.

Poor communication
I was notified 1 hour before the tour was to begin that I was the only one on the tour. I canceled and did not receive a refund since it was after the 24 hour deadline. I felt that was poor communication on the company part to not let me know before the 24 hour deadline. If i would have known earlier, i would have canceled and made other plans.

Not even worth the $30
Not worth the money. This is not a haunted pub crawl, there is a story told at three locations that didn’t even correlate to the location you were at. We did not go to the locations promised. The tour guide was hard to hear and basically talked for about 5 minutes at each location before leaving us at the last location to find our way back. I’m not exactly sure why I paid $30 to be guided to three locations.
Operator response
Hi Cori, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the haunted pub crawl did not meet your expectations. It's unfortunate to hear that the locations, storytelling, and overall experience left you feeling disappointed, especially if you felt the tour did not deliver the value you expected. This is not up to our normal standards, and we understand your frustration. Please reach out to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com with your booking information so our team can review your experience and assist you directly. Thank you.

I thought it would be...
I thought it would be more walking, but thankfully it wasn’t. The stories were entertaining and it’s fun learning about the capitol through a different lens
Operator response

Fun and educational!
John was lively and delightful. Knew just when a visual would help the story and found them on his phone. He had great working relationships w the staff at all the places we went. Very fun you!
Operator response
Hi, Erika! Thanks so much for sharing! It’s great to hear John knew just how to enhance the stories and made the experience so fun. We’ll happily pass along your praise and look forward to welcoming you back again!

Fun, informative, HILARIOUS AND PERSONABLE!
John was an amazing storyteller. I came with my brother and because no one else booked, we got to have a private tour. John was incredibly knowledgeable and an entertaining host… this was by far our best DC tour. He is so kind, funny, and an excellent storyteller. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Operator response

Our goal is always to share fascinating history with just the right touch of the paranormal, and while not every night comes with a ghostly surprise, we're thrilled you had a great evening exploring with us. Come back soon!

Operator response
