Private John Wilkes Booth Escape Tour in Washington DC by Luxury Car

Follow along in the footsteps of John Wilkes Booth and his accomplice, David Herold. This full-day tour begins at historic Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC, the site of US President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Discuss the moments and see the points of interest leading up to Lincoln's death.

Visit the Surratt House, where both Booth and Herold secured their ‘shooting irons’ before heading south. Explore St. Catherine, also known as the Dr. Mudd House Museum — Dr. Samuel Mudd’s home. This is where Mudd set Booth’s broken leg, which he injured while fleeing the scene at Ford’s Theatre.

Also, stop at the Pine Thicket Memorial Marker, a hiding spot from Union troops; and St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Cemetery, where Booth met Mudd six months before Lincoln’s assassination. This is also where Dr. Mudd is buried.

All transportation and entry fees, plus a deli sandwich lunch, will be provided.

Chase after John Wilkes Booth and his accomplice David Herold in a private tour of 1-6 people on this detailed 8.5-hour tour. Start at Ford's Theatre and travel the flight path with a personal guide. Visit the Surrat House, Dr. Samuel Mudd's Home, and St. Mary's Church and Graveyard to see every site Booth stopped at during his daring escape. Enjoy round-trip transportation and lunch to keep your strength up as you take your own escape path through history.
