The tour was a great way... - The tour was a great way to cover lots more ground in Washington DC. We were able to see so much more than we could have on our own. I would definitely recommend this tour and kind of wish we would have signed up for a longer one.

Joe made a great guide! - We didn’t sign up for a private tour but we’re the only ones there, so we got a private tour. Joe tailored our tour to what we wanted and gave us a lot of information and tips along the way. He was great!
