Great tour! - Our driver, Tony, and our guide, Joey, were awesome. We learned even more about DC on this trip. Joey told us about the Clock Tower and The White House Visitor Center and we went to both the next day which was worth the trip. This was our teenage grandchild’s first trip to DC and he also enjoyed the tour. We chose an open top bus and we had about 12 people in our group and even though the temperature was well into the 90’s, everyone was kind, cooperative, no complaining, and Tony and Joey made sure we had plenty of cold water bottles. We saw everything listed on the itinerary and the boat ride was also a fun experience with great info. Yes, we would recommend this tour!

Highly exceeded expectations! - Evan and Leah were absolutely amazing! They were enthusiastic, friendly, and very knowledgeable and interactive. They also made it personalized and made sure each person saw specific sights/details they wanted to see. The tour itself was incredible! They hit all the highlights and made good time doing so, and the boat ride was a wonderful break in the middle of the day (plus there was a bar on board with drinks/snacks!) Highly highly recommend!

Would definitely recommend - Our tour was a lot of fun. Took my 11 year old son and we both learned a lot. Nick, our guide, had some great "Dad" jokes that kept my son engaged. We were able to see many things on the trip and the open air bus was a great choice. There were 7 people on our tour and it felt like a private tour as all our questions were answered. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks Nick and Leah - Our family had a wonderful time with Nick our guide and Leah our driver. Nick knew his stuff and had plenty of fun, “dad jokes.” Nick and Leah also showed great patience helping my special needs daughter throughout the day. We loved the pick up location, the break the boat ride provided, and the time spent at each of the stops was just right. Tour also had nice touches like ice water on the bus and complimentary ponchos when it rained. In addition you didn’t have to carry your bag around all day, you were able to leave it on the bus as you walked around each location. Thanks again for a wonderful day!!

So-so experience, not our thing - Not good time management... couldn't have a "sit down" lunch in Georgetown as advertised. Guide told us to "just get a sandwich or something and take it with us". I didn't pay over a $100 per ticket to eat a sandwich in my lap while a guide talked to much and we saw too little.
