A worthwhile, fun and memorable tour - Me and my friend drove to Washington yesterday, June 4, unplanned. When we were at the White House, we decided to look for a tour guide, bus or van. Thats how we met The Heart of DC Tours. We were a German couple. The tourguide/driver, who happens to be tge owner, was very knowledgeable, nice, clearly explained everything. Sad that we forgot to ask his name. Anyway, thank u very much Sir for a very wonderful, worhwhile and a memorable tour. This is Emilyn from New Jersey. I will surely recommend u to my friends and family.

A Great Experience - I grew up near DC and have seen all the monuments but I’ve never experienced this city like I did with Heart of DC tours. Mr. Ken was so fun to tour with. He knew so much history but also made the experience unique and personable. Not only did I learn so much but it was fun, comfortable, clean and safe. He seems very passionate about the history of the city and sharing that knowledge and experience with others. The kinda guy whose positive attitude just rubs off on everyone he meets. Growing up, when our large extended family got together for the holidays, we always picked a day to spend time doing an activity as a large group. Whether it was tours or excursions, we are well traveled in these type of services and Heart of DC Tours is a World-Class experience. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to sightsee, spend time with friends and family, and/or experience the history of the city for an affordable adventure.

Amazing!! - Great tour guide. The smaller group is the way to go because you can ask more questions and have ample time at each site. Highly recommend!

Great DC tour! - I absolutely loved this tour! Ken, our guide, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of great insights. I went with my family and had a wonderful day exploring D.C. Even though I’ve lived in Virginia my whole life, I discovered so many amazing sites I never knew existed. Ken shared fascinating stories and history about each monument before we arrived, which made seeing them even more meaningful. During our free time, we also had the option to listen to an audio guide, which added even more depth to the experience. I learned so much and had a great time—highly recommend this tour!

The best DC Monuments and Memorials Tour in the city! - Our group had such a great time on our Monuments and Memorials Tour with Ken! The tour was both informative and enjoyable, providing great access to each of the top points of interest. The van was clean and comfortable and stocked with complimentary bottled water. When we got out of the van to explore each site, there was also a complimentary audio recording available for additional details about each memorial.
