Great tour hits all major spots - Great tour of all the big spots. James the tour guide was full of history and gave an excellent tour. Chris the driver was always where we needed him to be and was very safe. Water on board for guests. Not much time at each location but James providing so much history and information gives you the best experience. The city is beautiful at night. Worth the investment.

Excellent Guide - Our tour guide was amazing. Her knowledge of the history behind the monuments and Washington itself was far beyond what I’ve experienced on other tours.

Highlight of our trip! Great tour! - Sally was an amazing tour guide! This tour was the highlight of our trip! It made it so easy to see all of the monuments and the war memorials are very moving at night time. We loved it. Our kids (ages 15 and 12) really enjoyed the narration and her ability to bring history to life!

Don't upgrade to add events - First, the actual trip is great. James was awesome. No complaints about any of that. BUT this company is a rip off. I made a mistake and reserved my trip on the wrong weekend. My mistake, but when I asked them to simply transfer my funds to the correct, following Sunday, they said no. Still, I rebooked again. When I told them this, still, nothing. Ok, whatever. But what is really sad is they charge you an extra 20+ for tickets to the Air and Space museum and I found out you get them for free on line. Shameful.

Bad Tour - don't book this tour. to much walking in the dark, little time spent at site. The James was a little bit too much about himself and useless facts. Actually reminded me of the Pied piper storyline. really suprised we walked so much in the dark, as far as the Vietnam memorial and Korean war moment, complete joke. Chris [ our driver ] on the other hand, was very courteous and kind. we were not the only one's who just stop and waited at the bus. your response to this would be welcomed.
