Tour of DC - My family and I are were 1st time visitors to DC and this day tour was perfect. Starting off at Arlington Cemetery walking tour, followed up with a fun bus tour, lunch at the Georgetown Harbor and then the afternoon was capped off with a boat ride of the Potomac. It was the best thing to do to see as much as you can in a short period of time. Our tour guide Tyrone "Ty" was amazing and our bus driver Chris did an amazing job navigating through traffic. Great time and a huge impact on our family.

Great highlights of DC! - We began at Arlington National Cemetery for a walking tour. Note that the cemetery is hilly and while the guide tried to pace us, it was difficult for some people with mobility issues. That being said, walking the beautiful grounds was emotional, as was the eternal flame at the Kennedy grave and the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Our group was lucky enough to see a wreath laying ceremony with a member of the military playing taps. Our guide Dwayne, was outstanding. The remainder of the tour was great. Our guide Sally was entertaining and shared great information, and we had time to get photos at all of the places we visited. Kudos to our driver as well, who was always there to lend a hand when needed! The boat ride down the river was a nice way to relax and enjoy the rest of the tour.

No guide needed - The tour guide did not add much value to the tour. It was easy to follow the signs to JFKs tomb, the house on the hill, and tomb of the unknown. The guide was pleasant but did not add any additional information that wasn't already presented on the sinage and plaques.
