Great for family with small children - This is a great tour for a family with multiple small children. We were able to see many sites in a small amount of time with limited walking needed. Chris was a great tour guide and we had a very good driver.

Good opportunity for overall DC highlights - Jana and Edwin were both excellent…. Coping with horrendous traffic on the day of the cherry festival celebration and trying to make sure all went well…. Don’t know if it was due to crowds and traffic but it was more than moderate walking…also too long a tour, we observed, for children under ten

DC HIGHLIGHTS - Maggie picked us up at our hotel. So glad she was our driver. She got us through the crazy traffic safely and with ease. She also shared information about the area as she drove. Joey was our tour guide who is friendly and very knowledgeable. Ours was a personal tour because only one other person showed up. So we were treated like VIPs! Very worthwhile tour!

Poor quality for the momental price - Given the price we paid $232 for two tickets you’d have expected a bit more insight . But mainly we were left to our own devices for the bulk of this “tour” and weren’t given additional information when viewing the Monuments on our own. For the price paid you expected a bit more than an explanation on the bus prior to each landmark. Most the landmarks themselves could’ve been found quite easily by taking public transport on your own. What was provided was not preparatory enough to justify a $115 a ticket . Overall you’re better off just going to the war memorials yourself and reading the information boards next to said exhibits. Our tour also finished 30 minutes ahead of schedule , overall felt a bit ripped off at the end. The bus was good quality and the guide was polite but that’s about it .
