Dr. Ali was a great guide... - Dr. Ali was a great guide and knew so much about the city. Hands down one of the best guides we’ve had in any city.

The night tour with Bobby - Bobby was very knowledgeable about the history and had the best sense of humor! I definitely recommend this tour!

Nice overview of the city at night. - It was pretty much just driving around because of all the road closures it was hard to get to the monuments. The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly although he talked really fast so I didn't hear everything. When I got lost coming back from the Lincoln Memorial he was not very helpful, just told me to follow the map he sent me. Finally 2 of the other passengers came and found me. All in all I got to see the Monuments lit up which is what I wanted. I know it was very difficult this weekend.

Not for Us - Guide was very informative. A little hard to understand with his thick accent but he kept saying he didn't want to get political yet was very condescending toward Trump. We are here for the 250th celebration. Trump is our President. Whether you hate him or not you should respect the President. Now our guide was saying he was thinking about starting a Trump tour since he was trying to put his name on every building in DC. The tour from that point became so political my husband and I just wanted out of the tour. He discussed the ballroom addition and wanted to know why we needed it. One thing after another but yet say he didn't want to get political 🙄 oh please. We wanted a Monument trip and got the Negative Nancy trip. He was trying to make extra money onboard selling merchandise and promoting his book. We just wanted the tour we paid for. That's it. I gave 3 stars because he did have good memorization on the History of DC but he was divisive with his rhetoric. Would not recommend this trip if you support Conservative values.

D.C. tour - The vehicle was warm. A/c wasn’t cooling it down. On the night tour, we had to sprint to the exhibits because we only had 15 minutes. We weren’t able to get out at the Jefferson memorial and other exhibits.

Between the Mt Vernon and... - Between the Mt Vernon and the night tour the operators drop you off back at the same hotel for approximately 1.5 hours. To be continued in a crowded van for 2 hours instead of the 3-4 hours as advertised. We felt it was expensive considering the few hours actually spent on the tour.

Can’t handle the AC? Then cxl the tour. - The tour operator should have cancelled the tour and refunded the passengers altogether if they could not keep their small bus adequately air conditioned. I know this was very unusual for DV to experience such temps but if their bus couldn’t keep the passengers comfortable-then cancel it. There were many elderly ppl on the bus and busy the 3rd stop-only a few remained. Our tour was in tandem with another bus-which did not seem to have the AC problem.

Do not book this tour! - Absolutely the worst tour - no air conditioning in last 3 rows of vehicle, tour description states 730-1130pm - 15 minutes at each monument - we stopped twice -- cannot see out of the vehicle in middle seats -- tour ended at 945 - we only stopped at bathroom and Lincoln /MLK -- there were pull offs and other buses/tours stopping - but not us -- completely utter disappointment

Waste Of Time and A Lot Of Money - The tour guys were fine, but the tour company should have cancelled the night tour. I know they can’t control the weather, but they knew it was going to rain and nothing was lit up. So visibility was extremely poor. Barely nothing to see. Plus, if you want to go to Mt. Vernon, you don’t get there til 3:00, and they close at 4:00. So we just made the last tour at 3:05. Only had time to see the mansion. The entire experience was very expensive and very disappointing. Not worth it.
