DC night tour- a great start to our trip! - We highly recommend the Washington DC night tour with James the tour guide and Kris the bus driver. We were first timers in DC and thought the tour was a great start to our trip. We stopped at many sites and drove by many others. Our tour guide James was very informative about the sites and history of DC. It was great seeing a night view of the city!

It was ok. Would not recommend. - It was hard to see. Did not expect a van. Would have been nice if tour guide got out of the car and gave information rather than just saying go see snd be back in, 15 or 20 mins.

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.

Left at tour pickup - Ali Zohery/this tour didn’t show up & at pickup spot (Hyatt) as booked for 9/29 tour. When I called him 15 mins after7:30 pm pickup time, call went to VM. He called me 10 mins later, saying mix-up with tour guide (but he told me he was doing it himself when I booked directly with him!) & offered next day tour. This was our last day in DC, so next day would be impossible. Also, too late to arrange for another tour, as he never called me & simply left us waiting at pickup location. I learned 2 things: - never book important event on last day of trip and - don’t book with Zohery Tours!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They contacted me 10 minutes before the tour to see if I could change my tour to the following night, to which I responded no. The tour guy never showed up or contacted any of the 7 guests who waited for the tour for over 45 minutes. They sent several vague confusing texts as to what was going on and did not respond to the other guests who were texting and calling. A gentleman finally answered when I called and he let me know that he did not have a driver for our tour. I received a refund from the company but nothing to compensate for the vacation time that was lost waiting on a tour that did not exist. I recommend you use another company.

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.
