Great way to see a lot - Tyrone was a great guide who had a lot of city fun facts that I didn’t know before. Great number of monuments seen and there was a good amount of time given to wander.

A Definite Must-Do Tour - Great experience. We ran late but our guide Ty and driver Chris were nice enough to wait for 5 min. The tour was fun, informative, with just enough facts and free time to explore on our own. Would highly recommend doing a Signature tour early during your visit to Wash DC. Thx again Ty and Chris😉

Great tour - worth the money. - Excellent tour. I was able to see more in DC and understand some very important nuances at each stop that I would have missed if I had done this on my own. There is a good amount of walking even though the tour drove us to each location. The tour took 3 hours not 2, so be prepared and flexible with your time. Transportation was in a 15 passenger van which was spacious and comfortable however the door malfunctioned frequently. Our tour guide was knowledgeable but NEVER political which I appreciated.

In the web page it said... - In the web page it said it was included complimentary hotel pick up. Once I paid, the receipt said hotel pickup was not included. I chat with Jansen and assured me it was included, but later 2 more agents said it was excluded. That it is not trustful. The guide instead of giving historic important details, made a lot funnyless "jokes". Not nice.

Disorganized and not what we paid for. - Tour guide left my family and two other families at the Lincoln Memorial. Did not answer his phone. Got my time admission tickets for another museum museum right before the actual time so couldn't use them. Highly not recommended.

Viator customer service - non-existent - The tour and experience were great. Loved the tour guide. However, Viator customer service is nonexistent. I reached out on two occasions for a request and question regarding payment and didn’t even hear a response back.
