Best informative tour ever. - We took a tour of all the monuments in DC and it was money well spent. James our tour guide was a treasure chest of knowledge. We were very impressed with the amount of history we learned about every monument we visited and the DC area. The seven hour went by in no time. James the tour guide along with the driver Khris were a dynamic duo. We took the day tour but would love to take the night tour with those two leading the way.
