Highly Recommend! - Really enjoyable & nicely paced tour. Daniel our guide was really informative and was engaging and haply to answer any questions. Id really recommend for anyone visiting Washington for the first time as the tour provided lots of historical information and helped us to get the layout of the area and set us up for the next few days of our stay.

Best Tour guide for the White House, National mall and memorials in DC. - Very knowledgeable guide , Daniel, who has been in DC since the 60’s and made the tour the best we have ever had in any City. He knows every detail and history of the White house,the National Mall and all the various memorials along the route. We have decided to ask fir Daniel, if possible for our next tour when we visit the City.

My Trip to Washington DC white house tour - The best is to prepare adequately depending on the time of the year because sometimes it gets too cold and makes the your so uncomfortable

It's essential to see her. If you do the whole Mall, though, it's tired. From the capitol 13 km. - It was closed because of the president's decisions, but it's worth it. He has no more appeal than taking his pictures. It's in a place with many restaurants. You can go shopping. There are all prices.

Buildings are worth the walk, but need more enthusiastic tour guides - Guide spoke more about himself and repeated himself constantly. It could have been a lot more fun and interesting. He reminded me of a teacher at school and I zoned out after so long. Disappointing as wasn’t cheap

Do not recommend!!! The tour guide did not show up and Viator doesn’t want to refund us. - Don’t waste your money. Viator subcontracted LetzGo City Tours USA for this experience and they proved not to be a reliable company. The tour guide did not show up and now we are in the middle of a dispute because Viator does not want to refund us or even apologize for the inconvenience caused to us. We have used Viator in the past and had good experience with them, but not this time. We’re not intending to use them again.
