Excellent tour - Fascinating walking tour made all the more special by Daniel our guide who was so knowledgeable and full of tidbits that only someone who worked for JFK could know!

- Excellent and lively tour from John! I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced overview of the iconic sites of our nation’s capital. John was kind and funny and gave just the right amount of historic and factual information with a few personal anecdotes mixed in. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who either wants a basic overview of the area or is only in Washington DC for a limited amount of time. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Great experience - Wear your walking shoes for an amazing tour of these legendary monuments! Our tour guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, and didn't let passers by crowd in our tour. He took photos for us and let people take rest breaks if needed. It was a very nice experience!

National Mall Tour - Wayne was a fantastic tour guide. He answered every question and knew so much information. He clearly knows his stuff. I appreciate that he took the heat into account and made a couple of extra water breaks.

Trip - To make sure you leave a hour or earlier than your scheduled time to get there traffic is bad. But the tour was educational

Horrible white house experience - The worst experience ever. A waste of money spent. The tour guide was nice but however she didn't speak fluently English. It was hard to understand and we were unable to hear her. My daughter and I learned nothing about the tour. The officer's closed down the park 3 minutes after we got there to see the white house. We were unable to take pictures. We were a group less than 12 people and had trouble hearing her speak . This was a disappointment to my 9 year old daughter she kept asking me questions about the history and I wasn't able to explain to her. I had no clue what was going on . I suggest a 🎤 microphone when touring a group of people next time. Not to discriminate but somebody who speaks loud and fluently English would have been helpful. This was beyond expectation. My daughter and I traveled 6hrs to Washington and this was her first experience and it was horrible.

Very disappointed - I wanted to inform them that I will be late for 2 minutes due to traffic but no one is answering from customer service so I was charge without utilizing my purchase tickets

The tour started 20+... - The tour started 20+ minutes late and the speaker was soft spoken, with a thick accent, making it hard to hear and understand the information while walking through noisy downtown streets. The waking pace was very very slow and we had only made it to the White House 45 minutes after the tour was to start. Had to leave the tour and go our own way in order to make our time within the expected 2.5 hour time frame.
