What are people saying about Washington DC

Karen_S, Aug 2026

Relaxing escape exceeded expectations

Ask for driver Lawrence D, a 4th generation DC resident who taught history in a local middle school. His insights were informative, and humorous. I’ve been traveling to DC for decades and thought I knew the city, yet he took us to a hidden waterfront park loved by locals that was new to me. Traveling with a friend on crutches, Lawrence checked in on us at every stop to make sure my friend was safe, secure, and comfortable. Sharing a smaller open air electric vehicle with a few other visitors was a relaxing escape that exceeded our expectations.

Started out while it was still daylight - which was great. Allowed us to see two monument s in the daylight . . Time at each stop was great. Our tour guide gave great information in the Van and we toured alone at our pace at his set time limit., it was good.

Tonya_T, Aug 2026

Highly recommended DC tour 💯👏

The tour director was very knowledgeable- was professional quality for sure. The value of a tourist to see so many key historical places by land and water was monumental (pun intended). A definite recommend because the tour narrated using historical data but also gave key points of information with each destination/monument. He seemed to really love American history and he enthusiastically spoke about key events in our history. TOP NOTCH TOUR! :)

The Original Small-Group US Capitol Tour: Best of Capitol Hill

Dennise_N, Jul 2026

Great Day!

We had done a previous Unscripted Tours earlier in the week and were very impressed with their tours and their guides. So it was a no brainer for us to book another one. We picked the all 4 tour and met in front of the Library of Congress. We then walked to all 4 buildings throughout the little over 3 hour tour. We were given a bathroom break with a chance to grab a snack about midway through tour. Liam was a fantastic guide with a plethora of information. Liam pointed out all sorts of fun facts, led us to great shopping, hit all the highlights and then got our tickets for the Capitol tour and bid us farewell. We then went into theater at the Capitol and after that a Capitol guide (who did a fantastic job too) took us around for about 30 mins. Then, we were on our own in the Capitol to explore. You have options on your own to go back through the tunnel and go back through the Library of Congress to see more if you would like which I recommend. We had already toured it a prior day so we got timed tickets for the National Archives for the afternoon and ate lunch in the Capitol before making the 20+ minute walk there. If interested in doing that, I would allow at least 5.5 hours from your start time especially if walking it. But, if you are spoiled to Unscripted Tours amazing guides, they also do a National Archives tour, too.

Fun, thorough, comfortable even on a rainy night.

We were so delighted with our tour! Kareem was an enthusiastic tour guide with great knowledge and humor, and his trivia games engaged all passsengers on a full bus on a dark rainy night. My high school kids will never forget the experience. The bus was very comfortable, the driver handled the dark rainy night and roads nicely. 3 hours long, we felt it was a good investment for our Scouts.

Outstanding Tour!!! D.C. at night is amazing. Jared was friendly from the start, super knowledgeable and even had some D.C. Easter eggs for us. My teenage sons even loved and you know teenagers don't like alot! Jared gave us just enough time at each memorial/site to still make the 3 hr tour time out perfectly. I highly recommend this tour company and would do it again!!!

This tour was excellent...

This tour was excellent for a few reasons. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. There was plenty of time at every stop to really not only see, but also to feel the awe and respect for the soldiers who sacrificed for our freedom. The air conditioned van was a huge bonus. Steve and Edrick were extremely pleasant to spend time with. Definitely recommend this tour!!

Great experience,...

Great experience, incredibly informative. No way we could have seen as much as we did or learned/heard as much as we did without the tour. Our guide Dwayne was phenomenal. He was incredibly informative and brilliant with his historical knowledge as well as fun facts. Loved that it didn’t feel like we were being read a script but actually being informed.
