What are people saying about Washington DC

Ann_L, Apr 2026

What a great experience!

We were only in town for a day and wanted to see as much as we could. This was a great experience for everyone in our group. We had an elderly person and children in our group. Everyone enjoyed this tour. We learned a lot and got some awesome photos. There was also a lot going on in the city like a parade and festivals. Several roads were closed down. Our tour guide did great on a whim, making sure we got to see everything even with all of the road closures. He was also apologetic for taking a bit longer to get to some places with the road closures. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about everything in the area, giving us fun facts and historical information. He even made recommendations for other places to visit, places to eat, and the best ways to travel through the city. We had a great time and if I come back I would do this tour again. Very happy with our experience.

DC Monuments & Capitol Hill Highlights Tour by Electric Cart

Heather_J, Apr 2026

really fun tour - good for quick trip

This was a great tour of DC if you have a short amount of time! We saw a ton of monuments and our tour guide (italian guy) was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was me and a family of 5 and I felt a part of the group. It would have been nice to have a quick stop at the capital for a photo. It was also really chilly that morning (early April) - so the ride was cold. might be nice to have blankets for those rides - its not like we could pack one if we're in from out of town. but all in all - we had a nice time, learned a lot and saw everything!

Kim_L, Apr 2026

Excellent Washington DC highlights

The tour guide/driver Tyrone and Chris did a fantastic job helping us! We were late, confused, and not sure how to join the tour due to our uber dropping us far away. They called, texted, and helped us meet them at the Capitol- great communication! From there, the tour moved quickly and we visited many important landmarks. Tyrone was funny, informative, and told great stories about his experiences that kept us intrigued. He was very clear about amounts of time, meetup points, and exactly what we had to do along the way. We 1000% recommend this tour!

Great Experience

This was a great tour to experience many of Washington DC sites. Tonya and Sally were great! We were here for just a short time and this tour allowed us to see so much of the city and the sites. We included the boat tour which was okay but not really necessary. I would definately recommend this tour.

Great value great experience

This was a great experience and well worth the price. To see all the monuments , capital, etc would take all day if you were walking and you would be exhausted if you have young children and or seniors - this is the way to go Amin, our driver and guide was lovely , very accommodating, informative, kind and helpful. Lots of room for the 6 of us. 2 adults , 2 seniors , 2 children 11,9. Thoroughly enjoyed - had lots of time for pictures Thanks Amin

Informational

Good tour. James was very knowledgeable. The tour starts in front of the Library of Congress, then into the Capitol Building, short video, a Capital guide walks you through, James met us, showed us a bit more then took the tunnel to the Library of Congress. Easy way to see and learn about both of these sites.

Washington DC in One Day: Guided Sightseeing Tour

Tina_K, Mar 2026

A Day with Brittany & Cortez

My family and I booked this tour for last week and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! All of us would highly recommend, especially for those from out of state and don't know where to start. Brittany and Cortez were absolutely incredible during this experience. I cannot recommend both of them enough! Brittany was extremely knowledgeable, charismatic, and hilarious. I learned quite a bit about DC that I did not know before AND I had a great time doing it. As someone who had never been to DC before, this tour allowed me to hit the highlights and feel like I had truly experienced this beautiful city. (There was also ample time at each location to both explore and buy souvenirs for those interested!) Another bonus was the bus! I had actually twisted and/or sprained my ankle the day before the tour, so I was having some difficulty walking around. Had I not been able to experience DC in this way, I would have had trouble moving around and finding everything. Although there is still a decent amount of walking, this tour provides targeted locations/monuments and gives respite between all of the major ones for those who cannot walk quite as much for any reason. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't say I truly appreciated them as people. Traffic from our hotel was not great that morning, but Brittany and Cortez were willing to wait for my family and I. They definitely could have left and it would have been our fault, but their understanding of the situation made them stand out even more as quality humans. Worth every penny in my opinion!

Washington DC Monuments and Memorials Night Tour

Christina_A, Mar 2026

Best Night

The amount of information given, the time at each location, and the tour driver himself were great! The tour size was a nice size that allowed for us to spend more time at our stops because the amount of time spent in getting back on the bus was quicker. The monuments included were all the ones I wanted to see and the monuments at night will be in my mind for a long time. Ken thank you for a great tour!

Washington DC "See the City" Guided Sightseeing Segway Tour

Joseph_H, Sep 2025

DC Segway Monuments Tour

Riding the Segway was as much fun as seeing the monuments along this tour. If you want to spend quality time at each monument, this isn't the best option. But if you want to see a lot, learn a lot, and have a blast in the process, this is hard to beat. Our guide Alex was super funny, and learning how to ride a Segway takes all of 2 minutes.
