What are people saying about Washington DC

Kevin_C, Jun 2026

A++++ Tour of DC. Best tour ever.

Great communication. We were never wondering where to meet, who to look for or what time. Very comfortable, clean van waiting conveniently at the Grand Hyatt that has the main metro station. Our guide was Steve. He’s a local, raised in DC at Georgetown and has been doing tours for a long time. I could tell that by the incredible amount of knowledge he has about the DC area. He answered everyone’s questions and didn’t miss a beat. He troubleshooted a road closure like only a local could. He’s smart, down to earth and very likable not to mention safety and customer satisfaction conscious. There was also a driver, whose name I didn’t catch, who works great as a team with Steve. He’ll stay with the van so anything you don’t want to lug around stays safe. He hands out as many waters as you want and makes sure you’re aware of the dangers of dehydration. They handle the van door for you, give you a hand out, and make you feel welcome and secure. It was an awesome tour and it really made our stay in DC memorable. Thank you gentlemen!

We had a beautiful day...

We had a beautiful day for our trip from Washington, DC to Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns. The scenic drive along Skyline Drive was beautiful and offered stunning views, and the cavern tour was fascinating. Our guide, Galen, was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized, sharing interesting history and local information throughout the day. It was a full-day tour and even had time for a quick sandwich at Luray Cavern Cafe. It was a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of the area. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get out of the city and enjoy a memorable day in Shenandoah.

DC trip

Britany was friendly and very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. Best way to see many sites in one day. Would recommend the tour to anyone seeing DC. We did the 8 hr tour with the boat ride. Had only 45 minutes for lunch after the boat ride so pre ordering at one of the local restaurants 15 minutes prior will allow you more time.

A Great Way To See Washington DC.

We did the HOHO Bus last year and saw hardly anything. The looong waits for buses in the hot sun and then it got stuck in traffic over 30 minutes waiting for a motorcade. This year we splurged and saw everything we wanted to see. What a relief to get back into an ac’ed van after every stop. Robert was always parked at a convenient pickup place. He had ice cold water and even an umbrella when it started to rain. We will remember the perfect day where we saw everything more than the cost of the ride. We were only 3 people but for a group this is definitely the way to go. It was a big, comfortable van that could hold 8-10 people comfortably. Definitely the way to go with a group that includes little kids. We had a great day despite the heat and rain. You will too if you choose to go with the private tour.
