Josh was an excellent...

Josh was an excellent guide—he did a fantastic job explaining the history of DC. He also shared great personal restaurant recommendations, which were especially helpful for visitors from out of town. This tour is a perfect way to see all the major sights if you’re short on time.

Awesome Experience!

This was an outstanding experience! Although you can get these tickets for free, they are extremely hard to get. It was well worth paying $25 to guarantee going up to the top of the monument. The company does just as advertised. The email you your tickets prior to the tour and their communication is Awesome!! Thanks for a once in a lifetime experience!

Georgetown Gastronomic Goodies

My wife and I have become "foodies" since retiirement. We look foraward to visting different locations, and sampling the local cuisine. Secret Food Tours (Washington DC) proved to be another delightful adventure, on a beautiful spring day. Cooper, our knowledgable guide, etertained and informed us about historical Georgetown tidbits. The highlight (of course), were the food samplings, as wide and diverse as the people that populate this unique suburb of DC. Kudos to Cooper, and Secret Food Tours, for providing yet another reason to continue partaking in these delicious journeys.

Great Museum Highlight Tour!

Shane was a wonderful tour guide who navigated us though wind, sleet, and snow to see the National Natural History, American History, and Air and Space Museums. We didn't have a lot of time to visit these Smithsonian's on our own, and he gave the perfect museum highlight tour. He pointed out main attractions, as well as lesser-known treasures within each museum. He was personable, spoke clearly, and shared a wealth of knowledge with us, as well as provided a great lunch recommendation for after the tour. Great experience for the time and money!

Fantastic 80th birthday excursion!

This was a great trip for our 80 year old mother. We were really impressed with our guide, Sebastian. He was very knowledgeable and so much fun and very respectful. We got to see all the things my mother who had never been to Washington wanted to see. The vehicle was easy to maneuver in and out of for the four of us. We really enjoyed Sebastian but then we knew we would when we got in the car and saw what he was listening to on the radio. This trip is a great way to get to know the layout of DC and then perhaps go back and do a few museums.

Totally worth it!

There’s some walking involved and depending on the weather it could be cold like it was tonight. George was gentleman and a scholar and chock full of information. Alisha, our bus driver, was smooth as silk. Overall, I learned a lot about our capital and the monuments we saw.

Definitely a must do!

It was fascinating to listen to all the little nuances about Lincoln’s life that I wouldn’t have learned had I not gone on this tour. It was amazing to be in the same place where one of the most pivotal events in our country’s history happened and listen to someone knowledgeable and passionate about it telling us the story.

Great way to see the monuments on a beautiful night

Fun tour in a small group. Lorenzo was friendly and knowledgeable of all the monuments and offered to take pictures of our party at each stop, which was nice. It’s very easy to see the monuments from the open car. Be aware that if your party is an odd number like ours was, you might be split up in the car. It’s OK, it’s a small enough vehicle that you can still talk and you get off to walk around several times.

Don't miss this

The monuments look so beautiful at night. A completely different experience. Our tour guide Smiley was funny and really made a point to include the kids so they paid attention and hopefully will remember some of the amazing points in history they had the amazing Smiley making it fun to learn. Highly recommend this tour. Make sure to visit the memorial wall and Arlington National Cemetary to show and hopefully learn just how many people sacrificed their life so we may live free.
