What are people saying about Washington DC

DC Monuments Night Tour with 10+ Stops, Cherry Blossoms, Tickets

Michael_P, Apr 2026

Until the dust settles

Great Tour Our Guides/drivers name was Dwayne and he absolutely loves history, DC, and his job. Mix all that together and you get the best most knowledgeable guide in town. He was asked a question about a horse named Cincinnati and didn’t have an answer, but by the end of the tour he did. He took the time to research (not google research) and get facts while we all were walking around before giving information on it. 100% I can’t say enough about Dwayne. Parking- best place to park was the parking garage across the street from the meet up spot. Things are always changing in DC so the guides like to wait until the dust settles to get all the facts before giving information on any currently going on. I absolutely loved this approach.

Arlington National Cemetery Walking Tour & Changing of the Guards

Jill_S, Apr 2026

Deeply meaningful

What an amazing experience we had. We are veterans and loved the reverence at the changing of the guard ceremony, beautifully done. Our guide Reid was also a veteran. His stories were rich with history. He made the tour a highlight of our stay. Highly recommend

Well worth everything to take this tour.

Was so much more than I expected. Our guide was Rae, and she was so good. I would recommend her by name. This tour was comfortable, informative, and we hit SO MANY places that are the must sees on the mall. Can not recommend this enough. We started right on time 7 and finished around 10:30.

Smithsonian "Big 3" Highlights Tour (Air & Space Entry Included)

Dylan_Y, Mar 2026

A great tour to get around the museums.

Wonderful guide Skye was friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about the area and of course the museums were a blast. It’s a walkabout so wear the right type of shoes and clothing as you go from place to place. You get to see all sorts of different buildings and architecture which is amazing and what agency’s offices are in . It’s a little fast paced but depending what time you go, the mid morning is a better time I think, you can backtrack to the other museums after the last one and spend as much time until closing to experience all it has to offer.

Washington DC Monuments by Night: Electric Cart Tour

Heather_R, Mar 2026

Amazing experience!

Do it!!!! I was with someone who had never been to DC before and this was the perfect way for them to get in all of the major monuments. Also, even if you’ve seen them before, seeing them at night is completely different and so worth it in addition to the knowledgeable guide who will give you fun and interesting facts throughout the tour. We had Joel, and he was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things. Highly recommend!!!
