What are people saying about Washington DC

Ashton_W, May 2026

Awesome Tour for My 1st Time in D.C.

*BUDDY BUDDY! * 😂 This tour was exactly what I was looking for! I flew into Baltimore from Atlanta for work and decided to take an extra day visit D.C., as I’ve never been! So, trying to find a tour to really see a LOT of the city and main spots was very important to me! Nick was incredibly knowledgeable of the city he was born and raised in and you could tell how much he truly prided himself. He was the KING of dad jokes!! It felt like a 6 hour comedy/trivia tour! My face hurt from smiling and laughing all day! He was offering to take pictures of whoever wanted one. As someone who was traveling solo, this was great! Selfies only go so far! Definitely take his advice on places to eat or museums to visit. I decided to go the Archives Library after our tour and was so cool to see with your own eyes! (Gift shop was great!) I also had dinner at the oldest bar in D.C. called Old Ebbitt Grill. I ordered the oysters and crabcake! delish!!! Nick and Cortez were an amazing team and couldn’t recommend them more!!

Must do sightseeing tour!!!

Amazing sightseeing and learning experience. Zuma (our driver) navigated us safely and confidently through the city. Tyrone (our tour guide) was so knowledgeable and informative! He also had funny anecdotes and stories and made the traveling between sites so pleasant and fun! Seeing the monuments at night was spectacular and I’m so glad we decided to do this tour. Absolutely one of the best experiences of our trip to DC and I highly recommend DC Signature Tours. Oh, and our bus was brand new and very clean and comfortable! Again just an outstanding experience! A definite must do for all ages!

May Day Night Tour.

Amanda was our tour guide. She was very personable and detailed in providing us information along our route. She joined us on our stops explaining more information about the specific monument we were at. She even helped us take group photos at the different stops. Highly recommend this small personal tour. We enjoyed it very much and well worth it! Would recommend bringing a wind jacket and hat as the vehicle is open and it was windy.

Cathy_B, May 2026

Great tour

Take the upgrade of the tour monuments by moonlight. We had a much smaller group; we were in a glass top van with 12 others (vs 45-60 other passengers); a dedicated tour guide and a dedicated driver. Our guide, George provided excellent descriptions of the monuments and the area. Our tour was not just a bus ride...we got off with the guide; walked to the monuments and up many steps (or elevator if needed): receiving commentary all the way. In summary, buy the upgrade!

My husband and I attended...

My husband and I attended the Ghosts of Georgetown tour, and had a fabulous time. Wayne was our guide, and he was informative, personable, kind, and funny. The tour was mixed with ghost stories and history, which was a perfect blend along with the sightseeing. I would recommend this tour, and Wayne as a guide to anyone interested in a spooky good time! ☺️

Perfect to learn and see so much in short amount of time

With only having 2 days in the city this was perfect way to see so much of it in a small amount of time! We loved the open air trolley for this tour, it was such a beautiful way to see DC. This is a no brainer if you are here for a short amount of this OR if you just wanted to know more about the history of DC! Smiley was our tour guide and he was just the best. So knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. He really took our experience to the next level. He felt like a friend we were visiting who wanted us to truly see the city he loves and have the best experience possible. Thank you Smiley!

Haunted DC Night-Time Walking Tour on Capitol Hill

Deandra_B, Nov 2025

Fun Capitol History

We live in DC, but decided to book this tour to learn some fun DC history. Our tour guide, the famous frontiersman, Davy Crockett, took us on an entertaining journey through history as we walked the Capitol grounds and nearby buildings. Having worked on the Hill, I’d heard bits and pieces of some of these stories, so it was great to have everything pieced together and shared in such a fun way!

Fun tour and learned a lot too!

Kyle was very knowledgeable and personable and we enjoyed learning from him. He gave us a lot of history about DC in the area that we were unaware of, which was really cool! Also, it was awesome that fire tour let us move our walking tour to the following day when it was raining pretty hard on the original day of our planned tour. I always appreciate companies working with us to make sure it’s a good experience for all.
