What are people saying about Washington DC

Washington DC in One Day: Guided Sightseeing Tour + boat cruise

Carol_P, May 2026

Elvis was on the bus

We had a wonderful time with Elvis, tour guide and Leah our driver. They made us laugh and smile throughout the day. We were able to take in the memorials and monuments learning more than just their names but much history that surrounds them. My last visit to DC was more than 40 years ago and to see the newer memorials and learn about the creators, the lives they represent and the international community that was affected and also lost lives in wars and conflicts along with Americans was thought provoking and an emotional experience for me. While my family didn't lose loved ones in WWI, WWII, KOREA OR VIETNAM we had men and women who served in each and were affected by their service for the remainder of their lives. We also enjoyed a delightful boat tour and delicious lunch with a friend we made on our tour. I highly recommend the glass top tour to anyone wanting to see as much as possible in a single day.

Edward_P, May 2026

Take a chance!

Very handy if you missed the recreation.gov cutoff for scheduling a visit and don't have the availability to wait in line. The App is a bit clunky with passes and needs a way to import into wallet to present to the park rangers for admission. Vendor stayed in communication and notified us of time change due to elevator maintenance. Worth the trip.

Great time!

Driving DC can be difficult - especially when you don't know where you are going! This wonderful experience allowed our family to enjoy the monuments without the stress of trying walk miles and miles or catch the metro over and over again when we don't know which bus ends up where! We also learned a lot from Fiona, our guide. She was kind and made the experience a family friendly and fun time. We were able to see all of the sites we wanted to see. Our family would highly recommend this great experience.

The tour experience was...

The tour experience was far more than we expected. Chris was well informed on the sites we saw. He did a great job driving us through D.C. and pointing out many attractions with stories accompanying them. We were able to comfortably hop on and hop off at any or all the stops. It was a great way to determine if we wanted to revisit certain locations in the daylight.

Are You Ready for This?

What an awesome tour around DC! There’s so much to see and do! This tour hit many of the top sights in and around DC! Some sights were drive-by and too many to count were get out and check out sights! Our tour guide, Tyrone, knew his stuff! He was very interesting and engaging! Our driver, Chris, navigated the crazy DC traffic!

Last Minute Plans !!

We booked this tour only an hour and 1/2 before it was to start but had a great time and seamless experience. The tour guide was kind and friendly and very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information as he drove us around Washington DC. The weather was perfect as well and although we know that was just luck, I have no problem giving that credit to our tour guide,Viator and ofc Mother Nature in making this last minute decision a good one for myself, my husband and my in-laws

Geneva C

The tour guide was very informative and you can ask questions during the tour. I sat on the right of the bus which allows you to get better views of the monuments while passing by. If you go alone like I did plan your Uber ahead so you don’t have to wait in the dark alone. Overall great experience and seeing the monuments at night was breathtakingly beautiful!

Washington DC Monuments by Moonlight Tour by Trolley

Carl_M, May 2026

Great Tour! Ask for Smiley as tour guide!

5 stars. We had a great experience on the Washington DC Monuments by Moonlight Tour. Our guide, Smiley, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of DC, the monuments, and the surrounding landmarks, but what really stood out was how friendly and engaging he was throughout the entire tour. He kept the group entertained while still providing a lot of interesting historical information. The nighttime views of the monuments were incredible, and the trolley made it easy and comfortable for our family to see a lot in one evening. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Smiley as your guide, you are in good hands.

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

Jeff_C, May 2026

Unscripted Big 3

There is quite a bit of walking, and honestly, 3 hours is (as our guide Meg mentioned at the start) not enough time to truly explore any of the three museums, more of a highlight to some of the most commonly talked about artifacts. I would like to spend an entire vacation on nothing but the museums in the future. Meg was great, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to walk and talk with. She made the most of the time we had allotted.

It was a very fun trip,...

It was a very fun trip, and we enjoyed the lights at night! Our guide, Elvis and Sylvia the bus driver was amazing! We picked up some interesting facts along the way. FYI, the trip was nonrefundable, and we had an illness in our group last minute. A slim possibility of a partial refund.
