What are people saying about Washington DC

Mark_S, Oct 2026

Good tour

Great tour! Our driver Calvin could be doing stand up comedy somewhere. He was a very cautious driver and had to maneuver a few unexpected road closures because of dignitary movements. Our guide Dion was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was well timed. Plus the communications before the tour was excellent as well. I recommend this tour if you want to see the highlights in a day.

An awesome night!

The night tour was simply amazing. Our guides, Sally and Godfrey, were incredible. They not only knew their stuff, but also accommodated us in many special ways. I am a person with special needs and they made me feel welcomed and not a hinderance to the tour experience. The weather was great, but the tour was better.

Lauren_F, Oct 2026

Book now!!!!

This is a must do tour! This was a first trip to DC as a family and there is no way we could have done all we did without this tour. Tyrone was our exceptional tour guide and Chris was our personable Driver! Tyrone engaged with our children and showed genuine interest in having conversations with the different guest. He was full of knowledge and his sense of humor was appreciated. There are many tours to choose in DC, but you will NOT REGRET booking this one. We booked the off season 5hr tour and if we ever return I would consider booking the tour w/boat ride during warmer months. Thank you Tyrone and Chris!

Really fun tour with great Monument views

We absolutely loved our Monument tour with Intrepid! The old Ford replica car was really cute and comfortable for the whole family. Our guide Cortland was really knowledgeable and informative and we learned so much from him. He did an excellent job. We saw all the Monuments and even got time to walk up to some of them. Overall 10 stars on this awesome tour.

Ghosts of Georgetown & The Exorcist Steps Walking Tour

Kellie_K, Oct 2026

What a great evening for...

What a great evening for a stroll through historic Georgetown and a ghost tour! Scott was a great narrator! It was hard to hear him at times due to air traffic overhead and he did his best to pause. Scott was also a wonderful tourism ambassador for the community and made a point to know where we were from and engage us in the stories. Thanks Scott for being a great first point of contact in Georgetown! We are looking forward to exploring more of the area.

Jacqueline_K, Oct 2026

Simple and easy way to explore

Took you to all the top spots and we got out for pictures!! Able to get a lay of the land to explore anything else we wanted to after that. Great excursion for your first day in DC. Great for low mobility people since not a lot of walking. Having to get into and out of the car is tight if your issues are balance but I think most people can do it that too! We loved our guide, Joe! Easy to talk to and friendly. Went slow so we can take all the sights in.

Supreme Court and Congress Tour

Our guide Dash was great. He was knowledgeable, as well as funny, and made the tour quite entertaining. We were told we couldn't go up to the great hall in the Supreme Court because they were doing something that day but we still learned a lot from Dash. The tour continued as we headed over to Congress where we learned a little more before we were handed over to one of the congressional tour guides who was also very good. Overall we had a great time, learned quite a bit and would definitely recommend it.
