What are people saying about Washington DC

April_S, Nov 2026

Great Nighttime Monuments Tour

This tour is a really enjoyable experience. Our guide (the owner, Kenneth) was knowledgeable, personable, easy to listen to and wisely apolitical.) The van is comfortable (with places to charge your phone), but there is still a considerable amount of walking to & from many of the memorials/monuments, so wear comfortable shoes!

Fun!

Jim was a great tour guide. His jokes and stories were very entertaining. Really appreciated the heads up on what to watch out for when the tour started. And so glad we went on Halloween. The neighborhoods decorations and people in costumes, really added to the experience.

Michael_E, Oct 2026

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.

Washington DC in One Day: Guided Sightseeing Tour + Boat Cruise

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.

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.

DC: US Capitol & Library of Congress / Supreme Court Guided Tour

Raphael_S, Oct 2026

Absolutely recommend

This was my first time visiting DC. The instructions to rendezvous with the guide was simple and easy. Mark was our tour guide and he was fantastic! He briefed us before we embarked on our journey and he engaged the group in discussions. He was well organized and lead the group well. Mark kept us on schedule without feeling rushed to take in the experience and take photos. He ensured our safety and gave plenty of reminders regarding prohibited items when entering buildings. He was very articulate when sharing in-depth knowledge in history as well as local know-hows in navigating to other different sites commuting around and outside the city. By the end of his segment of the tour, he made sure that everyone had tickets to the Capitol staff-led tour. We got to look at the supreme court, learn about the history of the Capitol, see the National Statuary Hall Collection, visit the Rotunda and more.

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.
