    Fernando was top notch guide. Definately do this tour.

    Carol_I, Jun 2026
    Definitely do this especially if it is your first or second visti to DC. Fernando was our guide and he was very informative and had a good sense of humor. We got lost getting to the meet up due to gps issues but Fernando made sure we were not left behind and many thanks for that. So definately do this tour AAA+++

    Joann_L, Jun 2026
    The monuments were stunning. Traffic was terrible and we did not make all stops/drive by itinerary. The tour ended 30 minutes before scheduled time.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you found the monuments stunning. After reviewing your tour, we found that the tour actually started approximately 20 minutes earlier than the scheduled start time, which affected the overall tour duration. Unfortunately, traffic and unexpected road conditions in Washington, DC can sometimes impact the itinerary and prevent us from visiting every planned stop. We always do our best to show as many monuments and memorials as possible while ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our tours.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so happy to hear Scott made your experience enjoyable with his knowledge, calm personality, and attention to detail. Exploring Washington DC by golf cart is definitely a fun and comfortable way to see more without all the walking. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Scott.

    Fun with family, friends and Fernando our guide as he made all stops interesting and everyone was able to ask questions.

    Sandy_S, Jun 2026
    Great way to see the city. Informative and comfortable. Easy to hop on and off to see the sites of DC.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much, Sandy! I’m really glad you had such a fun time with family and friends. Fernando has a great way of making each stop interesting, and I’m happy everyone felt comfortable asking questions along the way. And I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Washington DC by electric cart — easy to hop on and off, comfortable, and a fun way to see the monuments and National Mall without all the walking 😊

    Fun tour!

    Holly_S, Jun 2026
    Fernando was a wonderful tour guide. I’ve done several DC monument tours, but I learned several new things from Fernando. The electric cart made it easier to see things and much more fun!

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much! I’m really glad Fernando made the experience such a great one for you. Hearing that you still learned new things — especially after doing other Washington DC monument tours — really means a lot. I’m happy the electric cart made it easier and more fun to explore the city too. We really appreciate you choosing our small-group Washington DC monuments tour and spending part of your trip with us!

    2 hours of hope that all is right in the world.

    Jonathan_D, Jun 2026
    Hands down, best tour to take when you are crunched for time. Fernando was so passionate; presented the city with so much detail and passion. His love for this city really shines through.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Wow — thank you so much for this! I’m really glad we could help you make the most of your time in DC. That’s exactly what we aim for with our small-group Washington DC monuments tour — seeing a lot in a short time without feeling rushed. Fernando truly loves this city, and I’m happy his passion and knowledge made the experience so memorable for you. We really appreciate you choosing us for your DC visit!

    Great tour, highly recommend!

    Our tour guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and funny. We had a great time! Seeing the monuments at night is a must do!

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you so much! I’m really glad you had a great time and enjoyed the tour. Our goal is to make our small-group Washington DC monuments tour both fun and informative, so hearing this means a lot. Seeing the DC monuments at night really is a completely different experience, and I’m so happy you got to enjoy that. Thank you again for choosing our tour and for the recommendation!

    Fun and friendly

    We were there during some drizzly rain so looked for something enclosed. Had a great experience. Plenty of time at each stop and convenient meeting location.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Avoid This Tour

    Carl_M, May 2026
    1 star. The driver immediately claimed he could not access the area around the Capitol because of a parade that was supposedly blocking access. After my family and I had already done a considerable amount of walking and used the Metro system to get there, the tour was quickly canceled. What made the situation even more frustrating was that we observed regular vehicles and several other electric cart tours accessing the same areas throughout the entire evening without any issue. We ultimately booked another tour that same night, and they were able to access every location on the itinerary without any problems whatsoever. This experience wasted our time, caused unnecessary inconvenience for my family, and absolutely deserves a refund.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this caused to you and your family. Unfortunately, during your scheduled tour, our guide became stuck due to an unexpected road closure and heavy congestion near the Capitol area. There was no advance notice provided, and roads were suddenly blocked because of parade-related activity, making it impossible to safely continue the route as planned. Please understand that temporary road closures in Washington, DC can change unexpectedly and sometimes affect access differently depending on timing, traffic flow, and vehicle location.In fact, we did not experience any issues with our following tour that same evening. The sudden closure and traffic disruption happened specifically during your tour time, which unfortunately made the situation very different from later departures. We understand your frustration and you have already received a full refund. Again, we truly apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and your family.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for sharing this— We really appreciate it. Night tours have a completely different feel, so I’m really glad your guide was able to point things out clearly and make sure you didn’t miss anything. That balance of seeing a lot while still having time to enjoy each stop is something we focus on. DC at night is hard to beat, especially with the monuments all lit up. Glad you got to experience it that way. Thanks again for coming out with us—we’d love to have you back anytime.
