Roberto_C, Jul 2026

Great Monument Tour!

Dwayne and Tonya were professional, fun, and excellent hosts. We fell safe with Tonya being as the “Tour Navigator”, and we were also impressed with the knowledge and excellent articulation to explain and transmit a plethora of knowledge to the whole group. Thank you Tonya and Dwayne!!!

Amazing experience!

We had such a wonderful experience with Nick as our tour guide! With two kids and an ever-changing itinerary based on how we were feeling, Nick was so accommodating and still had us see all of the sites we wanted to. He was also so knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend and do again!!

Travel in ease and visit the Monuments

Communication from ticket purchase to end of tour was great and responsive. Guide- Rocky and Driver Parker were knowledgeable and customer focused. We learned so much and had a great time. Highly recommend this tour. The smaller group and convertible top was comfortable and easy

Rocky was a great tour...

Rocky was a great tour guide. He kept us entertained despite being stuck in traffic because the president was coming through. He also took time to come back to our family to teach about the monuments after he already shared. My mom uses a walker so sometimes we fell behind the rest of the group.

Best Tour Ever!

Tonya and Sally were the most amazing tour guide and driver! We made it to every location on time and had plenty of time to see all the sites. This bus tour is really the best way to see all sites Washington DC has to offer with minimal walking. All sites have a great information narration by guide! Highly recommend! Great value!

Fernando was top notch guide. Definately do this tour.

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+++

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

JD_S, Jun 2026

Solid Overview

Even though we were blocked on the National Mall by the state fair, Claudia maneuvered us around the long way so we could still make it to all 3. This is definitely a tour that hits the highlights as such large museums could each afford a day on their own. However she gave us a solid overview of all three so at a future time you can go back and explore more on your own if you want or avoid one. DC is definitely a city where you need to return multiple times to see everything and this tour gives you the ability to do that on your own. Claudia was very knowledgeable and kept up on schedule for those who had arrangements afterwards

Wonderful Nighttime tour!

Smiley was an amazing tour guide! We got to see all the monuments and he told us things that we wouldn't know. You can really tell he loves his job! The monuments that we got to stop and take pictures or walk through were great. The one thing I wish this tour had was a stop at the White House.

Capitol Hill Area Tour (with Unscripted Tours)

I had a really nice time on this tour. It was a convenient and quick way to see The Supreme Court Building, Library of Congress, Shakespeare Library, and the Capitol Building all in one morning. Our guide, Evelyn, was very friendly and was well-informed on any questions anyone had about the sites we were visiting, and DC in general. I’d recommend this tour to anyone on their first visit to DC!

Our tour guide Maurice...

Our tour guide Maurice was AMAZING! I seriously can’t compliment him enough. We were only in DC for one day, so we wanted to try and hit as many spots as possible, and this tour did just that! Maurice was super engaging and super knowledgeable. I don’t know how someone can remember that much info! From hidden secrets, fun facts, and bits of history, he knew it all! I walked away with a lot of new information. I really enjoyed how he connected his real life experience into the tour! Maurice was super funny and engaging, and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting DC (and would highly, highly recommend Maurice)!
