Great Tour

Tyrone and Tata were great tour guides! They took us to all the major locations. Even though you’ll see it, you won’t get very close to the Capitol or the White House. The Lincoln memorial was the highlight because you can see the Korean memorial, Vietnam memorial also at the same place and the views of the Washington Monument are nice along with the Reflecting Pool.

Hightlight of my trip

Great Overview of DC

The weather was perfect for the ride. Our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and had a lot of fun and interesting factoids that you don't always get in the brochures. It was a great way to view as many of the monuments and buildings as possible helping us narrow down which ones we would like to go back to and explore. With so many options and not enough time, this was an awesome kicking off point to get an overview of the DC mall and see as much as possible in a condensed amount of time. Even our teenagers loved it!

I had Wayne and my guide and he was delightful. Very knowledgeable and full of additional info not necessarily related to the tour itself, but places we happened by along the way. He made it very fun and I had a great time. There is a fair amount of walking so make sure you're up on your caridio, but other than that it was a very fun tour. If ever I'm in the area again, I'd love to do another one of Wayne's tours.
