What are people saying about Washington DC

DC Monuments Night Tour with 10+ Stops, National Mall, Tickets

Kelly_W, Oct 2026

Easy access to all the BEST monuments - James is an incredible storyteller!

This was an excellent tour that took us to multiple monuments lit up at night. These monuments and locations would have been very challenging to see on our own with a car because parking is super limited or completely nonexistent at these places. Some are close but some are far away from each other, so going on this tour was extremely beneficial. Mike and James were the best and even included an extra landmark on the tour by showing us the Pentagon and the 9/11 crash site into the building -- this was an extremely powerful moment. Would highly recommend this tour!

Best Tour Guide

Wow, we had such an amazing experience with Sebastian. We were blown away about his knowledge he shared about every detail of DC. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Very friendly, nice clean Escalade. Never did he make us feel pressured on time and he definitely went the extra mile. An experience we will never forget. Worth every penny. Thank you Sebastian!!!!

It covered lots of...

It covered lots of ground. All our entry tickets were prearranged. It was very informative. Be sure to eat before you go, no snacks or even water are allowed in these buildings. Water fountains and bathrooms were available. We thoroughly enjoyed our guides Jessie and Max.

Trish_W, Oct 2026

Best way to tour DC!!

This was a fun, unique way to tour DC and have a private experience without the congestion of many people on a larger bus. These vintage cars are so neat and they’re covered so you’re not in direct sunlight. We saw everything we could imagine and our tour guide did a great job of giving us time to get out and take photos as well! He even took photos of us by our request!

Washington DC Monuments Tour by Electric Cart Day and Night

Kelli_V, Oct 2026

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!

US Capitol "Big 3" Highlights with Reserved Entry

Lily_R, Oct 2026

Hightlight of my trip

The tour was great. I would definitely recommend. Both the Capitol building and the Library of Congress are beautiful and full of history. Evelyn, the guide, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was great to get a guided walk around the both buildings and learn the stories that you would've missed on your own.

DC in a Day: 10+ Monuments, Boat Cruise, National Mall, Tickets

John_R, Oct 2026

Well Worth The Price of Admission

I feel as though we lucked out in many respects. It was uncommonly beautiful weather on September 29th. We arrived on time, the tour started on time. We were surprised at how efficiently the tour was conducted - no wasting of time, but no rushing. Our host, Sally, was amazing, funny, knew more about Washington, DC history than anyone we've ever heard, and she worked with with the driver, Godfrey. If possible, try to get a tour with them. No negatives, but the 45 minute boat ride, while offering a different perspective from the Potomac River, was almost unnecessary. By the time we boarded the boat (around 3 pm), most everyone was tiring (late lunch may have contributed to that as well).

Ghosts of Georgetown & The Exorcist Steps Walking Tour

Nolan_B, Sept 2026

I had Wayne and my guide...

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.

Review of tour and guide

I was the only one traveling today in my tour. It was rainy, windy and cold, but Feyez - my guide was chatting and telling me fun stories and made the day really fun!! He shared a lot of stories and also offered to take photos for me. It was a fun trip! I recommend him highly.
