It was amazing both educational and inspiring. Sally, our narrator, had a mind blowing amount of knowledge of history. And having lived much of her life in DC , she could explain the architecture of the city. Finally, seeing the monuments lit up was such an emotional experience. Great job everyone.

Deborah_B, Oct 2026

Must do!

Declan was our guide and he was knowledgeable & a pleasure! Was a weekday and tons of people.. he led us to tunnels to bypass the long lines into the Library of Congress which was nice. The history and details of the art inside and the Thomas Jefferson personal library was amazing! I could’ve stayed for hours just looking at the art and architecture alone.

US Capitol "Big 3" Highlights with Reserved Entry

Guy_L, Oct 2026

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.

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

Rosemary_A, Oct 2026

Fabulous Tour - A "Must Do" When in DC!

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and our guide, Rob, was exceptional! The information he shared about the various historic stops we made was very educational but he made them all-the-more interesting in his manner of presentation, obviously someone who feels very dedicated to and honors the city and all it offers. He is a wonderful ambassador for the tour company! And I would be remiss in not also mentioning our driver! She was very warm and welcoming, and did a great job navigating the many busy streets in the city!

Anita_S, Oct 2026

This Tour is Worth The $$—Maurice is amazing!

I took a private tour along with my sister and my sixteen year old daughter. We had Maurice as a driver. He was fantastic!! Maurice was extremely knowledgable about the city and the museums and monuments. He was funny and engaging and personally connected to and passionate about everything he was telling us. We got a glimpse into the backstory of the city learning surprising details of which we hadn’t heard before. I would highly recommend this tour—especially with Maurice as the tour guide!! I am definitely coming back to the city again because now I know what to go and see. If you are coming from out of town and you are not sure where to begin as you explore the city—I highly recommend that you start with this type of overview because it will help you know where and how to start exploring the city on your own when it’s over.

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.
