    A Rich and Extraordinary Tour

    Patricia_O, Jan 2026
    We made the reservation for this trip knowing that my husband was only 5 weeks out from knee replacement and that it would be a challenge for any walking. We told the driver/owner this and he was more than accommodating and gracious. We simply needed to get out of our home and have mental stimulation. We are already planning a return trip with walking included. The tour was extraordinary and the owner has a broad and deep knowledge and understanding of our history, our national relics and current status of such. We had been to DC from NYC on several occasions in the past so we had piecemeal knowledge of this extraordinary city. His knowledge brought together so many aspects of our country's early beginnings, conflicts, wars and the monuments, buildings that are emblematic of those times. We even went to the Iwo Jima memorial which neither one of us had seen and were struck by its astonishing lifelike sense of movement, like the last soldier attempting to grasp the flagpole. We were both thrilled and sobered by all that our country has been through, all of the conflicts we have witnessed and look forward to having a continued emotional experience with our guide and owner once we can walk safely. This was a remarkable few hours for us with this knowledgeable guide who also provided asidesstories not usually found in guide books. Thank you -- we have been restored and look forward to being with you again.

    We really enjoyed our tour of Washington DC. Fisseha was an awesome tour guide. He took us to all the monuments and waited for us to take pictures and to look at everything. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide.

    Monuments with kids and seniors

    Alicia_Y, Mar 2025
    Fisseha was a phenomenal guide for our 4 hour tour of the monuments! We were a family (of 7) that had teens/tween, 2 adults as well as 2 seniors. He knew his way around town, he was very knowledgeable of the history of each site we saw, he knew how to get us as close as possible to the monuments and his van was extremely clean. He even had bottles of water for us! We cannot say enough good about this experience! There is absolutely NO WAY we could have seen as much as we did if we had taken the metro and walked or tried to drive our own vehicle and attempted all this on our own. Thank you Fisseha for a wonderful experience!

    Our guide, Fisseha G. was very personable and informative. We really learned a lot as we visited the beautiful monuments on our tour in Washington DC (August 2024).

    Fun for the whole family

    Priscila_Q, Jun 2024
    Fisseha was very punctual and courteous and knowledgeable about DC. Our guide was patient and told us exactly what to do even with the road closures On a Sunday while the city prepared for the Fourth of July . We had an amazing time in our first Washington DC visit to the monuments. We had my elderly parents along with my teenager children and everything went absolutely great.

    Fantastic half day tour with an amazing tour guide

    Christopher_N, Mar 2024
    Our tour guide Fisseha really made this tour special for us. He listened so well to the wants and needs we had, and accommodated them beautifully. My wife had hoped to see the Jefferson Memorial, and while the road was closed due to all the tourists seeing the cherry blossoms, he got us as close as possible and did it first thing to give us the best opportunity. He made up the time we would have used at the Jefferson memorial, by taking us to the Korean War and Pentagon memorials. He handled all of the traffic wonderfully and was very clear on where we could find him after leaving the vehicle. He stayed in touch by phone if we were staying a bit longer at a particular sight. We saw all of the top sights we were hoping to see. We only wish we had more time touring with this amazing tour guide. We would highly recommend this tour to all!

    Yvonne_P, Mar 2023
    Fisseha the driver was very friendly and helpful, he made sure we got on the train safely. . If you are new to DC this is an okay tour especially if you are short on time. For the price we paid I would have expected a bit more story about the history of the city, but it was fine.

    Amazing Tour!
