Our tour guide Tyrone was amazing! Our driver Chris also took very good care of us. I enjoyed the 3 hour tour and it allowed me to get up close and personal with the monuments. Learned a lot from Tyrone about the historical facts and meanings behind all of the monuments. My husband and I enjoyed it so much.

Tyrone and Chris were awesome. My sister and I both have mobility issues and the guys were great. The tour was nice even though we were caught in a sudden downpour. I would recommend it highly.

      This was such a wonderful experience! This is the only way to see DC, you get off and on the bus and are taken to the most popular monuments and landmarks. Sally was so knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Tanya was a great bus driver and was able to manipulate small situations finding us the best stop to get off and on the bus. You will have made so many memories by the end of the day.

      Lanette_B, May 2026
      The tour guide was very mean to me and yelled at me. He wouldn't give me my money back. I was very scared for my life. He yelled at me on the phone. This was a very scary experience for me.

      Nice Tour - Guide Was Not Ideal

      David_V, Apr 2026
      It was a good tour. The guide was not great. She tried to be more funny than informative and that is just not our style. Driver was safe. We are doing a similar tour during the evening so it will interesting to compare and contrast both of them.

      Response from Host, Apr 2026

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed exploring DC. Our guides aim to balance historical insight with a bit of humor to engage a wide range of guests, though we understand preferred narration styles may differ for each individual traveler. We appreciate your perspective and hope you enjoy your evening tour as well!

      Review the attractions before you book

      Rhonda_S, Apr 2026
      The trip isn’t what it says it is because this is a cherry blossom trip and there are no cherry blossoms, and I just wanted to speak to someone about this trip and no one called , emailed or text me about this issue.

      Response from Host, Apr 2026

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. The cherry blossoms are a seasonal highlight, and while we always aim to include them when timing and conditions allow, they can vary due to peak bloom periods.

      Great Experience

      Becky_P, Apr 2026
      This was a great tour to experience many of Washington DC sites. Tonya and Sally were great! We were here for just a short time and this tour allowed us to see so much of the city and the sites. We included the boat tour which was okay but not really necessary. I would definately recommend this tour.

      Response from Host, Apr 2026

      We’re so glad you were able to see so much of DC in a short time! Tonya and Sally will be happy to hear they helped make your experience a great one. Thank you for the recommendation, we appreciate you joining us!

      Sally and Godfree were amazing! Sally is very knowledgeable about the city and all that’s happening in and around it! She’s well versed in the history and culture of DC. Her and Godfree the driver worked well together and knew of road blocks and things unexpected to us that were happing that would effect our tour but because they worked so well together the tour was smooth and seamless! Thank you for a memorable time.

      Washington is a huge city. It needs a bus, it needs explanations and it needs to know where to take it. I loved the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial. I would never have known of his ssm the tour.
