This was a great tour. James and Chris adapted to the difficulties we encountered with closures and we still got to see everything we wanted. I definitely would recommend this tour.

We had an older tour guide who had to speak into the microphone, and if you were not standing no more than 5 feet away from him- YOU COULDNT HEAR ANYTHING!!! The walking speed of this tour was INSANE!!! We had multiple people just stop, because they couldn’t keep up! And all that walking was while talking and squeezing through the crowds! Besides the guide mentioning “of there is a cherry blossom tree” there was NOTHING ABOUT CHERRY BLOSSOMS
this tour is about monuments!!! Which is ok… but he kept repeating useless information time after time… so 7 hours of him talking nonstop… and running… nothing registered in the memory at all
Except for running and trying to catch up….

We had a fantastic time on this tour! We saw so many of the country's most important and fascinating monuments and the beautiful City. Our tour guide, Sally, and our bus driver, Valerie, were amazing. Sally is so knowledgeable, and she shared a wealth of information in a manner that was both fun and entertaining. Our tour occurred at the very peak of cherry blossom season, a time of year that is both incredibly beautiful and logistically challenging. The crowds and traffic were unbelievable and created numerous challenges for the tour's busy schedule!! Sally and Valerie were extremely flexible and handled them deftly. They adjusted the order and duration of the stops, over and over again, ensuring that we saw and enjoyed everything!! Valerie's skills as a driver were tested repeatedly - and she was just astounding! The boat ride on the Potomac River was beautiful and fun, capping off a wonderful day.
I would recommend this tour to everyone!

We hoped to enjoy this tour but , after booking, paying, giving a glowing review to the booking agent Edward Robert from Viator, and coming to the bus ahead of time , we never had to experience it, because the agent or the system never sent information to the provider, we were not on the list of passengers and the bus was already filled with other tourists. There was not a single space left on the bus and we needed three, so we were denied access. The same situation happened to the other family. The next day we had to fly back home, so - no, we definitely did not enjoy our experience.

I don’t even know where to beginning, the tour started late and we were treated as if we were children on a school trip. Everything took forever to get done. We could barely hear our guide throughout the tour and he would stand and talk in the sun. The lunch break we had made it worst everywhere needed a reservation to eat and was expensive. Last but not least the boat tour was the exact information as the bus tour. What a waste of money and time.

We had a great time. Tyron was super knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Chris was a great driver and very pleasant. We saw so much on this tour and would have never been able to see as much of DC on our own. I recommend this to anyone visiting the Capital City.

Beginning and End need some experience design. We bailed at the White House (last official stop. Tour guide was great! Bus driver had no personality. Would have been nice to see the Supreme Court, even if just a drive by. Also, suggest having a Venmo or other digital wallet option for tipping.

Great tour! Happy we booked it! The best way to explore Washington for the first time. We were so lucky to have Sally as our tour guide - she is very professional and knowledgeable with great sense of humor! Our driver Chris is just the best! he managed to get us to the best sight seeing points when it was impossible with streets being closed due to Cherry Blossom Festival. We got into very heavy rain storm while on a boat ride but Chris magically pulled our tour bus right to the feet of our boat, so no one got wet! Amazing! Thank you Sally and Chris!!

Our guide, Tyrone & driver, Chris were a wealth of knowledge & interjected humor along the way along with fun facts. This is the perfect way to see a lot of the heartfelt sites of DC in a day.
We’d do it again & highly recommend it to anyone visiting DC. Kudos Tyrone!

It was a marvelous trip around DC. I am an old guy and pretty set in my ways. I always drive but just this once I thought I'd give a guided tour a try.
Best decision I've made regarding travel in a long long time. The trip, the diver, amd the guide were first rate. All of the nuggests of information were great and delivered with obvious interest in the subject matter. No hassels with driving in a unfamilar area, no parking costs, no hunting for parking spaces, driving around bottlenecks. It was ideal.
We are going to NYC in the spring and will be using these services then 5 STAR all the way

It was wonderful to see so much of DC in such a short time. We were able to be driven to the tops sights on an air Conditioned Bus. The bus was comfortable and had outlets to charge our phones and they provided water. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He gave us many tips on other things to do places to eat after our tour. Highly RECOMMEND!!
