Great tour and great guide. It’s a little long but worth it as we received additional information from the guide about some of the buildings and monuments we passed by them on our way to view the most popular and visited monuments in DC.

George is very knowledgeable and courteous, he goes out of his way to accommodate everyone. Learned a lot about DC and the history.

Philana_L, Apr 2026
I’m glad I booked this tour. I got to see all the important monuments and memorials of Washington DC, couldn’t have seen it all if I tried on my own. The tour guide was experienced and knew what he was doing. The only downside is losing time due to waiting on other people of the group when picking them up at the start of the tour.
