This was an excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and catered the tour to our interests. This is the best way to see the city in one day. Our guide knew the exact route to take and where to park. The tour lasted right around 3 hours and 45 minutes. It was not rushed at all.

We appreciate your support and review.

Tunde was great. Van was very comfortable. Totally flexible on where we went and in what order. Great with our grandkids. My wife left her cane in the van and Tunde brought it back to our hotel on his own time that evening.

My team had an amazing time! Our professional driver and tour guide "Tunde" was exceptional! He went above and beyond our expectation. Viator agent "Mark John" was amazing and helped me picked the right tour for my team. Tunde and Mark John are very friendly and professional. Thank you for making our experience one of a kind! They were both easy to work with and will go with the flow with our needs.
Thank you very much and we appreciate you guys and your team!

Great way to see the monuments! We would never have covered this much in a morning by ourselves. The tour guide was interesting, knowledgeable and friendly.

Great experience with a knowledgeable and personable driver. He took us where we asked him to go and was patient when we chose to spend more ( or less) time at certain places.

Transport was clean and well presented. Our driver was pleasant and punctual, provided water, yet at times was difficult to understand. I would not recommend this as a private tour of city highlights as advertised if you are expecting an informed tour guide to support your highlights stopover at each of the major sites.. It is more of a convenient yet very expensive transportation from one site to another. Minimal knowledge was shared that one would not know already as a visiting tourist and most can be walked and linked. Uber/taxi/e scooter/bike and a well planned route of city’s highlights could be done at a fraction of the cost.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
We appreciate your business and review.All our Guides are experienced and Good students of history and moving forward we shall use this to improve better. Thanks Again.
RamonKumar, Jun 2022
Terrible. They tried to only give us 3 hours….had to call the manager to let us have entire 4 hours. Half the monuments he would not bring us to. Knowledgeable driver, but not the most polite…..
Response from Host, Jun 2022
There was a lot of road closures on your tour date,hence he wasn’t able to accommodate all of the stops. I believe you had 4hours tour and you used your entire time.
Thanks for your business we appreciate you .

Tunde was excellent and very knowledgeable. He made sure we got to see the sights and made it a great day

Julian_S, May 2022
We were dropped off at Arlington and the guide/van left us there. When we called to be picked up, we were waiting for more than an hour and ended up taking the train back to the city.
Response from Host, May 2022
In as much as we try to please our customers,there are some situations beyond our control .And that was especially true because two events was going on simultaneously,the Lincoln memorial Centennial and Memorial Day celebration hence the delay in picking your party up because roads were closed.
I did spoke to the lead traveler and apologized and made partial refund of $150.We thank you for your business and review.
James_B, Apr 2022
Tunde was an excellent guide who made the trip most informative and enjoyable for our five grandchildren and the adults as well. A warm and welcoming presence and a great sense of humor - and the Mercedes Sprinter was clean and comfortable. He helped us make the most of our DC tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thanks we appreciate your business.Hope to see you in the near future.Regards to all.

Victor was absolutely great. We had two couple with 2 babies under 2 years old. He was very patient and we had plenty of room in the van. Definitely recommend!!!

Cheerful and knowledgeable guide, navigating the city and explicitly explaining relevance of sites visited.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thanks we appreciate your business.
Jacqueline_H, Feb 2022
We were led to believe admittance to the White House for 20 minutes was included as listed on the itinerary
Starting point so are disappointed and this was the reason we chose this particular tour (albeit we thought it was unusual) but definitely misleading phrasing on behalf of the tour company
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Not Accurate:No one led your party to believe that admittance to the White House was included on the tour you chose.It was explained to you what is required to visit the White House and that it takes upwards of 3months when you apply through your embassy if you are a foreigner and through your congressman or Senator if you an American citizen.
We also reached out to your party several times so we could discuss your itinerary but no response,so in the future we suggest you read the fine prints so that there’s no misunderstanding . Thanks

Tundey was an amazing driver and tour guide! We were very comfortable and had plenty of room in the vehicle. He was accommodating and extremely knowledgeable! I would recommend this private tour to anyone. What a way to see Washington D.C.!

Fifty Year Anniversary Celebration was a success! My husband and I wanted to celebrate fifty years of marriage with a trip to DC. It was a most enjoyable experience. One of highlights of our trip was the four hour private tour. Our tour guide was super! He treated us like royalty. Both my husband and I have slight mobility issues, and our guide was patient and kind. We crammed as much into our time as we possibly could and had a grand time doing it. Thank you for making this milestone in our lives a true celebration.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Happy Anniversary,we are glad to be part of an awesome event.
Jonathan_F, Nov 2021
Bernard was very accommodating and friendly. We covered quite a lot of ground during the time, and he hit all the top items we wanted to see, even with a few extra bonuses thrown in. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to see all the highlights without having to do your own walking/driving and exploring.
Response from Host, Nov 2021

Guide was knowledgeable; explained well; had patience and added humor. Only issue was, booking said: 4 hours tour but guide was instructed for 3 hours tour. All went really well otherwise.

We had a great time exploring the DC monuments with Tunde. He was able to park right next to each spot so it was easy to get in and out. He was friendly and fun with our kids. He dropped us off at the end at a nice spot to eat near our hotel. I would recommend him.

This tour was fantastic. Our guide Nicole was a knowledgeable and engaging narrator. She knows her history and her city. It was a miserably hot and humid day, but she kept us in air conditioned comfort. Loved it!

Driver (Alberto) was on time to pick us up at the hotel and he hit the key visit points in DC provided us interesting information on the way. He also provided us background info on sites we passed but did not stop to visit on this trip. Great family time with grandparents and grandkids. He kept us all interested along the way. Highly recommend this trip and we would do it again.
