This was a great tour to take. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely. We loved seeing the city and the monuments at night. Our guide was fantastic, patient with us (we tend to move a little slow) , had so much great information and was great to talk to. Would highly recommend this for everyone.

Visit to Jefferson and Martin Luther King memorial. Very moving. The tour guide was very knowlegable and made the whole experience a lot of fun.

Thanks very much we appreciate your support.

No Show

jh4fyk92gk, May 2023
If I could give ZERO STARS I would. The driver never showed up. Despite multiple emails and text confirmations they were a no show. Calling Viator did not help.

Response from Host, May 2023

We sent numerous messages to your party there was no response. We wanted your party to know that we do not pick up from Maryland ,despite not being able to reach your party a vehicle was still placed on standby till 8pm .. We regret the miscommunication hence our decision to give you FULL REFUND. Thanks for your business and review.

Bobby

mary_M, Oct 2022
First off, I would like to comment on our driver. Although he was very informative and knowledgeable about DC. He was a little crude for our liking. He always thought he was being funny but the 4 adults did not appreciate his humor or the political innuendo’s. Viator is our go to tour company weather it be overseas or in the states. Bobby was there early and navigated the streets great . We asked him if he would take us over to the Ford Theater. No problem very accommodating that way. I would however highly recommend the evening tour . The monuments were spectacular at night and MLK was impressive.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your review and business. We are happy you enjoyed seeing the city at night, and will address your concerns presented.

Amazing way to see it all!

Lisa_S, Oct 2022
Our driver was amazing! Knowledge, friendly, funny and made sure we knew all the little hidden treasures!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for choosing us, and for taking time to let us know you are a satisfied customer. We look forward to seeing you again.

Our guide, Bobby, was exceptionally great! Our family learned a bit, saw all the monuments, and Bobby made it all fun. I highly recommend this tour!!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks for choosing us we appreciate your business.

Great evening DC tour.

Claire_V, Aug 2022
Bobby was a fantastic tour guide with an overview of history in an entertaining manner. Our family of 5 all had great views of the sites in the comfy van with great A/C. Seeing the town in the evening was cooler on a hot summer day, plus less crowded. The lights of the monuments made for some striking pics. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks for your business and review.We appreciate you very much.

Fabulous tour!

Kelly_A, Aug 2022
Frank was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. He was prompt and took us to all the sights we were hoping to see. His van is super clean and it was very easy jumping on and off at all the locations. Definitely recommend this tour!

Greatest tour guide ever

Stephen_N, Jul 2022
Our guide was amazing. Very detailed for us and polite. Taught me things I had no clue about. He also assisted us because my son displaced his phone and he went back to a sit for us.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

It was a pleasure to be of service to your family, thanks for your business and review hope to see you again.

Magical DC

Kathy_W, Jul 2022
DC at night was magical and our driver, Bernard, was great. We we’re able to see much more than we could have on our own and it was the perfect way to end our trip. Thank you!!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thanks we appreciate your business and review

Moonlit tour on July 3

Lisa_G, Jul 2022
Bernard was a funny, knowledgeable tour guide and safe driver. We appreciated the cold water here provided, as it was a hot night. He couldn’t possibly have gotten us any closer to the entrances of each monument or building. We had a wonderful tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thanks for your business and review.Happy 4th of July.

Magic by moonlight

Virginia_C, May 2022
We really enjoyed our moonlight tour of the monuments. Fisseha was very knowledgeable and friendly. He stopped everywhere we wanted. All the war exhibits that my teenager had to see. He also does just families so it was very comfortable. Very clean van. We highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks for your business and review we appreciate you.

Racist tour guide

Jane_W, May 2022
This was the worst tour that we have ever had - it was very uncomfortable. I feel Bobby is a racist toward white people. When he found out my husband was a retired cop, he started calling him the Po Po asking if he enjoyed putting his knee to people’s throats. He never put a knee to anyone’s throat. I felt like deep down, he did not like white people.

Response from Host, May 2022

Please accept our sincere apology for the tour guides remarks,as we do not condone this behavior.We have reviewed this matter for an opportunity to improve customer service. N:B . WE HAVE SEVERED TIES WITH THIS TOUR GUIDE.

Def would recommend

The best

Lester_J, Apr 2022
Even though it was raining Tunde made it worth it, very knowledgeable and accommodating.....he even got out in the rain to take pics of us and guide us through the Lincoln memorial...if there is a better guide than Tunde then i dont want him. Also the Benz van with the tint makes you feel like a vip lol

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you so much we appreciate your business and review.You’re a VIP in our books.

I attempted touring the...

Jeremy_G, Apr 2022
I attempted touring the monuments of D.C on my own with my family but quickly discovered that parking is a constant issue; often having to search 45 minuets to an hour for an open space and then rushing back or having to forfeit my space because my time expired. In two days we saw only two monuments and one museum. On this tour we hit every monument the White House and all the big buildings. We even had enough time to see some recent additions to the city. I absolutely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you we appreciate your business

Nice but short

Bradley_R, Apr 2022
Saw several spots, but not a 4 hour tour, more like a 2 1/2 hour tour. At last minute we were told that our hotel was not close enough for free pick-up and drop-off, and that this would require an additional $65.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

This is a private tour your party determines how long you stay at each memorial,we can’t force you stay more than you wish.Thanks for your honest review.

Would not recommend this tour operator

Panna_P, Mar 2022
Seeing the DC monuments and memorials at nighttime was very pretty. I was very disappointed however with the quality of this night tour-the tour guide (Victor) was not very friendly nor informative about the history of the monuments or memorials. He told us to be in lobby waiting between 7:00 and 7:30 with no specific time given. He didn’t even pull up to the hotel door so we had to walk our dad out to the street with his cane. Victor basically just drove us without providing any history behind the tour. He didn’t open and close doors for us nor even offered to assist one of our physically challenged family members. Compared to other private DC tours we took this week, this was a huge disappointment. I would ask for a refund of the tour if I knew how. Our tour lasted 1.5 hours total and he didn’t offer to show us anything else.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

NOT ACCURATE:We stand by our tour guide Victor,an American History major so we know for sure that your review is a misrepresentation.He doesn’t have to open the door for you because we know for certain that on this tour he was driving a 2021 Mercedes Benz Sprinter with automatic doors,your party was also driven to all the memorials on the mall except for the Supreme Court because of height restrictions on the vehicle he was driving that night. Your party also decided to call it a night because according to the lead traveler it was too cold. We stand by our guides and products.

Fun

Brea_H, Mar 2022
Victor was very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately it was pouring rain during our tour, but he still made it personable and memorable. I would do this again when it’s warmer and not raining to get the full private “hop on, hop off experience”

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thanks for your review and business

Great night!

Nicholas_K, Mar 2022
Had a great tour! Tunde is very knowledgeable and informative. Made for a fun evening. He also was able to show us the easiest routes to get the best pictures for a couple in their 70's

Response from Host, Mar 2022

THANKS.We appreciate your business and review,your party made it so easy.Hope to see you again in the future.

A great way to spend an evening!

Rick_S, Feb 2022
What a great way to spend an evening. Our tour guide and driver was informative and had a wonderful personality. He showed us things that I’ve missed in DC before. It was great to go at our own pace and see the monuments in a new and personal way.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

It was nice being of service to your family,thanks for your business and review.

Wonderful, safe, and flexible.

Joy_S, Feb 2022
Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive, and very friendly. He knew right where to drop us off to get us the best access to the monuments for pictures. He picked us up promptly and conveniently. He was a safe and patient driver, which I appreciated as we had my kids with us. He picked us up and dropped us off right in front of our Air BnB. It was an ideal experience for our family - saved me all the planning and driving while I sat back and let an expert take us to all the highlights. When my kids got tired, he took us back home.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Thanks so much for your vote of confidence,we appreciate your business and review.

Must Do!
