Wonderful time - the tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable but what mostly stood out to me was he was funny, genuine and enthusiastic about what he was doing and the history he shared. Time and money well spent!

A different type of fun for DC! If you like drama and the juicy gossip of what really happened behind the scenes- this tour will be fun. Derek the tour guide was entertaining and really knowledgeable. Recommend 10/10.

A great alternative to see DC outside of the usual monument tours. Great twist with the DC scandals and True Crime stories. Sam was a wonderful storyteller and driver Curtis was first rate!! We had a wonderful time.

Derek was wonderful, fun and seemed knowledgeable. Weather was perfect. Driver was always on time! Water bottles were a plus!

Great experience!!! Guide and driver had a great relationship. Guide was supper knowledgeable, funny and knew how to engage the group
I think his name was Derek and the driver was Lenny. I feel like I learned a lot and had a blast.

It was way too long and not very interesting.
The tour guide was terrible. He talked way too much and dragged the stories on way too long. The tours was supposed to be 3 hours it was 3 1/2 hours. This tour could have been done in 1 hour.
As for the tour guide he used words that were inappropriate in mixed company. Also he had to point out a RAT in a garage can.
This was the worst tour we have never been on. We should be getting a refund. Your tour company represents our country to visiting people all over the world. Very sad representation of our country.

We apologize that you had such a negative experience. We'd love to follow up with the tour guide and look into this further. Can you reach out with your order number?

It was a bit boring and long! Lasted 3.5 hours! There is more walking than I thought. Guide & driver were nice but guide rambled on a bit.
Anne_C, Aug 2025
We had a great time! Lenny and Derek were so much fun, and incredibly informed. I am at least 30 years their senior and they knew everything I knew and more! Definitely make this one of your must-dos if you visit DC!

This was a fun, interesting and informative tour of scandals and true crime in DC. Our group had a blast! Gets you right up close to places we never thought we could. 10/10 recommended.

There is some moderate walking but even in rainy weather it was a phenomenal tour. Evan was a great source of knowledge and shared so much information. Leonard was a fantastic driver. Overall the tour was exceptional and one of the best ones I’ve taken.
Belinda_H, Apr 2025
We have traveled all over the world. This tour ranks in our top five of the best tours we taken experienced. Evan was the best guide. Super knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. We will definitely take this tour again the next time we are in DC.

Fun and informative tour. Both our guid and driver were great. Nice new van if a bit cramped. It was great night tour of DC.
Gary_M, Mar 2025
Not much crime and not much scandal . More sights we visited that we had already seen. Kind of a waste but tour guide was knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
We appreciate the feedback. We will talk to the tour guide for that night to provide further training on how to improve the experience.
Nellie_S, Mar 2025
Derek was an amazing tour guide, and he was super knowledgeable about the entire city. He took us all around the city and shared some real scandalous stories. Would recommend! Wear a coat in the spring though because the wind can be chilly.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Excellent travel tip! Thanks for coming!

Hard to say. Nothing stood out. Found the content delivery very boring. I felt I knew more than the tour guide. This was billed as an insiders guide to DC. It wasn’t. All of the information was before 2000. If I wanted a simple basic tour of DC I wouldn’t have selected this tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for providing this feedback. We have followed up with the guide about their delivery and will implement training to make sure the tour meets expectations. As the nature of a scandal is in perception, we intentionally focus on historical events to ensure the experience is fun for all. That being said, we will review the product posting and improve clarity.
