Our driver talked about sewage for about half of the tour. He voiced too many personal opinions. This tour was just not fun. It was a lot of driving not much of the sights

Lynn_S, May 2026
The tour experience was far more than we expected. Chris was well informed on the sites we saw. He did a great job driving us through D.C. and pointing out many attractions with stories accompanying them. We were able to comfortably hop on and hop off at any or all the stops. It was a great way to determine if we wanted to revisit certain locations in the daylight.

Dear Lynn, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Chris and the unique insights he provided about D.C. We hope to see you again for more adventures in the future! Warm regards, Intrepid Urban Adventures Team

Rodney_H, May 2026
While I found the driver very knowledgable I find the companies policy of making the entire group wait for stragglers or no shows and then penalizing them that ten minutes to be a bad practice.

Gilbert_V, May 2026
Not so much walking except for the Lincoln Memorial stop. Sometimes, a little nerve wracking when the TikTok drives in the middle at high speed side by side with the buses but still felt safe in my opinion.

Mike_M, May 2026
Seeing the monuments at night is a beautiful sight. Our guide was Dr. Cooke and he had a commanding knowledge of the history of DC and the individual monuments. He was also kind enough to take some great pictures of us and drop us off on the way back to the starting point since our hotel was on the way back from the last monument. My only wish would have been to have a bit more time at the Lincoln Memorial. Construction and traffic caused some delays.
Kevin_S, May 2026

Amanda was our tour guide. She was very personable and detailed in providing us information along our route. She joined us on our stops explaining more information about the specific monument we were at. She even helped us take group photos at the different stops. Highly recommend this small personal tour. We enjoyed it very much and well worth it! Would recommend bringing a wind jacket and hat as the vehicle is open and it was windy.

We had auch a fantastic time, our driver, Alan, was so personable and knowledgeable. It’s so different seeing the sights at night, all lit up. I wish we had done the tour at the beginning of our trip as you learn so much, it would have added something extra when walking around the city in the day.
