This was a nice riding tour.Our tour guide Reggie, knows a lot of information but isn’t overly friendly and was borderline rude when we first met up with. A simple question like “how long have you been giving these tours” was responded with a quick “somehow ever tour a get asked that at the most inappropriate moment, now wasn’t appropriate but..and we never got an answer. Other groups appeared to energetic, fun, guides and seemed to really have a great time on their tour. Sadly we didn’t have that experience.
Courtland was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing!!! So knowledgeable and had answers to all of my kids questions
This tour lived up to our expectations. The cart was comfortable and we felt very close to all the monuments. We were able to see everything. Patrick was a wonderful tour guide. He was able to tell wonderful stories about the history of the city. His recommendation to see the Korean War Memorial at night was spot on. Patrick was very accommodating to all of us and was even able to drop us at our hotel at the end of the tour because it was on his way to the end point. Thank you.
Our Driver Chris was very professional. He was knowledgeable with the history and made our experience fun. Very engaged and made sure we were safe at all times. Thank you Chris!
Our guide was so knowledgeable, gave us a detailed history of the monuments and made for a wonderful experience.
This is the way to see DC. Our tour guide Ellen was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on other things to see and do.
I saw so many great reviews about this tour so me and my friends were really looking forward to it plus it was our first time in DC and we wanted to not only see but learn something about the places the tour was covering.
Unfortunately, this was a bad experience from the very beginning. Our group had two different reservations and it happened that we got assigned to different e-carts when booked online. Instead of just putting our group in the same cart they made such a big deal out of it, didn’t even explain why it wasn’t possible, even though we were there early and one of the carts was completely empty upon our arrival so that didn’t make any sense. We didn’t want to argue so we just accepted the situation, even though they could clearly see that we weren’t happy.
The tour itself was very mediocre- you are mostly paying for the ride. One of the tour guides seemed completely disinterested in his job and barely shared any interesting facts/information about the city or monuments that we were seeing.
At the end of the tour they kind of pressured us into giving them tips in front of everyone which felt super awkward. If we wanted to thank them we would do that without being asked. The tour itself wasn’t even worth the price that we paid for it so giving tips was out of question.
Unfortunate I wouldn’t recommend this tour.
This was a wonderful tour of the major monuments and locations in DC. Lorenzo was a great guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind.
Highly recommend this tour especially if this is your first trip to DC.
Excellent way to see the monuments after dark, narrated by a knowledgeable guide - a very different perspective than in the daylight.
This was my first trip to DC. This tour was an easy way to get the lay of the land. Our tour guide Ellen was knowledgeable and fun (not to mention a great photographer). Highly recommend this tour!
This is the only tour you should take of Arlington National Cemetery. Not only is Eric incredibly knowledgeable , he has wonderful stories about the various people interred there. If you love history, especially military history you must do a tour with Eric.
Dede was knowledgeable! Tour was most enjoyable! Enjoyed the extensive visit to the Lincoln Memorial and the Martin Luther King Memorial.
Teddy was very informative. Very friendly and I liked the tour and all the extra information he gave us and the time off at the Lincoln Memorial and the Martin Luther King.
We appreciated the tour. It was really informative and interactive. We had Catherine as the driver/guide. She tells the story in a clear way that’s engaging. We loved her!
Well worth it. You learn about many places you want to visit and wouldn’t have known. So go on the first day. Dee was a great and helpful guide. So glad we got her as our guide.
Lorenzo was a fantastic guide! Loved the stops, loved the small cart experience! Highly recommend this!
Our guide Ellen, was very knowledgeable and engaging. She made sure that even the 15 y/o was into the tour. She was asking questions and he was responding, and same with my 88 y/o mom. We had a variety of ages on that car and she made sure that we all enjoyed ourselves and we had the best time and learned so much and enjoyed the entire trip.
Peter was amazing...Made the experience fun and educational. Extra kudos for dropping us off a5 our hotel afterwards!
Great experience
Didn’t feel rushed
Lots of information and history. Made many stops for photos and restroom breaks.
Highly recommend
We had a great time traveling around the monuments as it was getting dark and seeing them all lit up. Lorenzo was a great guide who was both informative and funny.
The tour was very well planned; major memorial were included, two stops were included to visit MLK and Lincoln memorials (and refresh) Our tour guide Cortland was very knowledgeable and experienced. His stories were engaging and full of interesting information. On the whole, the tour was excellent.
They unfortunately canceled about 30 minutes before. However, they did call. I know things happen but it really changed our day in DC. I have some health issues so it put me in a difficult position.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Dear Bryner, We are sorry for the disappointment and frustration caused by the cancellation of your tour. This should have been communicated to you in advance, and we sincerely apologise that this did not happen.
This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we are truly sorry for the way this situation was handled. We are currently reviewing what happened to help prevent similar issues in the future.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologise for letting you down on this occasion and appreciate your understanding.
Best regards,
Intrepid Urban Adventures Team
Ellen was the best. I can not praise her any higher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a fun and simple way to see the beauty of DC and the monuments by moonlight! The experience was seamless and well done Would highly recommend!
Enjoyable trip and our guide was super friendly but there are several photo opportunities that seem to be zipped on by that are not "monuments" to speak of. We had great weather so it made it very pleasant during tge ride. Its an easy way to see several monuments without tge walk.
Such a great experience! Amazing way to see the monuments and not get sooo tired walking to them all. Our guide, Peter, was so knowledgeable about literally everything. Loved hearing the history of some the oldest places in our country with a personal touch. And we had ample time to get out and see the monuments instead of just driving past.
Fascinating tour, stunning views, learned loads, with huge thanks to our guide Amanda who was fabulous.
This was a fun little tour with opportunities to get out and see the sights and take pictures— which was a treat!
A great way to see the main sights of Washington. Very special to be able to do it in the evening - much cooler and the monuments are beautiful at night.
Loved this experience. Small group was really nice. Great way to get around DC vs big bus tour. Our guide was great. Easy to fine meeting location.
