First Class trip

Kathryn_A, Sep 2023

last minute booking. Very Clean modern mini bus. Friendly super knowledgeable driver and guide. Answered questions and not rushed. Excellent communication. Washington DC has a different feeling in the night as the day - you should try it.

Good times

It was very informative, and the guide was very nice. Meet Great people. If you had a questions, it was answered. On time for pick up at hotel and was kept in touch at all times.

Mood of the Monuments in the Evening

Janet_H, May 2023

Obviously there is a different light on the monuments, but also a different mood visiting the monuments in the evening. Our guide was fabulous and gave us different facts and information than the daytime tour. I would recommend sightseeing both during the day and evening. FYI - there is only one monument I would recommend seeing for sure during the daylight, the Vietnam Memorial.

Great tour

Becky_B, Mar 2023

Enjoyed moonlight tour very much. Monuments are beautiful at night. Got to see lots in short period of time.

Go small

Monika_d, Nov 2022

Kia, our guide was terrific. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Traveling in a small group was so, so much nicer than the big bus tours.

Best city tour ever!

Kelly_M, Jun 2022

Victor gave us an extraordinary tour of the city. Including little known facts, amazing insights and really cool pieces of information. He was fun, interesting and made us so excited to be here!
