Our tour guide Nona was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour even though it was cold and rainy that morning. She took the time to explain historical facts in detail. I highly recommend Nona as the tour guide for this tour. Shree

Loved the tour director Nick. He was very fun, knowledgeable and energetic. Our tour saw the memorials and even though it was a snow storm, Nick kept us engaged and taught us a lot about each site.

History with Humor

Todd_G, Feb 2023

Our half day tour with Nick and Maggie was great. It went beyond the basic facts and insightful albeit crazy story about DC and our founding fathers. Nick’s “dad jokes” kept out attention and us entertained.

Great tour for first time visitor that wasn’t 6 hours!

Becky_G, Dec 2022

I bought this tour for a friend who’d never been to Washington, DC. He loved it! He walked back to a few sites that you just pointed out in a drive past them!

Laura_S, Oct 2022

We just randomly lucked out. The tour was comprehensive and detailed. Our guide, Leon, couldn’t have been better. He gave us the most informative history lesson. His energy was amazing and fun! Each stop was well paced and we saw everything we wanted to see. This tour was very well organized and comfortable.

My tour

Constance_R, Sept 2022

The tour guide was amazing and really captured the behind the scenes information in American history. The only downside was our tour bus broke down.

Extensive!

Dawn_R, Sept 2022

We covered so much in about 3 1/2 hrs. Good guide and helpful driver. A bit more walking than expected, but was doable for 73 and 80 yr old. Pooped by end of trip, but we’ll worth it!

Great trip
