This is a great tour if you only have a half day to see the sights in Washington,DC.

Especially nice since it was pouring rain on the day we got to sightsee

Nice, relaxing, informative.

Bettina_B, Mar 2023

Really nice staff. You can hear the speakers better from Up top, so we went up there to hear the history. No regrets!

Great Washington Trip

cookie_d, Mar 2023

Nice overview of Washington. Wished we could have seen Arlington Cemetary. Could haves used water and snack in 4 hrs.

Welcome to D.C.

Pamela_M, Mar 2023

Nice way to see the city for the first time. There’s a lot to take in and the selected stops were perfect for exploring some of the most popular sites. Driver was personable and knowledgeable!! Our family really enjoyed it.

Alli the Best Guide

Chunan_C, Mar 2023

Alli is the best tourist guide we have ever had. My wife and I were deeply impressed by his passion with his work and his friendliness toward his customers. We hope we'll be lucky enough to find him again when we come back to the capital with our 3 grandkids in summer.

Excellent tour, I recommend it!

Sylvia_B, Feb 2023

Our driver and your guide, Ali, was really nice and knowledgeable. We were the only ones in the trip for that day (low season) but he took us anyway. He says he never cancels a trip due to minimum number of people and we really appreciated that. The tour was excellent and we Gad enough time at each stop to see the sites.

Dr. Ali rocks

Rex_M, Feb 2023

Dr Ali was a very insightful driver and gave my family and I very many tips and topics to review about the different monuments.

The tour took us to many...

Rebekah_C, Feb 2023

The tour took us to many stops which was nice and our tour guide was a safe driver. There were monuments listed on the tour description we didn’t go to and overall the tour was less than 3 hours, not the 4 hours/half-day as described. Also, I wasn’t impressed with the demeanor of the driver. He cut off everyone a lot and was slightly rude with loud reacting of non-interesting or irrelevant information. He also referred to everyone on the tour by saying “hey ladies” which was odd but there were also non ladies on the trip too.

Great Tour...Must Go!

Shay_L, Jan 2023

Paul was a great guide. The tour is worth the experience. It was amazing to see some of the monuments and memorials up close and have someone explain the history.

Awesome tour!

Carlene_G, Jan 2023

Dr. Ali was a very knowledgeable tour guide. The bus was comfortable and everyone was friendly. I learned a lot on the tour. Thank you.

Great way to see the historical sites!!

nora_r, Jan 2023

traveling throughout DC in a small minibus. Driver was informative and had personality! Pleasant and professional tour guide.

None of the places...

Christina_B, Jan 2023

None of the places advertised on the website was even included in this nighttime tour. Jefferson monument was not driven past, Ford’s theater was not driven past. And the tour guide talked about economics in our country the whole time, and not about what we were seeing. He did not even get off the bus.

The story of the United...

Eric_P, Jan 2023

The story of the United States, the building and the architecture. The Nice weather and the expérience of the driver

truth about this tour

Nikita_G, Dec 2022

This tour was good. Let me start by saying our tour guide was amazing! Very kind! Soft spoken and knowledgeable. You can tell he knows history & he shared it well. The only downside to this tour expect night time to be dark. We couldn’t really see the things he told us to look at while driving unless it was up close so i recommend going during the day because there aren’t much “lighted areas” i thought there would be. But if you want history, and great photos during the stops i recommend. Defines an experience to remember.

Paul the Tour Lord

Teri_N, Dec 2022

Interaction with the tour guide Paul was our favorite thing. He was fantastic and we loved his dad jokes. He was from the area and had a great knowledge of the history of DC.

Everything was great and our driver Charles was very entertaining and knowledgeable

Grace_B, Dec 2022

Capital Hill was amazing and the memorials too were breathtaking the driver was great and knowledgeable.

We really had the perfect tour guide!!

Amaryllis_C, Dec 2022

My family and I absolutely loved this tour and our tour guide was phenomenal (I believe his name was Charles, but I am not sure).

All of the tour was...

Lamar_B, Dec 2022

All of the tour was great. The driver was extremely informative and narrate well. He took us to the different site and eloquently explained them to us. It was very intriguing to learn about the history of this, our great nation.

Great experience...

Rui_C, Dec 2022

Great experience Our driver was funny and knowledgeable. By far the best way to check out the sites and learn some history along the way

Extremely disappointing tour

Sue_M, Dec 2022

The tour guide told inappropriate jokes with a child in the van, cut the tour short by one hour and did not include some of the memorials (FDR in particular), and played soul jazz on the way back to the Hyatt, without pointing out many other locations on the way back. Minimal effort on his part; there was so much more he could have pointed out. I had taken the same tour in early June and it was a different experience.

Need a new tour guide

Kim_M, Dec 2022

Our tour guide shared his personal opinion many times during the trip about our past President Donald Trump. We feel he should keep his personal opinion to himself.. Also We hate Rap music and thats all he played during the trip..His job as a tour guide is to inform us about the area , and such , and keep his bias opinion to himself..
