Ken was knowledgeable and entertaining and made sure everyone in our group had a good experience. He let us know that due to the Formula One race coming to DC, certain areas had been closed off from public access blocking one of our intended stops so he made sure to offer an alternative and no one missed the stop, we still had a full and wonderful 3 hours. He went above and beyond and had everything timed just right at each stop to get to see what was there, get some great pictures, and get on to the next stop. It was a fantastic introductory tour to some of the most known sites in DC, so you could figure out where you might want to go back and spend more time. He also gave great recommendations for nearby restaurants, bars, and more things to do and see. He clearly took great pride in the history of the city and sharing knowledge that you don’t get out of a textbook. Whether it’s your first visit to DC or has been a while since your last visit, this is a great place to start.
Efficient way to see top sites in one evening. Knowledgeable about history of various monuments. I recommend this tour.
This was the first time my family and I visited DC and the only tour I booked. I am so grateful that we got Ken, who was extremely kind. We not only got to see all of the sites we visited DC to see, but Ken provided a great deal of history about each site and the city itself. The amount of time we were able to get out at each stop was excellent and given all of the construction and detours in the city, Ken did a wonderful job navigating. Additionally, he provided great suggestions for the remainder of our stay.
This was an absolutely amazing experience! I called ahead to see what I needed to bring to pack my 1.5 year old and they were super accommodating. Dustin is a WEALTH of knowledge and I would suggest it to everyone!
Very nice and pleasant. Didn't feel rushed. A/C was a savior. The guide was kind helpful and knowledgeable.
Our family had a fantastic tour with Ken on a hot, stormy evening. It packed in many monuments and we enjoyed his stories of interesting places in between - he’s lived in DC his whole life! He prepares you and drops you off and gives you a time to meet back up. We loved that! Very comfortable, clean, and cool van. He provided plastic ponchos when a storm broke out. Prepared! There were only 2 parties on tour so he dropped us off at our Airbnb afterward! Wow! Small tour compared to the big ones has major pluses. Highly recommend Heart of DC!
Very intimate small group setting allowing us to ask several questions. Our guide offered interesting stories and insights about our capital. I would definitely do it again.
Fantastic tour, really bourght DC to life. Our Tour Guide Rich was the best ever!! I thoroughly recommend this tour it was perfect.
The experience was spectacular. The van was nice and cool held approximately 12 people. The owner, our guide was very personable and took care of us. We felt very safe. First time visitors here. We saw things that we would never been able to achieve on our own. We got up close and personal too many buildings and monuments. highly recommend this tour. The nighttime views were spectacular.
Started out while it was still daylight - which was great. Allowed us to see two monument s in the daylight . . Time at each stop was great. Our tour guide gave great information in the Van and we toured alone at our pace at his set time limit., it was good.
