It was very interesting and full of details. The tour guide knew lots of information that made the trip interesting.
We had a great time seeing DC with a tour guide. Our guide was Ollie and was very knowledgeable. He knew lots of facts and easily answered our questions. We would have a fun quiz of the facts he has shared earlier on during the tour. The bus was huge and very comfortable . We had a generous amount of time at the war memorials. We highly recommend!
This is an excellent mini tour of the memorials and stops for pictures at the capital and White House. They are very accommodating. I booked this tour for a day later then I wanted to by accident but they said still come you can do it today. We were only in town for one day on my daughter’s spring break and we weren’t flexible. We were on foot and were hurrying to get to the meeting point because we were running behind. The bus waited for us. The driver was so nice and friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He even made a special stop at a restroom for me and my daughter. I would highly recommend this tour if you are short on time but still want to see everything.
I enjoyed the tour. I got to see a lot around the city and the famous places.. he was great and knowledgeable of things around
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this small tour company during our visit to Washington, DC! From start to finish, everything was seamless and enjoyable. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights about each site we visited. He also went above and beyond to accommodate my older parents, showing flexibility and care to ensure they were comfortable throughout the tour. The bus was clean and comfortable, making the ride between stops very relaxing. We were able to see all the top landmarks in DC, and the itinerary was perfectly planned to maximize our time without feeling rushed. This tour exceeded our expectations in every way, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! If you’re looking for a personal, informative, and accommodating way to explore DC, this is the way to go. Thank you for an unforgettable day!
