Yohanes was very knowledgeable about DC. He was flexible with our pick-up time and location. We enjoyed touring in this manner. It was so efficient!
Thanks and see you next time
Johannes was an exceptional guide! Courteous, informative, and so kind to my 8 yr old daughter. Took time at each monument, allowed ample photo opportunities, helped daughter line up perfect shots and kept the history of the experience enjoyable.
Thanks and see you next time
The very best way to see the monuments. Our driver was amazing! He was knowledgeable and so accommodating to our group!
looking forward to serve you again
Traveled with my parents and children our ages ranging from 75-7. We all had a great time! This was a great way to see all the top sites in DC, get in some good photo ops, and even learn a little bit of history along the way! My son was surprised when the tour ended because he was having so much fun and he thought the 2.5 hours went by too fast! We all loved every minute of it!
Honer to give a service for all ages
Our tour guide, Youhanas, is extremely knowledgeable! He is a professor that told us soooo much! We covered miles of territory around DC and he let us get off and on as much as we wanted. He was nice , funny, friendly, and a great driver! The tour is AMAZING and so is he! Five starts to him and our experience!!
Greatfull for your comment and looking forward for next time
It was a great activity! The tour guide was funny and very knowledgeable! We learned a lot of history and things we didn’t know he was able to answer. Yohannes was very attentive to our needs asking if we wanted to stop for photos and even a bathroom break! I would definitely do this again!
Thanks very much and looking to have you more.
I have had writing a review on my to do list for many months. This was a great great great experience that we had in October. The hotel concierge suggested Dr. Y and I am glad they did. He met us at the restaurant we booked prior and was kind to us when we had to rebook due to dinner getting moved to a different spot. No hassle and an easy text exchange. He picked up our family and took us to all the beautiful photo stops in the DC area. It was me, our son, my husband, and my parents. My dad had a lot of questions and Dr. Y knew them all. Going private was the way to go as we weren’t rushed and he customized the tour based on our interests and needs. My son loved the gold cart ride and we loved all the photos of our family.
Very knowledgeable and accommodating. It was cold and he had blankets. Very kid friendly atmosphere.
Seeing all the monuments and capital and white house. Private tour was the best. Like it better than group tour
Thanks and looking forward in the future.
