Loved it! Very informative- Steve was great. It was nice having a small group. Very enjoyable! Highly recommend!
Despite the lousy weather, Dean did a great job getting us to the Memorials and offered us the opportunity to get out and snap some wonderful pictures. He really knew what he was talking about and really seemed to like his job.
The driver was very hospitable and knowledgeable . He took us to each of the cites we expected to see and talked along the way with historical backgrounds on what we were seeing. Then he got us as close as he could to each one, and most of them we got to get out and walk around and photograph. Delightful.
This tour provides a way to see all of the big monuments in a short amount of time. Our guide, Rich, was very knowledgeable and communicated very well. The timing and pace of the tour is excellent.
Rich was an outstanding tour guide during our trip to Washington, D.C. His knowledge of the city's history, landmarks, and hidden gems made every stop both interesting and memorable. He was engaging, personable, and always willing to answer questions, making sure everyone felt included and informed throughout the tour. What truly set Rich apart was how much he genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience. At the end of a long day, he went out of his way to make an extra stop so we could see the iconic White House at night. It was a special moment that many of us will never forget, and it showed his dedication to ensuring our group experienced the very best of Washington, D.C.
