Wonderful way to discover Washington DC

We did the 6 hour tour. A great way to get around all the important memorials. We appreciated time at all stops for commentary and to get those all important photographs. Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. He had great voice projection at the outdoor sights so that all could hear. Our driver was very skilled and careful. While we enjoyed the relaxed river cruise, you could probably better spend your sightseeing time doing something else especially if you are short on time.

Southward quality, northward price

I have used this same viator tour previously few times. Quality was much better on previous occasions. Guide used to guide personally, walk to each monument, point out historical facts, thoughts behind particular statue or engravings, special events happened in past. This time tour guide gave information about each place in the bus and dropped us there to explore on our own instead of walking with us and explaining. And please don’t blame this change on COVID as guide himself said he is young and healthy, doesn’t wear mask. I paid money for guided tour but this one was not

Great Tour to Take

The tour was really informative. Our tour guide and the driver were really good and she, our guide, knew a lot of the history of DC. Our pass included tickets to go up to the top of the Washington Monument, which was breathtaking. Since we were the only 2 with tickets the bus just drove off and we had to find our own way back to the meeting point where we parked. Approx 2 miles. The only bad part was that.

Best Tour of Our Lives

Every minute of the tour was WONDERFUL, from our tour guide and driver, to all the History we now know. So many sites that it definitely paid for itself. Going up in the Washington Monument was breathtaking. Well worth the ticket price.

I apologize for the incident as that it is something out of our control; due to us not knowing the surrounding circumstances of your denial entry as you were provided with all necessary items and time to enter the facility. We will look into the matter and keep in mind for future reference. I hope we have the chance to serve you in the future, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional concerns.

Great tour

Great tour with Jana and Ali. Jana is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Just enough time at each stop to be interested and not bored with too much time there. Bonus was being able to see the presidential motorcade go by at the end of the tour. Only advice for parents would be to pack snacks and lunch as the tour is 4 hours over lunch time, luckily we were prepared.
