Tour start time 10:30. Waited until 10:45. Tour bus made no contact about cancellations or delays!!!
Bus ran as scheduled
Unfortunately, as consistent Viator users…. We were disappointed with this DC tour. We booked this particular tour over others strictly because it gave us more time at each stop…. So we sacrificed stops for the time. First of all, our driver (who also happened to be the owner), was 15 minutes late picking us up at the pick-up spot. Then, the 20 minutes stops were consistently changed to 10 minute stops…. (Very difficult when you have to walk 5 minutes each way to the actual monument). Then, we didn’t even stop at all the stops listed on the tour itinerary. . We wish we would have done a longer tour with another company. We are hoping this was a one off thing for Viator, as we are typically thrilled with their tour’s & excursions.
We strive to make customers experience worthwhile.However with all the renovations going on at some of the memorials,in preparation for the 250th anniversary of our Nation we are limited to how long we can stay at each memorial..Thanks for your support.
Ali was so knowledgeable & engaged his guests throughout the tour with an empathetic approach (I got most of the questions wrong!). The bus was lovely & cool in between bursts of walking in 100+ heat.
Thanks for your review and business.
Absolutely wonderful. The driver covered the important stops on the list and added another one, the Jefferson memorial, that was requested. It was very cold and he made a stop for us for hot chocolate and coffee at Starbucks.
Thanks we appreciate your business.
It was a great experience. Able to see capitol up close but sad not able to see the white house bec of busy preparation for inauguration, but over all our tour guide was very good
Thanks for your business.
Clear and relevant information on each monument visited. Driver/owner was gracious and helpful. He made the tour as enjoyable as it was interesting,

Thanks for your business.
The experience was great. Tundey, our guide, was so knowledgeable and funny. The van was spotless and smelled really clean. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks for your business.
Dr. Zaheril was the tour guide and he was very thorough and patience. He’s very good at what he does. I’ll like him to be my tour guide again next time.
Thanks for your review.
Our drivers knowledge of all things DC was amazing and the way he shared it was perfect for my son who was visiting DC for the first time . Awestruck by the beauty of the monuments and the significance of the sacrifice at the war memorials . It was certainly a great cliff notes version of a taste of the city as we were limited on time
Thanks for your business.
