This is a very comfortable, informative tour with a hospitable, knowledgeable guide & driver. I really appreciated the attention to detail, the punctuality & the complimentary water bottles along the way!
My son and I were visiting from the UK and we quite lucky to be the only ones on Steve’s tour that day. I was impressed by the communication maintained even before we had arrived in the US- an enail and a WhatsApp text to confirm the tour and meet-up site with directions. Steve’s van was very comfortable and clean, equipped with water, charging cables and umbrellas that he intuitively offered without being asked. I was impressed with his depth of knowledge (no surprise since he used to be a history teacher), dry wit, patience when we took slightly longer at a few stops and his respectful manner and kindness. He also offered to drive us to Georgetown as that’s where we had planned to go after our tour and recommended the best places to eat and shop at. I’ll definitely call Steve again when I’m in DC next. This tour is highly recommended and completely worth the money. Thanks again, Steve.
Everything was great! Steve was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond with any questions we had.
This tour excursion was excellent. From the driver to the presenter we enjoyed it. He explained everything. So detailed.
Safe driver…air conditioned van…very knowledgeable tour guide….comfortable van…and they gave us free water bottles during the tour to keep us cool. Steve is a great tour guide…he knows a lot about Washington, DC. Both he and his partner (the driver of the van) were very courteous and friendly. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Washington, DC.
Thank you for a wonderful DC tour and experience, Rich!
Informative and fun tour. Our guide was pleasant and was able to navigate through the challenging construction and road work.
Great communication. We were never wondering where to meet, who to look for or what time. Very comfortable, clean van waiting conveniently at the Grand Hyatt that has the main metro station. Our guide was Steve. He’s a local, raised in DC at Georgetown and has been doing tours for a long time. I could tell that by the incredible amount of knowledge he has about the DC area. He answered everyone’s questions and didn’t miss a beat. He troubleshooted a road closure like only a local could. He’s smart, down to earth and very likable not to mention safety and customer satisfaction conscious. There was also a driver, whose name I didn’t catch, who works great as a team with Steve. He’ll stay with the van so anything you don’t want to lug around stays safe. He hands out as many waters as you want and makes sure you’re aware of the dangers of dehydration. They handle the van door for you, give you a hand out, and make you feel welcome and secure. It was an awesome tour and it really made our stay in DC memorable. Thank you gentlemen!
Dean is the best! We learned so much and really enjoyed the opportunity to learn and see all of the memorable monuments.
Dean was the best. He took us on a magical tour. My husband and I highly recommend him. As a vet he provides a special, heartfelt perspective on many of the sites.
