History come to life
The experience of leaving New York and seeing the brutal contrast with a city like Washington is highly recommended. The meeting point is easy to find, our guide DAVID was very professional and had a surprise in the form of a view that he saved for the end of the activity.

Amazing Experience
This was such a great trip. I would highly recommend. Tania was a great guide. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She taught me a few things i didn't know about some of the sites and monuments we visited. She also took the opportunity to try to engage with each guest. I enjoyed every bit of my trip. Shout out to Diego our driver who got us safely to and from NYC to DC and back. Kudos to both Tania and Diego.

Fun American Historical Tour
It was an amazing experience and our English speaking Columbia Native Tour guide did a wonderful job informing us of everything that we passed by and was stated on the itinerary. The only complaint I would have is the ride back was a little warm. It was partly my fault because I didn’t ask them to turn on the AC to give us airflow in the bus, but is something I recommend and suggest they always have going on in the heat of the summer nights with a bus full of people. I would definitely recommend this bus tour and company as the tour guides both Spanish and English and the bus driver made the tour easy to understand, gave new historical information and it allowed us to get out of the hustle of NYC for the day to experience rich American culture.
