Highly recommend on first day of your visit to DC
Fantastic overall experience! There is so much ground to cover in Washington, DC, and I can’t imagine a better way to get a quick introduction to the city. The electric cart was very comfortable, and Lorenzo, our guide, was super friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. This tour did exactly what I was hoping for on our first day in DC. It gave us a great sense of where the major sites are located and the distances between them, which made it much easier to plan the rest of our stay. There is obviously far too much to see in a two-hour tour, so you don’t spend a lot of time at any one site—which is completely understandable. For us, the value was getting a comfortable, informative overview of the city and its major landmarks before exploring them in more depth on our own. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially for your first day in Washington, DC.

National monuments and highlights
The booking and information listed was easy to read and understand. Lorenzo was an amazing tour guide. So glad I participated in this event.

Reason why I would not book again..
We enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on all things DC. However, he was very rude to my husband (who is the nicest person ever) whenever he asked questions. The tour guide’s answers were passive aggressive and not kind. I believe we would have had a better experience if we would have had a different tour guide. Maybe he was having a bad day.. I don't know.. but it definitely affected our tour. I would not book again. The tour guide was Reggie.

security precautions did not allow close access to either the White House or Capital building. Not the guide's fault.
