Enjoyed the commentary provided by Sally and the night view of DC’s landmarks and monuments are breathtaking.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour. It would be our pleasure to have you join us again in the future! Malaak.
Kris & James were excellent to tour with. James was very knowledgeable and open to questions and teaching. Kris was very timely and helpful. The price for the tour felt very fair for the quality of tour. 3 hours was just the right amount of time. Seeing the Lincoln memorial at night is a must see.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that you had such a great experience with us. It means a lot to know you enjoyed your time exploring DC. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit! Malaak.
Extremely disappointed in this tour. Very liberal tour. From the man who organized us into a line to board the bus, who was more like a drill Sgt! He refused to answer questions just barked at us to get in line. Then the tour guide was very much like a liberal college professor who was attempting to indoctrinate the tour with her "all we want" bull crap. Never again!
Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience and will talk to the driver
Tyrone and Chris were excellent tour guides and drivers! I so appreciate them and their expertise!

Good for a first evening activity. A lot of stops but not enough time available at all stops. Good information from the tour guide. Would have liked to get the NPS stamps for the monuments. It would be helpful for the tour guide to point out the kiosks where you could get them at the stops where there was more time allowed.. I managed to snag two. It rained the entire time which made walking by the Korean War Memorial even more poignant.
Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your feedback! We hope your next trip to DC includes another tour with us! Malaak.
