Fascinating and fun experience!

It was a great experience and fun adventure. Definitely better to see some of these monuments at night with the special lighting. Definitely less crowds and commotion. The weather was beautiful and traffic was not bad. Our Guide was gracious and had a lot of knowledge in history. She gave us enough time at scheduled stops to snap photos and made recommendations. I would definitely recommend to sightseeing visitors. Washington, DC is quite inspirational and gave me a better idea at how historical this place is. Rated this experience, Five Stars *****

Operator response

Great tour for a large...

Great tour for a large group with limited time. We were 12 of us and enjoyed this tour. Kevin was an excellent guide. Even the rain did not dampen the fun.

A day in DC!

Though it was raining, we still managed to enjoy the tour. Our tour guy was excellent. He was knowledgeable, gave us time to hop off the cart and take pictures at some of the historical sites. Talking about Alexander Hamilton was the highlight of our tour and my two daughters are very big fan. They were over the moon.

Operator response

Quick efficient tour!

We loved that it was a quick tour since we only had one night in DC. The ecart did have 3 people on each bench seat so it was a bit tight so you may want a different tour if you are on the bigger side. It was a quick information on each sight not a lot of information which worked for us. Our guide also had a heavy accent so it was a bit hard to understand but he was super nice and helpful

Operator response

Thank you, Bobbi_B, for sharing such thoughtful and honest feedback! We’re glad the shorter format worked well for your one night in DC and gave you a chance to see the key sights without taking up your whole evening. We also appreciate your note about the seating and understand how three guests per bench can feel a bit snug. We’ll certainly keep that feedback in mind. We’re happy to hear that our guide was kind and helpful throughout the tour, and we truly appreciate you choosing to explore DC with us!
