The tour guide Tyrone was phenomenal. Great humor and great knowledge and great pacing. Chris the driver also very attentive and personable and professional. Did get a bit tired toward the last two stops because of the walking in 88° weather.
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.
GREAT narrated 3 hour tour hitting all the National Mall highlights. Ask for Sally and driver Godfrey. Sally was a wealth of trivia and knowledge. Godfrey can get that bus in anywhere! Day and night, DC is crawling with buses; other tour groups, TONS of junior high kids, etc. Sally and Godfrey have the autonomy to re-order stops based on current or anticipated crowds at any particular location, reducing wait time and still not missing anything - making for a more enjoyable and efficient tour. This is THE bus tour to see all the major monuments.

Check in was confusing. Optional, paid for vouchers, were not issued. Countless calls, texts, emails and chats were not helpful. We paid for a 3 hour tour but we were put on an 8 hour tour bus and dismissed after our 3 hours were up. Clearly our small 3 hour group was not a priority for the tour guide. When I asked him about our optional vouchers, he gave me a phone number and told to call and they would send them to me. No answer or return call. We never got any vouchers sent to us via email or text so that was all money wasted and we went back home. Signature tours were not helpful at all.
Lots of stops long enough to take lot lots of pictures. Friendly driver, excellent tour guide. Only reason it's 4 stars is that it clearly said it would drop us off at the Archives, and it did not, forcing my husband with cancer to walk farther than he should have to get back to our transportation.
we are very very sorry to hear that and we hope your husband feel better soon .about the dropping off after the cherry blossom or the morning tour have to be at the lincoln memorial because we have to go to the boat ride and lunch .please let us know the next time and we will take you back to the achieves and we make it exception for you and your husband please come back and next time will give you and your husband free morning or night tour thank you very much .
The tour was informative but we was expecting more to see as for getting a more feel and photos of all the monuments but overall it was nice experience.
Thank you for letting us know any way we give enough time to walk around and take pictures please try next time private tour
James our guide and Cris our driver were very accommodating. James was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information along the monument tour. He incorporated our background from Australia into the tour information. We wanted to stop to take photos which he was able to accommodate in our very small group. A pleasant, fast passed tour.

The small van tour was comfortable on a cold winter day and went to a lot of places of interest. You have enough time to learn about them and take photos. The tour guide Tyrone was a professional. He provided a lot of information and engaged each of us as we went along. It was awesome to stand and look out at the mall where Martin Luther King delivered his I Have a Dream speech.
