A great way to see the main sights of Washington. Very special to be able to do it in the evening - much cooler and the monuments are beautiful at night.
Loved this experience. Small group was really nice. Great way to get around DC vs big bus tour. Our guide was great. Easy to fine meeting location.
Best tour! Lorenzo was our guide and he was knowledgeable, kind and funny. We loved the open air and small group experience and being able to stop/explore/keep going easily. We saw so much of the city and it was really beautiful at night. We had a challenge getting to the meet up spot on time because of road closures with the Indy race and Lorenzo problem solved and picked us up on the way so that we didn’t miss the tour. We are so thankful for his flexibility and highly recommend this tour!
Very knowledgeable tour guide and selection of sites for an evening of charming views and informative content about our nation’s history and relevance. Driver safety was paramount.
The tour is fine BUT do not book this expecting to be in the vehicle shown. I was in a basic red golf cart — NOT the vintage vehicle shown. Clearly deliberate FALSE ADVERTISING and really upsetting when I’d promised my kid a tour around DC in a vintage car. They’re con men who deliberately mislead for profit. Book an actual vintage tour NOT one from this company.
First, driver was awesome!! Lots of details and extra bits. You could tell he loved sharing the city with us. The drawback for me and the reduction in stars is bc we were seated backward. Because of this we were full sun most of the 2 hours which is unfortunate. The fast parts were better bc of the breeze of course. I think we should have been made aware of this possibility. In my case, having my elderly mom made this a lot more challenging. The driver did often remind us that the buildings he was speaking about would be on the opposite side. Overall I would not go again if this was a known factor unless I was sitting forward.
Tour was amazing! Ron was a great guide! Highly recommend!
The loading and unloading process was easy . The tour itself was fairly mid . The guide was full of knowledge not very entertaining as I had hoped for . Basically a golf cart ride around DC . Would definitely just map it out and ride bikes next time . Golf carts are live in traffic and traffic was terrible .
Our tour guide Reggie was very interesting and made me want to listen more. The most memorable part was when he was telling us about the Supreme Court. I am a child and he made it interesting for me and I got a question right and I won a prize.
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Reggie was excellent. He knew so many facts and was very interesting. You can tell he loves his job. The only thing that wasn’t great is the pick up/drop off location at night.
