Very friendly and knowledgeable guide, well managed tour. Hygienic bus and humour in subject worth the money

JordanFrancis_D

I consider this a not to be missed. I had limited time in DC and this ticked so many boxes. The quick access into the Capitol and national archive buildings was ideal. Tour was informative with good energy. Ticked off so many landmarks. I would have perhaps liked to have stopped at the US Marine Corps monument which is the only slight negative , but otherwise everything else is ticked. Brittney and driver (sorry I can’t recall name) but both were excellent!

My family enjoyed our tour of D.C. very much. But I don’t think it would have even been the same had we not had Nick as our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable of the city and the history. You could tell he really loved his job. Nick went over and beyond to take care of those of us on his tour making sure everyone was enjoying their tour. He was very patient and showed so much care and concern for an elderly couple who had mobility issues and even for others that we encountered not even on our tour. We also had an amazing bus driver who kept us amused with his life stories. The two made such a great pair. I would definitely take this tour again.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I learned some new and interesting things. Both he and the driver were professional and courteous. The entire tour surpassed what I was hoping to get out of it.

Nick and Calvin were great. We had some mobility issues and they went out of their way to take care of us. And yes, we would use that tour company again.
