Our most memorable part of the tour was Everything. It was awesome to see and visit all the monuments and historic buildings and learn about them at the same time. The tour would not have been so wonderful without Jackie, the tour guide and John the driver, they made a great team. I highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors.

The Lincoln, Martin Luther King and Vietnam War memorial were the most memorable part of our trip. We stood where Martin Luther King gave his memorable, "I have a dream..." speech. We also saw other veterans from Honor Flights visiting the Vietnam Memorial, and to be able to thank them personally for their service was awesome. Rob and Ms. Sunshine were great hosts.

Terry was an amazing guide. She is a great communicator who showed us around, took pics and even answered questions from us. This is a fast-paced tour that enables us to cover a lot of stops along with the cruise on the Potomac. 100% recommended. Would take same tour if I visit DC again with friends/family. Keep up the great work.

Our bus was 20 min late picking us up, and our tour guide kept us “grouped up listening” for longer than needed at each stop, so we had very little time to actually view the memorials and monuments. We did get to see multiple things, but we felt rushed through the entire experience, only having 5 or at most 10 min at each place.

Did the 4 hr memorial tour 2 months ago and went again with a different group of friends, it was a slightly different tour but still was a good experience, disregarding the rainy weather we had

Our guide was Kris Carter and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed his commentary very much and would recommend this tour highly.
