Our tour with Ron was unbelievable! First, he picked us up 10 minutes before the tour and called us to make sure we knew where to go and were ready. There was an unfortunate circumstance where several roads were closed unexpectedly, but Ron was extremely flexible and adapted the whole tour based on what was open. He then worked hard to get us an additional one hour tour the following day so we could see some of the monuments we had missed the first day. For that tour, he went above and beyond, showing up on his day off to take us to see the monuments , which were amazing. He acted as historian, trivia quizzes, skilled and adaptable tour guide and photographer, an he has a wealth of knowledge about the history of DC. We learned a lot on the tour, were extremely comfortable on our private ride around DC and had many photo ops. Ron even dropped us off at a restaurant that he knew we were planning to go to, saving us walking time in the heat. Ron gave us five star service every step of the way and we were lucky to have him as our generous tour guide!

My SIL found this company and booked the tour. We have a couple of people in our group that have difficulty walking so this was a perfect alternative. First off, they were able to accommodate the 11 of of which is a plus. We had 2 different cars, it allowed us enough room. Our guide Teddy was very good. He had a lot of knowledge and made it fun and interactive from the elementary age to Gen X. In the hot humid summer, this was best only way to see all of the sites. They made multiple stops at different sites and gave us in depth history and we were able to walk up to multiple sites that allowed for pictures. Many people along the way asked about this company and how they could do the same thing. I wish I knew about this years ago. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting. 5+ stars all the way!
