Our guide was great and assisted us to the group as we were running a little behind. I recommend the early tour at 8am on the weekends to beat the crowds. We saw the changing of guards and some historical gravesites. Highly recommend.

Since it was Memorial Day we weren’t able to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the rest of the trip seemed basic, something we could’ve done without paying. Wasn’t worth the money, a bit disappointed. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable.

A place you always have to visit when in Washington DC. Unfortunately our guide was in rush and not very informative. We repeated the tour with someone else.
