Sally and Godfrey are amazing 👏 very nice and knowledgeable. We were able to see all the attractions and have lunch. No one was left. Godfrey made sure that everyone was accounted for.

brannap2023

We were bused around to many of the great monuments while our guide, Sally, kept up a constant stream of information. My husband wasn't able to join us until we were at our first stop (they did their utmost best to get him on our tour) and parked near there. Godfrey, the driver, kindly took our family over to our parking spot afterward. Above and beyond! My whole family enjoyed the tour, and that's saying something! I was grateful to be able to see the various sights without having to walk it all, and the night views of many of the monuments were gorgeous. I also loved that this tour was offered during the evening when the museums were closed to maximize our time.

Although it was a very hot September day, we enjoyed the tour as best we could. Our driver and guide. Chris and Tyrone, were courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was a very educational and fun experience. Giving us time and options for lunch (including Tony and Nick's right on the water) were very nice. The disappointment to me was the river cruise. The vessel was old, dirty, and cramped. There were a lot of people on-board and it was a hot afternoon. I was looking forward to the water part of the tour the most, but, unfortunately, it was a disappointment.

Diane_K

Sally was very knowledgeable and personable. The driver Chris, did a great job maneuvering the busy DC streets. All in all a wonderful experience.

Tyrone was an amazing tour guide. This tour allows you to get on and off and discover the sites of DC at your leisure the boat ride at the end was the cap off for such a long day. My 8 year old who is a history buff loved every moment of it

triciat511

We had only been to Washington DC once and had never taken a tour. Our guide Sally was so knowledgeable and could answer and questions thrown at her. She was also a lot of fun to be around. Take this tour! Also Kris got us to each of the monuments with ease. Hats off to the duo that we were lucky enough to be with.

Peter_F

Sally and Chris, our tour guide and driver, were great! Wonderful commentary and safe transportation.

Shaikidon

the guide was perfect. do not remember the name but he had a hat (a fairly big guy) - very knowledgeable, very friendly and funny. it is a long tour - more than 6 hours but covers every thing required for overall sight seeing. do not miss the boat ride - interesting.

myerliz

Tyrone was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide, and the driver (Chris, I think), did a good job. Just the right amount of stops, and we enjoyed the boat ride too. Everything was timed well. I highly recommend this tour.

Melanie_R

I had a problem with the tour and have contacted both the operator and Viator with no help. I have yet to be able to explain the issues to either of them. I DO NOT recommend this tour company at this point. They will not pick you up at your hotel (even if it is on the preferred list) so that is a ridiculous offer, they were not on time (30 minutes of sitting on the bus with no explanation) so we moved very quickly through the sites (you do not get 15 minutes as listed) and we did not get any introduction or instructions as to how the tours and sites will go. If you get our guide and stay on the bus when your family is seeing the site, you will get to hear her tell the semi full bus about how dumb people are, how they dont listen or follow her vague instructions, how she will leave and they will have to find their way to the next stop and how they obviously dont know how to follow directions. She will also be sure and repeat those comments with her microphone on and embarrass your children when they were 1-1/2 minutes late of her "glorious" 11 minute timeline. Don’t do it – this is not luxury it is a bus and I could not sit facing forward with my knees closed. I am 5’8” .
