Enjoyed our guide & her knowledge of the city. We wish things would've been better lighted & maybe 5 minutes more time at each stop. Felt very rushed & didn't get to totally enjoy the sights.

My family of 4 (husband, myself and 2 boys ages 15 and 12) did this tour last night. It was a very good overview of the monuments. You don’t spend a whole lot of time at each place, but enough to go though and see them. They aren’t going anywhere, so it’s easy enough to decide if there’s somewhere you want to come back through after the tour. Guide was knowledgeable, fun and the 3 1/2 hours went by very quickly- it was worth it as well just to be driven to the sites- not having to park a car ourselves or find an Uber every time we wanted to go to a new monument. Nighttime is a really neat way to see some of these places and I got some great pictures. Would recommend.

Visited DC with my college age granddaughters, which they chose as a destination for their spring break trip. Took this tour in the evening just a couple of hours after we arrived, having made a 7 hour road trip to DC. We learned so much from our incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide Jamal and enjoyed our helpful driver Keith. The tour was extremely well organized, with the participants hearing clear directions as to the length of each stop and where the bus would be. One piece of information I would share with potential tour takers is that there is a considerable amount of walking involved in order to get the maximum benefit from the tour.
