We took this nighttime tour the day we arrived in DC. It was a good overview of the monuments in case we don’t get back to all of them during our time here. We hit the highlights and our guide, Bridgette was excellent! So knowledgeable and friendly. She loves her city and history and it definitely shows. Wish we could have spent a little more time at a few of the stops. Overall a great tour.

I have travelled extensively and love taking guided coach tours as a way to learn interesting and/or lesser known facts about an area and its history. When en route from one stop to the next on this particular tour, the guide was silent 80% or 90% of the time. What spiel he had to give, he gave at each site, making passengers decide between exploring the monument/memorial or standing in a cluster to listen to what he had to say. The stops never allotted more than 20 minutes, but often less time, from disembarking to re-boarding the bus. The guide and driver were obviously not used to working together, as I gathered by overhearing a few their conversations, during one of which the guide asked the driver repeatedly for her phone number, which she was compelled to repeat three times, each time more loudly than the last, until I'm fairly certain every passenger heard it. I must say that the bus driver did an excellent job maneuvering such a large vehicle smoothly and safely through such busy streets. As a person already fairly familiar with Washington, D.C., the bare bones information provided by the tour guide did less disservice to me than to anyone who may have been visiting this gorgeous city for the first time. I also found it unseemly for the guide to have emphatically solicited for tips as we returned to the Navy Memorial. The sign on the wall of the bus that informed guests that tips were accepted and split evenly should have been left to stand on its own. I truly cannot recommend this tour.

Dear Customer, We are sorry to hear that your experience was not the best, we would appreciate it if you would give us an opportunity to reverse this experience either in the cities of Washington DC or New York and we invite you to see our new fleet of buses and convertible Mercedes, likewise these practices have left aside since new procedures have been implemented for the hiring of tourguides, unfortunately some tourguides as people have a different temperament,

We had a great tour of the monuments with Nick. He was very knowledgeable on DC history and very funny! He was kind with all the people and fun loving. He was also very efficient and gave good instructions at each location.
