Sam our tour guide was AMAZING! He and Antonio were a great driver/guide team, and the information given was informative, fun, on point, and enjoyable for all ages. We had a full group, and Sam kept us on time and entertained from start to finish. Great stops at Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, MLK Memorial, Vietnam, and so many more. This truly was a fun way to learn DC history, quickly see parts of the city, and map out favorites to go back and visit. And the highlight was the personality and fun of Sam leading the way. We've taken lots of tours all over the world - this is a good one.

Fantastic tour!! Derek the guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Alicia the driver was very helpful for a woman in the group who was in a wheelchair. Highly recommend this tour for visitors and residents who want to take in the monuments and learn something.
