Our driver was Chris. He did a wonderful job. Vernon was our tour guide. He was a wealth of knowledge and did a spectacular job. Highly recommend him as he was friendly and informative.

Horrible service and extremely unprofessional tour company - PLEASE STAY AWAY We were very excited to see the tour after great experience in via Viator recommended tour in Niagara falls. Unfortunately, this was exactly opposite from get go. No communication via operator before the tour and I had to call multiple times to get the exact location. We reached by 9:45 but tour started at 10:20 as they had to get two buses..very confused folks who were managing the tour. When we entered the bus even though more than half of the bus was empty tour guided wanted me to sit away from family just because we were three saying we need to do this for people who will board the bus later which made no sense. Anyways as we go through the tour it was maddening hurry all the time like 10 mins or max 15 mins at each site. these are some great place and we would need bit more time. At Lincoln memorial guide did not communicate the time properly and when we reached the decided meeting spot we did not find the tour guide. Along with us we had another family which came all the way from Africa. We waited and I must have called more than 50 times to guide and tour operator office to know where they are and how can I catch them. No response and couple of time tour operator picked my call but always disconnected within 15 secs without giving me proper information regarding next or last destination details. All they would say "Georgetown Harbor" and when you search online you would not find any location by that name but you will see "Washington harbor" . I had to just guess and reach the location. Even after reaching tour operator provided me wrong restaurant and wouldn't answer my calls..Thanks to other cruise company who guided me to the correct location and given me the time for signature cruise ride on Potomac river. Again, it was the worst river cruise I had experienced. I have been to amazing cruise rides in Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Chicago, SFO, Thailand, Malaysia and many more.. It's just not worth it!! Don't waste your money please!! Even after the the cruise I just wanted to confirm if they will drop back in the city but answers from tour guide was extremely rude and harsh!! after paying $270+ I don't expect this kind of sick behavior. My recommendation is to take uber drive around the city as everything is very close and would cost nothing and you can see the same places in detail. Going with signature tour is the worst thing you would ever do.
