DC Monuments and Capitol Hill Tour by Electric Cart

Overview
See Washington DC’s major sites in a fun, unique way – aboard an electric cart! As you explore Capitol Hill, see famous monuments and landmarks including the White House, US Capitol Building, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Smithsonian and more. These eco-friendly, all-electric vehicles let you enjoy the fresh air while admiring great up-close views of DC's major locations and off-the-beaten-path areas. You'll also hop off your cart to explore some areas by foot.

This is a small group experience, with each electric cart limited to a max of 7 people. Whilst we do our best to seat groups together, we aren’t able to guarantee to seat together and at times groups may be asked to sit on separate carts.

I am so very sorry to say this was not a great tour for us. The guides were very nice. With that said, the list below highlights the things that made it poor for us. Hope they help you to pick the right tour for you! Let me first start by what I expected. I expected to learn interesting things about the sites and I expected it to be a bit flexible as to the stops and time spent (I thought we had a private tour, which we did not). The guide tried to be as flexible as allowed by the tour process (schedule, script, tight timeline). He did drop us off at the restaurant instead of the originating spot. * They give you audio devices so you can hear the driver. Yet, on a windy day, you cannot hear due to the wind noise. * The guide has to stay with vehicle, so, when you physically walk to see the site, there are tidbits/facts/information. * Our guide wasn’t very knowledgable. He stuck to a script and outside of that, didn't know much. (Yet, he was super nice). * The time allotted at each stop is short. We didn’t have time to see the Korean + Vietnam War memorial and see Lincoln, for example, before it was time to leave. * This feels more like a taxi and not really a tour.

Our tour guide Barry was great. I think more time could have been spent seeing a few more monuments and less time spent at others.
