This was my wife & I's first trip to Washington DC, and our guide Donna really enhanced our appreciation of the Mall and the Memorials she took us to (Washington, Lincoln, WW2, Korea, Vietnam). She was clearly very knowledgeable yet she always spoke with us in a very easy-to-understand way. I would highly recommend this tour, and any other tour led by Donna.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I wasn't sure where to meet so I called the company. The company gave the guide and phone number and we were able to talk/text putting my mind at ease. She even provided recommendations for dining.
