The tour guide & the driver was excellent, both were friendly, kind & humorous! Although, we encountered some rain they kept the tour fun & engaging. The vehicle was awesome, we were able to get a short time of sun. Overall, I would recommend this tour & maybe try it again on a “real sunny day”!

I am glad you had fun despite the rain. We think that the "Open-Top"s real value is the smaller group size which is a great perk regardless of the weather. Thanks for joining us! Share your memories with us on Instagram @usaguidedtours.

Yousef and Mr. Map were excellent hosts. Mr. Map's knowledge was impressive. Loved the smaller group and bus.

Great, informative and clear commentary. The monuments were wonderful and all we expected them to be. Were blessed with a beautiful autumn day so the colours provided an added bonus
