Highly recommend. We had Mark for a tour guide. Our morning was a little rough, as it sometimes goes with children. He was very patient despite us arriving 15 minutes later. He saved us a FREE parking spot since we aren't staying directly in DC. We saw everything listed and I honestly don't know how we could have done it all without this tour. He dropped us off right in front of everything, with short walks to the perfect photo op spots. We had stops at the White House, Tidal Basin, Jefferson Memorial, MLK Memorial w/ more beautiful pictures of the cherry blossoms, the Korean War memorial, the Capitol, the Marine Corp memorial, Lincoln Memorial/National Mall, and Arlington Cemetery where we walked to see JFK's gravesite and Robert E. Lee's home (in the background). Mark was very knowledgeable and even gave us helpful hints for other plans we have during our stay. I will be recommending this tour to anyone who comes to DC. It is totally worth the money.

Great way to see the sights and skip the group bus tours. They drop you off at each stop so no worries to find parking. 4 hours was not enough time built in for all the stops they listed if you consider traffic or detours. We were power-walking or even running to see the sights and still had to skip 3 stops in order to accommodate seeing the tomb of the unknown soldier which is a 25-minute hike up the hill at Arlington National Cemetery (worth it to see the changing of the guards that happen on the hour). Knowledgeable drivers who offer water. Not a big deal, but we had a Chrysler Pacifica mini-van (not the black luxury SUV pictured in the add). Also, we called to confirm he told (not asked) that we had to move our tour up 30-minutes to accommodate a tour after us. Overall, would probably still do it again and just spend more time seeing more of the stops we wanted to do, on a different day when we could dictate the time without sacrificing skipping stops.
