Driver/guide was very knowledgeable and kept the group engaged. We did a 4 hour tour. We were 2 families with 4 adults 4 kids. The minibus was very comfortable. Everyone learned a great deal as we drove around to the monuments and Memorials. The stops gave us plenty of time to explore the sites we wanted to see, including Lincoln, MLK, White House, Vietnam, WWII, Arlington Cemetery to see the changing of the guards, and more. Will definitely use them again.

Two tours were booked by the family. Emergency rose and requested a change so that tours could be combined into one. You refused hence one car had 6 people and one had 2. so We ended up paying for two vehicle at cost $840.00 As far as I am concerned this was a ripoff . would not recommend this company to anyone
