Loved this tour and our very informed and friendly guide. There is so much more meaning and symbolism packed into monuments and memorials than is apparent just by looking at them and reading inscriptions. Our guide also had great recommendations for other things we should do in our other days in DC. I'd take a tour with this company again

Our tourguide, Brittany, was fun, accommodating and knowledgable. I learned a lot about the monuments and presidents, including lots of scandals. Great fun! Small group!

Great way to see many of the monuments in one day with historical context provided by the driver. We had a beautiful sunny day which definitely added to the experience as everything is outdoors. Bus is comfortable (glass topped) and water was provided. Some of the stops could have been a bit longer (world ward 2 memorial and White House / Washington monument for sure) but I guess that’s a reason to go back. Lunch break was at the Pentagon mall and was way too long (an hour an forty minutes) . Tour ended at 3 pm not 4. All in all, a good way to see a lot of things when you only have a day as we did. It’s also a god way to get oriented for any future days you might have in the area.
