After looking at several reviews we chose this tour for our 3 generation family of 9. We are so glad we did! It saved us the hassle of finding places on our own and we learned so much from our driver, Frank. He is terrific! Two in our family have trouble walking and climbing stairs and he was very helpful, including pointing out accessible paths and elevators. I'm sure if we had tried this on our own we would have seen only half of what we did on the tour. Also, the cold water and Frank keeping the air running while we got out to see the monuments was quite a relief in the summer heat. Best money we spent in D.C. Thank you for a wonderful day!
