5.00The tour was great for my family of four. Ken is great at navigating the city, and knows so much! Perfect day tour for having two teens. The trip overall was amazing. It was cold, but the accommodations were great. Ken is very friendly and professional.

5.00The operator and owner was super in every way. First, I was late to the pickup point due to the traffic, so he waited for me. Secondly, I got turned around and went to the wrong corner so when I called him he said stay put I will come to you. The van was clean, modern, and he had cold water on a warm day. He was patient and engaging. Well worth the money I paid. He even took pictures of our family. All the sites were the most sought after in DC. and he was very knowledgeable of DC history. Wonderful start to a great 4 day vacation!

5.00Ken provided great information for each of the monuments and memorials visited. He has good historical knowledge. My niece and I were lucky enough to be the only people booked for the tour, so it was a private tour. Ken gave us a bonus site visit as a result of us being back to the van before the scheduled departure time. It was an extremely hot day and the van was fully air conditioned and he had ice cold water available. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour.
Great tour!
