1.00We had an older tour guide who had to speak into the microphone, and if you were not standing no more than 5 feet away from him- YOU COULDNT HEAR ANYTHING!!! The walking speed of this tour was INSANE!!! We had multiple people just stop, because they couldn’t keep up! And all that walking was while talking and squeezing through the crowds! Besides the guide mentioning “of there is a cherry blossom tree” there was NOTHING ABOUT CHERRY BLOSSOMS this tour is about monuments!!! Which is ok… but he kept repeating useless information time after time… so 7 hours of him talking nonstop… and running… nothing registered in the memory at all Except for running and trying to catch up….
The perfect tour for Washington D.C.'s monuments and sites!

5.00We had a fantastic time on this tour! We saw so many of the country's most important and fascinating monuments and the beautiful City. Our tour guide, Sally, and our bus driver, Valerie, were amazing. Sally is so knowledgeable, and she shared a wealth of information in a manner that was both fun and entertaining. Our tour occurred at the very peak of cherry blossom season, a time of year that is both incredibly beautiful and logistically challenging. The crowds and traffic were unbelievable and created numerous challenges for the tour's busy schedule!! Sally and Valerie were extremely flexible and handled them deftly. They adjusted the order and duration of the stops, over and over again, ensuring that we saw and enjoyed everything!! Valerie's skills as a driver were tested repeatedly - and she was just astounding! The boat ride on the Potomac River was beautiful and fun, capping off a wonderful day. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
Terrible miscommunication, negligence

1.00We hoped to enjoy this tour but , after booking, paying, giving a glowing review to the booking agent Edward Robert from Viator, and coming to the bus ahead of time , we never had to experience it, because the agent or the system never sent information to the provider, we were not on the list of passengers and the bus was already filled with other tourists. There was not a single space left on the bus and we needed three, so we were denied access. The same situation happened to the other family. The next day we had to fly back home, so - no, we definitely did not enjoy our experience.
Tour and ferry ride-very enjoyable!
