We had a great time traveling through DC in comfort and learning about so many monuments! Our guide had knowledge beyond belief! He was professional, personable and friendly. He took our questions in a pleasant manner.

Our our tour guide was sick and therefore late picking us up. I do applaud him for fighting through it. There were only 5 or 6 of us on the bus, so plenty of space. He was very knowledgeable of the monuments and asked trivia questions. I think we skipped a stop due to his illness, so that was surprising when he pulled back up at the meeting spot with no warning. We didn’t get out to visit the Washington memorial, which I thought was the last stop. I totally would recommend this self explore tour…think it would’ve been better if the tour director wasn’t ill. I hope he feels better.

The experience is good and bad. The good part is that the driver/ guide is on time and did provide the service. The bad part is that the guide speaks with an heavy accent in fast speed. So I dropped out mentally half way after trying hard to understand what he was talking about. I think it was a self-guided tour.
