1.00The guide (Bobby) was very opinionated and pushed his point of view, with many of his opinions not based in reality. He told us other customers had called him the GOAT, and he repeatedly "reminded" us that tips are appreciated. He couldn't read the room and must have assumed we were leftists who don't care about reality. After the second stop, all of us were ready for it to be over, which is sad because for some of the group it was the first time seeing DC. If you use this vendor, make sure you aren't assigned to Bobby (unless you see the world through very FAR LEFT glasses in which case you'd probably love him).
