5.00Awesome tour… Ken was very informative, gave good instructions to ensure we maximized our stops and was very personable in a professional way. He gave his all and genuinely wanted us to enjoy DC. I’ve been on other tours, Ken just took us from good to great.
Best Monument/Memorial Tour!

5.00Our tour guide and driver, Kenneth, picked us up on time. He was there early if we would have had any problems. His truck was incredibly clean with waters and trash cans to meet our needs. He took us to all the monuments and gave us a wealth of knowledge and history about each one on the drive. At each site we were able to enjoy at our leisure, take photos, and then would meet back up with him. He was above and beyond excellent. His customer service and approachability was 10/10! I can’t recommend this tour enough. We went with my 6 children (ages 2-14) and it was perfect!!! We were able to see all the monuments in the allocated time and felt like we had really been able to spend all the time we wanted at each. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city and helped us navigate to enjoy more experiences! He really spoiled us!!! We cannot thank him enough for personally making our family’s trip wonderful! It couldn’t have been better. I would tell every person I know coming to DC to book this tour.
Great day in DC!

5.00Ken was a wonderful tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every place we stopped and also about general things along the way. The four hours flew by and seemed the perfect amount of time to spend learning so many new facts. My husband and I would definitely use his tour again!
4 hour tour- great!!
