More walking than I...

4.00More walking than I expected. Last memorial hard to see the steps in the dark. Guide very knowledgable
Terrible guide

1.00The guide spent more time sharing her own opinions than giving historical/factual information. She did not leave the bus, we saw other guides with their groups sharing information about the monuments. We live here and have frequent visitors, we will not use this tour again because of the guide.
Perfect for solo travelers!

5.00Dwayne our tourguide was great! Really knew his history and was a pleasure to ride with. I was a solo traveler and still had a great time seeing all the sites lit up at night. Seeing the top monuments and memorials and buidings with someone giving you lots of history behind each one is SO much better than seeing them by yourself! Would recommend this tour to anyone!
Dewayne was amazing!!!

Disappinting night

3.00A scheduled event requiring street closures prevented us from making the listed attraction stops and drive-by(s) for night time viewing. Passengers walked for over an hour to view several monuments listed on the itinerary. The tour company should have known about this and made adjustments. The premier attraction, the White House, was screened-off limiting visibility and photo opportunity. Very disappointing. jw
Disappointed

2.00The President's wrestling event removed was overwhelming. It was impossible to feel the enormous historical experience one might expect by viewing our Nation's Monuments.

5.00There is more walking involved than I expected but it was worth it! Our guide was Dwayne. We were SO fortunate to be paired with him. He was a wealth of knowledge and very high energy. We had a brief storm at the beginning but it gave way to a fantastic rainbow!
Worth it 100%!

5.00This was truly an amazing experience, as we got to see many parts of the United States history that make our country what it is today! Our tour guide, Dwayne, and our bus driver, Tanya, added so much more to the experience than we could have asked for! Between the intricate details of information and facts, to their warm hospitality, this truly was an experience to remember! It was also the perfect balance between sitting inside of the air conditioned bus and driving around to see things, as well as getting out and walking around to see the monuments up close. Will definitely be returning in the future! 10/10 experience!
Fantastic!
