This is a rather intense walking experience. Be ready to cover 15-20,000 steps. With that said it is well worth it and truely the best way to cover D.C. in one day.

Be prepared DC is ever changing somethings .you may not be able to do because a King or President may be there and you can't go there but belive me there is so much to see and our tour guide went over and above to take us where he could. We saw so much packed into one day. There is alot of walking and step climbing..

John the bus driver was exceptional. He was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and super easy going. We got to see and do everything we wanted to do. I’d recommend this to friends and family.

On a whim, I purchased tickets for our family with children, to tour DC for the day. We have no regrets! Matt was amazing from start to finish, learning our children’s names the moment they got on the bus, engaging with them through the day, putting a movie on that was family-friendly on the way back, and even returning a forgotten souvenir to us (when I say he went the extra mile, I mean it literally and figuratively!). Additionally, he was full of knowledge and everyone learned so much. If you want to see a little bit of a lot, without the stress of navigating a busy city, this is the tour for you. We left DC having walked through Arlington, checked out many monuments and memorials, and getting some time to go into one of the Smithsonian museums on our own. We saw still more at a distance and heard engaging stories and history all throughout the day. It truly was a great experience for all of us, and I highly recommend it! Note: I would not recommend this for children under 7, as this is a very long day (15+ hours from start to finish). For the enjoyment of everyone involved, I’d stick with older children, especially those with a love of history.

Had a great trip to DC with our driver/guide Matt. He did a great job of getting us safely around DC. He added a lot of interesting information to each stop along the way.

Covers all major sites. Time to walk and see. Driver has tips and history. Did not just drive and dump us off.

Driver was friendly and personal. He lacked planning. Although the area was very busy with buses, we spent much unproductive time finding locations for one or two people. I have been to Washington DC before and visited many more points on interest on a full-day tour.

Our guide John Brown was wonderful. I can’t believe how he could drive that 40 foot bus through Washington DC traffic. He took us to all the major points of interest. I would definitely recommend people to leave the driving to John or Matt.
