I highly recommend this to her. It is at night so sometimes a little difficult to see Washington but my coworkers and I only had one free night while we were here on business. The tour was fantastic.Duayne was our tour guide and he was phenomenal. He was energetic and knew a lot about everything. He was showing us. Chris was our driver and even dropped us off near a restaurant where we had reservations at the end of the tour.
