Our tour guide James was so knowledgeable. He worked really hard to make sure we all learned about the monuments and he is passionate about history. The bus driver Chris went out of his way to make sure everyone got where they needed to go at the end.

To begin with, the bus was not where we were expecting (next to the naval memorial), it was across the street by the archives which created a little confusion & caused us to wander around for a bit trying to find which tour bus was ours. The amount of time we were told we would have at each stop was not always accurate, one stop we left a full 5 min before we were told. The bus also moved from where he dropped off to where he picked up, so unless you stayed within earshot/eyesight of the guide the entire time, you wouldn’t know where to go or when. I was very disappointed that we didn’t stop at the Jefferson Memorial. IMO it is one of the best in DC. None of the stops were for very long, so it was hard to actually take them & enjoy them. Felt like our guide spent more time telling us what a great guide he was than about the places. This was my third time, but some of our group’s first- Overall it was fine, just wished it was better.
