Tour guides were awesome and the bus was brand new. This would have been 5 stars but we really needed more time at stops. Otherwise awesome time and experience.

Seeing these monuments in the day is a great experience, but seeing them at night is breathtaking! We are blessed to live in such a beautiful nation and we owe it to those who gave it all to protect it and to those that have been willing to-the military.

This was a good tour. The guide, Linwood, was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts in a clear, even pace without being to verbose, which I appreciated. The bus was clean, the seats comfortable, and our driver, Kelly, did a great job keeping the drive steady and smooth. I highly recommend this tour, guide and driver. The only downside is that most of the monuments were not well-lit (which was no fault of the tour company, but the national park service). I mention this bc we did the evening tour and it was difficult to see clearly and especially hard to take photos in that lighting at night.

You are able to see the high spots in this tour. You can go back in the daytime to better appreciate some of these locations.

Tanya (driver) and Tyrone were amazing. Friendly, polite, professional, and entertaining. I took a similar tour 3 years ago and it was mediocre compared to Tanya and Tyrone.

We were undecided about what to do on our first 1/2 day in Washington DC. This experience was perfect. We were able to book the trip about 2 hours before it started. We got to experience a lot of locations in a short amount of time. Tyrone, our tour guide, was really funny & Chris, the driver, got us to each place safely. The bus was air conditioned really well. All three of us (including a teenage boy) enjoyed our time touring DC.
