5.00Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, not only about the sites, but current and past politicos from each State. The tour was well paced, he was very good about keeping the group together and making sure we could all hear him. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone heading to DC.
Highly recommend

5.00My family of 10 took this tour on Sunday night. It was so much more than I expected. Tanya and Tyrone were our guides. They were phenomenal. They were friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. Tanya is an expert driving that bus especially with the amount of people who were out on the streets. Tyrone was so thorough in his narration. We learned about the places that are listed on the tour along with history of the area and fun facts about things we passed on the drive. He kept our kids entertained and engaged. There was plenty of time at each stop. There are a few bathroom opportunities. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Viewing the monuments at night was wonderful! We did a similar tour during the day and the evening tour was a very different visual and emotional experience. Dwayne was a fantastic guide, so personable, knowledgeable and his voice was so clear and audible. Highly recommend!

4.00Tour 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.

5.00Seeing 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.
Great tour, guide and driver

5.00This 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.
