Best tour quide Sally. Made tour interesting by explaining history anecdotes and seems to really love her job. Best bus driver Godfrey. Helpful kind I felt safe. I had a walker he took on and off bus for me. And they patiently waited as I was a little slower at times. The rain just prevented some stops and pictures through window did not come out great but a great attitude by all. And alternate routes taken to give best photo opps especially at Lincoln memorial. Thank you, Cathy S, Sarasota FL

Great tour and our tour guides were excellent! Trey made sure we arrived safely and changed the order of our route to avoid the crowds. Sally was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. They both allowed our tour to go longer than the allotted time to ensure we had a five star experience. Seeing the monuments lit up at night was a great experience and highly recommended.

Loved this night time tour! Sally and Godfrey were so wonderful! So much interesting information and they would do little extras and make sure we were getting the best amount of time at the stops. Seeing all the moments and memorials lit up at night is a must and doing this tour with Sally and Godfrey made it so easy and fun! Highly recommend!!
