5.00I had one evening to be a tourist after working in the DC area all week. Took the monuments tour to hit as many sites as possible at one time. Not only did the tour stop at each site I hoped to see, I also learned a lot about the history of the town / attractions that I never knew from several previous trips. Highly recommend this tour! Rochelle (tour guide) was very personable and made this a fun experience.
Fun night tour!

3.00The bus was very comfortable. It was hard to see the sites James was describing to the tour group. We were far from the White House and Vietnam War Memorial needs to be seen during the day. It was difficult to hear James even with his intercom and speaker. When the group was walking the people in the back couldn’t hear. Even if we tried to stay close, there was just to many people. James is very knowledgeable and friendly His red light up light saber that helped us find him at the Lincoln Memorial. . Next time I’ll take a smaller group tour with a company that offers golf carts or smaller vehicles.
