5.00The private tour was fabulous-air conditioned vehicle with lots of room and we could stop wherever we chose. Our guide, Cliff, was so knowledgeable and quite the historian. He knew things that even we, as DAR members who love history, did not know. He had cold bottles of water available and was very patient with helping us on and off the van. This was a great way to see DC in the most comfort possible!
The best way to tour DC!!
