Fantastic family tour of DC Monuments: schedule with this company!

5.00Helga was an AMAZING tour guide for our large family with children. She was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of each location we visited and the history of each place. I am so pleased that we were able to tour with her and I would absolutely recommend her to ANY group. The large van we rented was spotless. It was such a treat to be able to visit so many monuments and historical sites within a short time, not having to worry about parking and unloading/loading our crew to visit each place. It would have taken triple or quadruple the time to accomplish the tour of the sites on our own. The family still talks about how great the tour was last month. Thank you again Helga!
Outstanding tour of Washington DC.

5.00Jessica was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were able to change the iterary a bit, and then spend plenty of time at the monuments while getting a good feel for the national mall and dowmtown areas broadly. Great way to start the DC trip, and know what to re-visit or do next.
Relaxing, easy and informative way to see DC highlights

- Review from Viator
5.00This tour provided us with a relaxing and stress free way to see many highlights of DC with a driver that taught us so much about every stop. The driver was also easy to communicate with before our tour began, Worth every penny and enabled us to save time so we could fit in other tours and sightseeing activities during our 4 day stay in DC. The driver Jessica gave us a wonderful experience.

5.00We had a multi-generational family with us on our tour. Helga did an amazing job customizing the tour for all of us! We saw so much of DC in 4 hours and she was always in the perfect spot to minimize our walking! She engaged my 12 year old and 76 year old parents! If in DC, I would do it again!
Amazing tour with Cliff!!!

5.00The tour was outstanding, and our tour guide was exceptional. She was so knowledgable, and went out of her way to make sure we were able to complete most of the itinerary, even though DC was crowded and some streets were closed due to Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommend!
