5.00We had a wonderful tour of Washington, DC and would highly recommend it. Melinda was an extremely knowledgeable guide who shared interesting historical facts and local insights throughout the day. One of the things we appreciated most was the flexibility of the tour. We were able to tailor the itinerary to focus on the sights that interested us most. The tour was very well organized and efficient. Melinda dropped us off at convenient locations near each attraction, which minimized walking and allowed us to see more in less time. Her professionalism, expertise, and attention to our preferences made the experience both enjoyable and stress-free. We had a great time and would definitely use this tour company again on a future visit to Washington, DC.
Well worth the price.

5.00Great way to see all the highlights of DC in a short amount of time. Well worth the price. Vehicle and guide were top notch. My only knock is that there is a $50 upcharge when booking through Viator. You're paying for their cut because you found it through a search engine. If you contact the company directly you'll save $50.

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.
