5.00Helga was so nice and had great information. She kept us on track but was flexible as we wanted to see some monuments longer than others. We were able to see so much in 4 hours with her dropping us right off at each location.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cliff was the best guide — extremely knowledgeable and very funny! Even though it was the coldest trip in Washington, he made the whole experience feel warm, comfortable, and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend Cliff to anyone visiting!

5.00As first timers in Washington D.C. we thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Cliff - our driver & guide - was an excellent host and knowledgeable historian with many a story to tell. It's not cheap but with freshly fallen snow in a winter storm, we would not have seen DC otherwise. Thank you, Cliff!
Amazing time

5.00Oh my goodness, if you go to DC do this tour! We saw so much in four hours! Jeik was incredible and very accommodating. We got to spend extra time at the memorials we wanted to see (Jefferson, WW2, Arlington), less at the ones that were not as much of a priority for our family. We had already done a Capitol tour the day before and had a White House tour scheduled for the next day, so less time at those. Jeik even dropped us at the Natural History museum after so we wouldn't have to walk from our hotel. We saw so much in 4 hours and would definitely do this again, just so we wouldn't have to drive to all of the memorials.
