5.00Driving DC can be difficult - especially when you don't know where you are going! This wonderful experience allowed our family to enjoy the monuments without the stress of trying walk miles and miles or catch the metro over and over again when we don't know which bus ends up where! We also learned a lot from Fiona, our guide. She was kind and made the experience a family friendly and fun time. We were able to see all of the sites we wanted to see. Our family would highly recommend this great experience.

5.00Absolutely the best experience. I never leave reviews but for this one I had to. Most of my family has never been to DC and they got to see so much on this tour. Michelle is so kind and accommodating. She made the tour. My family went on and on about how great she was! Thanks for everything- we loved this!

Decent for first timers

4.00We went for a 4 hour guided private tour as we were first timers in DC. This tour helped in getting a lay of the land but came at a price. Nick tried to accommodate our requests but felt that the tour was very rushed. We were also late to add to our poor planning, thanks to our aviation friends. This is a decent option to try out but if you have time and some research already done, this option is passable.
