Cowboy Clarence was our driver and he went above and beyond to make our trip one to remember. We were at a disadvantage due to the trump parade taking place a couple days before our tour and there still multiple road closures but he did everything he could to make sure we got our money’s worth.
Great overview tour of the Capital!

Great overview of Washington sites—we did this our first night here with our kids (4 and almost 2). The time on the bus and the time at the monuments was just right for our family to get an overview and the kids to not get stir crazy. The whole point of taking the tour was to see what else we might want to do during our time in DC, and this knocked a few things off our list. You don’t spend a ton of time at the monuments they stop at—between ten and 35 minutes depending. So with small children we had to choose what we saw at each of the stops. It worked really well for us though. We did the night time one, and of course in June it doesn’t get dark till the end of the tour, but you beat the heat of the day, and the Lincoln Memorial and Washington monument lit up at the end was great. Our tour guide MJ was informative and really funny. Thank you so much!

Our driver MJ was great! He was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. Due to construction and parade clean-up, he was able to maneuver around the area to get us as close as possible to the monuments.
