This was a great tour. James and Chris adapted to the difficulties we encountered with closures and we still got to see everything we wanted. I definitely would recommend this tour.
We had an older tour guide who had to speak into the microphone, and if you were not standing no more than 5 feet away from him- YOU COULDNT HEAR ANYTHING!!! The walking speed of this tour was INSANE!!! We had multiple people just stop, because they couldn’t keep up! And all that walking was while talking and squeezing through the crowds! Besides the guide mentioning “of there is a cherry blossom tree” there was NOTHING ABOUT CHERRY BLOSSOMS this tour is about monuments!!! Which is ok… but he kept repeating useless information time after time… so 7 hours of him talking nonstop… and running… nothing registered in the memory at all Except for running and trying to catch up….
We had a fantastic time on this tour! We saw so many of the country's most important and fascinating monuments and the beautiful City. Our tour guide, Sally, and our bus driver, Valerie, were amazing. Sally is so knowledgeable, and she shared a wealth of information in a manner that was both fun and entertaining. Our tour occurred at the very peak of cherry blossom season, a time of year that is both incredibly beautiful and logistically challenging. The crowds and traffic were unbelievable and created numerous challenges for the tour's busy schedule!! Sally and Valerie were extremely flexible and handled them deftly. They adjusted the order and duration of the stops, over and over again, ensuring that we saw and enjoyed everything!! Valerie's skills as a driver were tested repeatedly - and she was just astounding! The boat ride on the Potomac River was beautiful and fun, capping off a wonderful day. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
We are so glad we did this tour! We never would have seen all of this on peak cherry blossom weekend. Thank you Sally and Valerie.
Ticketed trip Georgetown (Washington DC) to Alexandria (Virginia) via District Wharf. No one made it clear that the ferry from Georgetown stopped at District Wharf so we stayed on board and missed the connecting ferry to Alexandria. Otherwise lovely river trip.
James, our tour guide, has an amazing level of knowledge and made this tour extremely interesting. Our driver, Chris, was exceptionally confident in traffic, well spoken, and polite. He made extra effort to help everyone out of the van to keep us safe.
Informative and leisurely. Dwayne (not sure about the spelling) was a fantastic tour guide. He clearly had done his research and shared interesting tidbits you didn’t learn in your history class. It was clear he enjoyed being a tour guide and his excitement was infectious. Every stop on the tour was interesting. I found the Vietnam War Memorial to be especially touching. The Marine Corps Memorial, raising the flag on Iwo Jima, felt especially patriotic. Highly recommend the tour, and with Dwayne.
We hoped to enjoy this tour but , after booking, paying, giving a glowing review to the booking agent Edward Robert from Viator, and coming to the bus ahead of time , we never had to experience it, because the agent or the system never sent information to the provider, we were not on the list of passengers and the bus was already filled with other tourists. There was not a single space left on the bus and we needed three, so we were denied access. The same situation happened to the other family. The next day we had to fly back home, so - no, we definitely did not enjoy our experience.
It was great. We saw monuments and memmorialsthat we didn't know about. Tyrone was an awesome tour guide and Chris was a great driver. There was an abundant supply of cold water. The water cruise was ok.. a little underwhelming after the land tour.
I liked listening to the tour guide. I saw all the important sites in Washington DC. I also enjoyed the ferry ride.
I was only in town for 4 days and this was my first time in DC so I wanted to make sure I seen the major parts of history. It’s was very hot but it was worth it! Chris and Tyrone were great! A lot of great information Tyrone gave us! And the boat ride was so relaxing after a long day
Had the weather been more gentle it would have been more enjoyable. The tour guide and bus driver were so helpful and nice. The amount of new information we were given about the sights we visited was enormous.
Chris our driver and James our narrator were amazing. James was very informative and entertaining. We would highly recommend!
This guided tour was one of the best I've taken. The number of Washington historic sights included was amazing. The driver, Chris, and tour guide, Vernon, were exceptional. They were very considerate of everyone's needs and were extremely knowledgeable. The boat ride on the Potomac River was the culmination of a great day!
She was very knowledgeable and engaging, and stayed perfectly on schedule. Driver was flawless. Felt like I learned a lot.
4/25/2024 10:00 Am Our tour guide James was very professional while at the same time funny.Our driver kith got us around safely and smoothly.excellent driver lots of patience
Dave our guide was knowledgeable and Kriss our driver was courteous kind and were a very good driver. I would recommend them to others,
We went on the Potomac River Cruise and Sightseeing tour on 10/13. The weather was perfect and our tour was great. Kris the driver and James the tour guide were excellent. I will recommend this company to my family and friends.
I don’t even know where to beginning, the tour started late and we were treated as if we were children on a school trip. Everything took forever to get done. We could barely hear our guide throughout the tour and he would stand and talk in the sun. The lunch break we had made it worst everywhere needed a reservation to eat and was expensive. Last but not least the boat tour was the exact information as the bus tour. What a waste of money and time.
This was a great one day tour of DC. We got a sense of where things were (for visits later in the week) and checked a few things off our list. The afternoon, with time for lunch and the river cruise was a an enjoyable, relaxing way to end the day. Plus we got to see a few more things. Tyrone (our tour guide) is a long time DC resident. He was knowledgeable, funny and kept us on time. We thought this was a perfect introduction to our time in DC
We had a great time. Tyron was super knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Chris was a great driver and very pleasant. We saw so much on this tour and would have never been able to see as much of DC on our own. I recommend this to anyone visiting the Capital City.
Beginning and End need some experience design. We bailed at the White House (last official stop. Tour guide was great! Bus driver had no personality. Would have been nice to see the Supreme Court, even if just a drive by. Also, suggest having a Venmo or other digital wallet option for tipping.
Awesome Tour! Visited D.C. from Cleveland with my mom. Tour guide Sally was very fun, knowledgeable & prompt. Enjoyed every bit of the tour! Even in the sweltering heat. Also, loved that there was a great supply of ice cold water during the entire tour!
The war memorials were great the tour guide and and naration was excellent. The boat ride we did not like at all. Very poor seating and the naration recording was not in sync with the location of the boat
Super fun trip it was hot bus had ac, free water, much better then trying to do it myself!!!! Guide was funny!
This company is not customer service friendly. My family purchased 7 tickets to do the all day DC Boat tour. We booked the night before the tour within the 12hour window. We were running late due to traffic and tried calling the number listed, texted and emailed to ask if the tour could wait for all 7 of us. No way to communicate because no one replied or answered. When I finally did reach a representative they were not accommodating for us to catch up with the tour or to rebook for another. Life happens and this company could care less that you spent $700. I would not recommend booking with them.
The guide was awesome and they kept the timing in check all the times. Though the pick up location was at one place and the drop off locations catered to the needs of the passengers.
Great tour! Happy we booked it! The best way to explore Washington for the first time. We were so lucky to have Sally as our tour guide - she is very professional and knowledgeable with great sense of humor! Our driver Chris is just the best! he managed to get us to the best sight seeing points when it was impossible with streets being closed due to Cherry Blossom Festival. We got into very heavy rain storm while on a boat ride but Chris magically pulled our tour bus right to the feet of our boat, so no one got wet! Amazing! Thank you Sally and Chris!!
Our tour guide Dwayne, was fantastic. He had so much knowledge about DC. We have been on other tours, we can honestly say, Dwayne is one of the best. You won’t be disappointed.
Our guide, Tyrone & driver, Chris were a wealth of knowledge & interjected humor along the way along with fun facts. This is the perfect way to see a lot of the heartfelt sites of DC in a day. We’d do it again & highly recommend it to anyone visiting DC. Kudos Tyrone!
Tour guide was great. Very informative and knowledgeable as to all the monuments and stops we made. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Tour guide David was very knowledgeable. When to all the major monuments and memorials. Was not rushed very relaxed. Small group of 11 tourist. Would highly recommend!
This tour was on our first day in DC. Perfect way to start our trip! Our tour guide Tyrone was entertaining and very informative! Would recommend this tour for anyone going to DC!
Visiting all of the popular Monuments and Memorials in one trip was an amazing experience! It saved time on our trip and it let us soak it all in with one adventure.
The war memorials were very impressive and really reminded me of how hard freedom was fought for in this country
Tyrone made the trip entertaining! Saw more sites than the DC at dusk tour. Tyrone threw in great history facts and great places to eat!
The tour was nicely paced. Tyrone did a great job of providing information and did so with humor and Chris kept the bus near by at all times. It was a beautiful October day and we even enjoyed the nice trip on the Potomac river to cap it off! Would highly recommend it.
Pickup Point was easy to find On time Pickup Awesome Tour Guide/Driver Great value for the price Very clean vehicle
Vernon was amazing, best tour guide, we had a great day, thanks to all involved . Perfect day trip.would recommend
It was a marvelous trip around DC. I am an old guy and pretty set in my ways. I always drive but just this once I thought I'd give a guided tour a try. Best decision I've made regarding travel in a long long time. The trip, the diver, amd the guide were first rate. All of the nuggests of information were great and delivered with obvious interest in the subject matter. No hassels with driving in a unfamilar area, no parking costs, no hunting for parking spaces, driving around bottlenecks. It was ideal. We are going to NYC in the spring and will be using these services then 5 STAR all the way
I enjoyed seeing all the sites. Alot of walking 🚶♂️. I hate I missed the cruise because the guide didn't get 8 of us from the location he told us to be at. Otherwise it was a good tour.
It was wonderful to see so much of DC in such a short time. We were able to be driven to the tops sights on an air Conditioned Bus. The bus was comfortable and had outlets to charge our phones and they provided water. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He gave us many tips on other things to do places to eat after our tour. Highly RECOMMEND!!
We traveled with Chris and Dave they were Great. We received a lot of information about the city. I recommend this tour if you have time.
Energetic and knowledgable guide. Tyrone was great, he loves his job and it shows , great experience.
We really enjoy the time with the tour guy Vernon. He is fun and knowledgeable We did not like being rushed all the time. Suggest to extend the time of the tour or reduce one or two attractions.
Kate was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and extremely nice The trip was awesome. Highly recommend
Our guide was very personable and informative! Even though I had seen some of the sites before, I got more out of this trip than any previous times in DC.
Sally and Chris(our driver) were amazing. The best and most informative tour we’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend.
Kris our driver and Dave our guide was fantastic. They were very knowledgeable and made sure we had plenty of cold water to keep hydrated. We had plenty of time to see everything.
