This was a great night time tour!!! It gave me an idea for my own personal plan for my tour of DC. DC is so rich in history, you can actually SEE it in the infrastructure and layout!
Honestly such an amazing trip and only booked last minute as we ran out of time. The guide was one of the most interesting and knowledgable I’ve experienced. Thoroughly recommend 5 stars
They asked us where we wanted to end tour, Arlo hotel or White House. We said Arlo, then they drop us off few blocks from Arlo. Didn't care for that. Speaker on cart kept breaking up.
Grant was great! Very knowledgeable. Great way to see the monuments and learn about our capital’s history.
Our guide was Grant. He was friendly, informative, and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our tour.
Perfect time to see the sunset and moon rise over DC. Perfect time to see monuments with daylight then by night.
If you've been walking on your feet all day, it's nice to be able to take this tour. Get off your feet for a while. Here's some history and see the town and the monuments at the same time, lots of fun
Great experience! Addie our tour guide was so knowledgeable, personable and kind. Best tour we have been on and we have been on over ten tours. Highly recommend. The E carts make the tour easier to get around and allow for more time at each of the memorials.
Incredible experience, Kelsey was amazing. Highly recommend this tour. Very informative. Enjoyable experience
We had an awesome experience for the evening tour. Washington DC is especially magical at night with the lights. Grant, our guide, was exceptional and very knowledgeable of all things WDC. He is a superstar!
Excellent way to see all the monuments in a short period of time. Great opportunities for photography. The guide was well educated and shared important history. Recommend this excursion especially if you only have a limited time in DC.
We had a wonderful experience on our tour! Everything was well organized, and our tour guide Juliette was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We learned so much and got to see some amazing sights. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience!
Knowledgeable driver/guide who stopped and offered to take pictures on the monument tour. It was chilly the night we went and I wish I would've brought a hot drink with me. Well worth the money. Pick up a hot or cold drink on your way.
Was a great experience. You can get a great snapshot of some of the key points around town. Kevin was our driver and he was great
Very knowledgeable guide. I got to learn a lot of what the capital has. I also got to ask questions that I was curious about.
The rep on the phone barely spoke English, nor could she understand what my request was, to add 2 ppl to my group outing.
Great time! Worth the money. Would recommend it for anyone that wants to see multiple sites in an afternoon.
Great experience seeing the sights at night. Beautiful views and way less people. 10/10 would recommend
This is truly a "different" way to see the monuments and political buildings! Our guide was amazing, both personable and knowledgable. She engaged with each person in our group. By the end, we felt like she was part of us. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. We did it the evening we arrived in Washington and it was a great way to both end the day and begin our stay in Washington.
Kevin was very knowledgeable and funny! For people, who want “the basics” of DC in two hours, this is the perfect little tour. I would highly recommend it. A little tip though: if you’re directionally challenged, don’t sit all the way in the back (bench faces back, while all other benches face front). Every time Kevin said: “To your right, I looked right then facepalm left.“ lol I do realize that’s a personal problem. But there may be other directionally challenged people though.
Had a great time even in the rain. Tour guide was very knowledgable and had very intresting tidbits. I definitely recommend!
Guide was not understandable. Not worth the cost. Do not recommend.
It was very informative and a nice way to get acclimated to the town on our first day. We would do it again
The vehicle was super nice, new, clean. Unfortunately, our driver had a very thick accent and we couldn’t understand ANYTHING he said. Which was disappointing. Also our tour ended 30 minutes early. On a whole it was okay & I’ll do it again but I will try and be more specific when I select English (and message the tour director & let them know I really want someone that speaks English)
Tyesha was a wonderful guide! She was very knowledgeable and navigated insane crowds and traffic so well. We loved the e-cart experience!
It is a fun way to see the city at night and get a good lay of the land. We had fun getting around to several different monuments.
Excellent highlights tour to see all the monuments at night. Saves on walking and the kids loved riding on the golf cart. Highly recommend!
Great way to get acclimated to the many sights and museums in DC. I would recommend it for anyone just arriving!
Great tour guide! Very informative. Loved seeing all the monuments at night. Only negative was hotel pickup location was far from most other tourist areas.
The monument tour was great way to end our trip to DC. Our tour guide was patient, kind and drove well. The tour was interesting and relaxing after walking all over DC the last 3 days.
Our guide Lorenzo was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about D.C. Lorenzo was also very personable, polite and made the tour fun. We loved our time and would do it again.
Absolut the best thing to start out in DC and get an Idee what all there is to see in DC. Perfect as it’s a small group. Guide is very knowledgeable.
Blake was amazing and super knowledgeable. He gave us a tour but didn’t make things awkward or stiff. Highly recommend!
Very informative, interesting and fun Our guide was very knowledgeable and had interesting facts and stories to tell
It was a great tour and our guide was fantastic. She was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it if you want to hit the sites but don't have a lot of time to do it.
Kelsey was such a joy to be around! She knew her history and was very informative! She was to say the least, our best tour guide yet!
Great tour awesome way to get to know the capital and ther monuments great if you have a walking disability or bad back walking is very limited
Our guide, Sal, was knowledgeable and very thorough. He was also accommodating, giving us more time where wanted and less time if we preferred to make a quicker stop at the scheduled stop.
Bring the show we had unexpected rain, and although we eventually put down the plastic windows, the people sitting on the back of the golf cart were absolutely drenched. There were no blankets offered or ponchos.
We visited DC on a chilly, rainy day, unfortunately. However, the tour was rain or shine, so we were thrilled to still have something fun to do. While the weather disappointed, Sal, our driver and tour guide did not! He pointed out every monument and museum, and gave great insight into them. Our children, who love American history were very pleased. Sal even made it a point to get out in the rain and take our picture as a family. Because it was still raining, he offered to drive us to the metro stop, instead of the meeting location—very kind and conisderate. We would definite enjoy another tour with Sal, rain not included.
Guides were very courteous and friendly. The tour is a good scouting experience if you are a first timer to help you decide your must see items for the duration of your trip. Orients u to where sights are located
I was the only one traveling today in my tour. It was rainy, windy and cold, but Feyez - my guide was chatting and telling me fun stories and made the day really fun!! He shared a lot of stories and also offered to take photos for me. It was a fun trip! I recommend him highly.
Our guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and shared history of Washington and the US. The tour was the perfect amount of time for a quick trip.
Took evening tour and enjoyed so brought friends back for a day tour a couple of days later. Enjoyed a different perspective with a different guide.
Wish we had time to shop for souvenirs
Highly recommend! Great way to see the monuments. Great for families.
The “e-cart” that my evening tour was assigned was not the same as the photos, so that was a little disappointing. On the positive side it did have an open top which was nice; probably wouldn’t be if it was midday with the sun shining down on you. It was a comfortable ride for our group of 5 (the car seats 9). Our driver was polite and took a few photos for the group. He gave a few good tidbits throughout it the tour, but could improve on being a little more upbeat in his delivery. Also some of the others might’ve had a hard time hearing him despite the microphone. Overall, efficient way to see some of the monuments in a short amount of time.
Great tour, lots of information from a friendly and informative guide, John. I highly recommend! Saw all the monuments and other high points of the area and interesting perspective from the open car.
It was great! Good views at night and great history of the town. There was plenty of time to take pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour. Tyasia was fun and knowledgeable.
Saul was very knowledgeable. He gave us enough time to walk up to Monuments and took pictures of us. He was professional and was patient when I was the last to board. He was considerate of my need to be close to the curb for getting out and in the vehicle. I would recommend this experience to others. It was nice being A Great Wayin a small group. Thank you Saul.
