This is a great tour. Definitely the best way to see a lot of D.C. in a short time. Chris and Tyrone were great guides
Tyrone and Chris made the trip very good! The only thing I would change would be a little longer lunch time.
Tyrone was super knowledgeable, fun, and kept both us and our children entertained throughout the tour. He’s funny, clearly loves the city, and made the trip very enjoyable even with the pouring rain. Highly recommend!
They did not bring me back to destination and dropped me half way back to where i parked. I spent a lot more time get back to my car, and 25 dollars more.
Roses are red Violets are blue such an awesome way to explore our nation's capital enjoyable oh so true.
We had a great day with Chris and Tyrone. Every moment was good and informative. I would recommend this tour and return on my next visit
The tour guide was very mean to me and yelled at me. He wouldn't give me my money back. I was very scared for my life. He yelled at me on the phone. This was a very scary experience for me.
We were beyond impressed with our experience! Chris and Sally were AMAZING tour guides. Not only a wealth of information but cleaver and funny too! My husband and I highly recommend!!!
Tyrone and Chris were awesome. My sister and I both have mobility issues and the guys were great. The tour was nice even though we were caught in a sudden downpour. I would recommend it highly.
Tyrone and Chris were entertaining, interactive, and very patient. The kids had a lot of fun. Thank you for a memorable experience.
It was very organized, they even had an event 4/25/26 a marathon rd. Closure & this company put us on of the Rd. Closures & had a worker Chris waiting for us & the meet up addy to direct us to the bus. Very comfortable Tyrone our tourist speaker was very funny & made our tour absolutely chill!! I recommend this Co. 10000% one of the best priced tour & the add on with the boat ride & visiting the Washington marina or harbour made it absolutely worth it all!! Very nice Viator book with them you’ll be pleased.,well I was pleased.
Our tour guide Tyrone was amazing! Our driver Chris also took very good care of us. I enjoyed the 3 hour tour and it allowed me to get up close and personal with the monuments. Learned a lot from Tyrone about the historical facts and meanings behind all of the monuments. My husband and I enjoyed it so much.
The tour my wife and I took today was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Chris and our tour guide Tyrone were familiar. Tyrone was exceptionally engaging and very well versed in the history of DC. Chris was most professional and helpful. Excellent event in all respects
Guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. Would recommend when visiting DC. Be prepared for a long tour.
It was a good tour. The guide was not great. She tried to be more funny than informative and that is just not our style. Driver was safe. We are doing a similar tour during the evening so it will interesting to compare and contrast both of them.
The trip isn’t what it says it is because this is a cherry blossom trip and there are no cherry blossoms, and I just wanted to speak to someone about this trip and no one called , emailed or text me about this issue.
This was a great tour to experience many of Washington DC sites. Tonya and Sally were great! We were here for just a short time and this tour allowed us to see so much of the city and the sites. We included the boat tour which was okay but not really necessary. I would definately recommend this tour.
The bus tour was great with lots of information. The boat portion seemed to be lacking information.
This tour fulfills your enjoyment of seeing the most important sights of Washington DC. Our guide, Zuma, was very knowledgeable
Zuma was the best tour guide, very clear and professional and entertaining. Thank you so much Maria Espaillat
Chris and Ty were great as our driver and tour guide! Very personable and knowledgeable. We loved the combo of the boat and bus!
We saw so much. Dwayne was one of the best tour guides I've ever had. So full of interesting facts. Very personable and extremely informative. Clearly loves what he does.
This was such a wonderful experience! This is the only way to see DC, you get off and on the bus and are taken to the most popular monuments and landmarks. Sally was so knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Tanya was a great bus driver and was able to manipulate small situations finding us the best stop to get off and on the bus. You will have made so many memories by the end of the day.
Sally and Godfree were amazing! Sally is very knowledgeable about the city and all that’s happening in and around it! She’s well versed in the history and culture of DC. Her and Godfree the driver worked well together and knew of road blocks and things unexpected to us that were happing that would effect our tour but because they worked so well together the tour was smooth and seamless! Thank you for a memorable time.
This was an amazing trip 10/10.The tour guide was knowledgeable and hilarious. He is detailed oriented kept us well informed. Our driver was experienced, had a great deal of patience and skilled.
To wear comfortable shoes since there’s a lot of walking and pay attention to the guide. Some in our group keep missing people.
Sally and Godry were amazing!!! We really enjoyed our day learning so much. Highly recommend for a fun tour!
Sally was very informative and Tanya was so kind to help us with other interesting things to do in the area.
Excellent overview of significant sights in DC. Guide was knowledgeable and personable. Great experience.
Washington is a huge city. It needs a bus, it needs explanations and it needs to know where to take it. I loved the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial. I would never have known of his ssm the tour.
