Washington monument was amazing! - James was very entertaining and knowledgeable and really crammed all facts into every spare minute. The driver was awesome, too, and chased us all around so we wouldn’t have to backtrack and do a ton more walking. Traffic was a nightmare, but they did a good job navigating it. It was a little confusing what the two different groups on the tour bus were doing. I wish it were a little more clear what extra stuff the other folks were getting, so we could at least self-guide ourselves during this time. It wasn’t entirely clear whether our tour guide would meet us at the Washington monument or not, and when I asked, it wasn’t clear. I didn’t know whether I should give a 15 minute or a 30 minute buffer before my scheduled time. It was like trying to win the lottery in order to get Washington monument tickets, so this was our only chance to get them (via this tour).

glad to go well - At first, it was difficult to find a meeting place, and walked around to find it, I almost gave up until finally could meet. The guide texted me, but could not receive.Other than that, it was worth to join with the monument admission.
