Learning about D.C. - The pick up location was convenient and the wait time was minimal. Our driver, Alice was a safe and courteous. Our tour guide Vernon, was both knowledgeable and engaging. The whole group was having fun. I would recommend to anyone wanting a tour. For the price, I would consider doing another tour. We made it back on time and folks were guided to on how to get back to their hotels safely.

DC Nights - Seeing the memorials lit up at night was amazing and the knowledge of history and the city was delivered in a fun and informative way. Our tour guide and bus operator (Sally and Chris) were a dynamic duo.

Excellent! - Tour guide James was amazing. Provided so much history in a fun and friendly way. Kept us moving but never felt rushed. Told us in advance what was coming to get the best photos from the bus or on foot. Driver Kris was outstanding. Bus ride was super smooth and he always kept our safety in mind. Lincoln and Washington memorials at night were spectacular. Korean War memorial was an unexpected and moving surprise. They even suggested hop off points towards the end of the ride, based on proximity to your hotel and sites you may have already seen. Thank you!

The best all around! - The most amazing tour! I went with my son and daughter in law. The guides were the best and really above and beyond. We loved the tour and the guides, they were that good. Trey and Vernon were a great team and we thank them so much. I had a disability and they were so wonderful.

I think a day tour would be far more useful than this night tour - The guide was very good and very informative and clear. The tour itself was not anything like what we thought it would be. It was actually kind of boring because it really wasn't all that much that was lit up in such a way to make it appealing. I think I would've enjoyed this tour a lot more during the day rather than at night.
