Great tour of the main sights of Washington - As we only had one full day this tour was a great way to see the main sights and learn interesting facts about Washington. We were in one of the small glass top mini buses and water was provided throughout the tour. Our tour guide Evan was extremely knowledgeable and informative and managed to keep us engaged throughout despite everyone being soaked in the bucketing rain. Would say that the boat trip was a let down, recorded commentary one way and nothing on the return and no interaction with the crew. This should be dropped from the tour, it does not bring anything to the day. A great tour, a great guide in Evan and a shout out to driver John, highly recommend this tour.

An exceptional tour. - Great tour! Our guide, Christopher, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The open top bus was comfortable, although a little crowded on the back row. Our driver, Andrea (I think that's her name, great driver!) and Christopher made sure we were well hydrated with free bottled water. But, bring the sunscreen. You'll get lots of sun on a clear day. The boat tour at the end of the tour was great also AND the area where we got on the boats was a great stop for lunch. Lots of really good restaurants! Overall, this 6 hour tour makes for a great day in DC and well worth every penny plus more (leave a tip). Thank you.

Excellent Washington Tour - We went in the tour today with Nick and a lovely chauffeur. They both did great and made the Tour living. We started at 8.30 at the Capitol Hill visitor Center for 8,5 hour. ❤️

Best time with Evan and Eugene - I did this tour with my daughter and We did it with Evan and Eugene and we had such an amazing experience. Evan have deep knowledge about everything in the area and all the sites we visited. He also gave us great tips and recommendations about other places to visit and restaurants. . Eugene made our ride very easy and kept us cool since it was very hot. I did this tour back in june with different tour guide and it wasn’t as great as this one with Evan and Eugene. I am planning to come back in March to see the cherry blossom close to MLK junior.

September DC tour - Absolutely worth the money. Nick did a great job. The tail end was a little slower but as a whole very worth it. The open top van was very comfortable and the driver and guide worked together very well.
