I really enjoyed this tour. - We parked once and were able to tour more sights in 8-1/2 hours than if I had done it on my own, which would have taken two or more days. Nick, our tour guide, was informative, and Calvin, the driver, was entertaining. If this is your first time going to D.C., I suggest this tour.

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.

DC guided tour - We had Elvis as our guide. He was delightful Anda wealth of information. He was engaging and has a great sense of humor. He kept us right on schedule. Angel drove us and did an excellent job. She had water for us and reminded us to watch our steps.

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.
