Amazing! Book now because you want to experience this! - Absolutely amazing! The communication and direction prior to the day of the tour were fantastic. We had no trouble finding the start location even with multiple train station and street closures on the day of our tour, inauguration weekend. Our tour guide, Duane, I believe, in his bright orange jacket so we could always find him, was extremely personable, conversing with the tour participants throughout the entire tour. He remembered where people were from and included facts related to the states of the participants. The guide was like a walking encyclopedia! He said he had 20 years experience leading tours and it showed. He pointed out details at every site and shared interesting facts as we drove from one location to the next. And, our driver was an absolute street genius! Roads were randomly closing but he always knew a way to get where we needed to go. He even helped out one of the tour participants by drying her wet socks on the dash of the van. It was quite rainy but that could not put a damper on this phenomenal tour. The cost of the tour was money well spent to have these gentlemen escort us to so many sites! Thank you immensely!

Fantastic experience, to experience all of the Washington monuments and key sites. Highly recommend the 5hour tour with James an -
Booked through Get Your Guide, read so much about all the different monuments and what to see and was initially a but overwhelmed, so glad I booked Signature Tours. We booked the 5-hour tour (the 3hr tour is essentially the same but misses out the Pentagon, Airforcr and the Marine Corps monuments which are definately worth a visit and across the highway in Virginia). Our guide, James, was exceptional — his background as a history teacher, working at the Dept of Agriculture and extensive tour experience definately shows as he expertly navigates you through the crowds and gives you insights at each monument.
Our driver Chris, was equally impressive, skillfully parking the van at the front of each site and their timing between drop offs and pick ups was perfect .
The van we moved around in was fantastic, with large windows offering great views, spacious and clean. The tour stopped at every major monument, and James provided detailed explanations about each one.
Overall a well-organised and fantastic tour, as a first-time visitor this tour is a must-do!

You never know what to expect but… - You never know what to expect but this did not disappoint. As we all know, it’s the guide and staff that make or break the tour. On our case, we had Miss Sally as our guide and Chris as our driver. It was astounding how much Sally knew and answered all of the groups’s questions. She even made the trip interesting for teenagers…no small task. And Chris was very kind to my FIL who had a bad knee. All in all, they both made a run of the mill trip interesting and enjoyable. What we especially liked is that they did not process us like cattle where the itinerary was a check list for her. Instead, they gave us choices about the itinerary and adjusted on the fly (the weather was bad and many people did not want to trek too far in the freezing rain). I would highly recommend this tour as long as you get these two, if possible.

James, our guide, brought the city's rich history and iconic landmarks to life with his in-depth knowledge and captivating storytelling. His passion for Washington, DC was palpable, making each stop on the tour both educational and memorable.
Chris, our driver, was equally impressive. He expertly navigated the city, always choosing the best routes that allowed us to maximize our time at each site. His driving was smooth, and his route selection enhanced the experience, ensuring we saw the best of DC without unnecessary delays.
We are incredibly grateful to both James and Chris for providing such a well-organized, informative, and enjoyable tour. I would highly recommend Signature Tours DC for anyone seeking a thoughtful and enriching exploration of the nation's capital.

Best Tour Guide in Washington, DC.. - The Tour Guide, James, is very knowledgeable about the history, and pertinent facts of the Washington DC area. The Martin Luther King Memorial, and the Capital were something to behold. We actually went a little beyond the time allotted for the tour. Kris, the bus driver was also outstanding. Thank you James and Kris for making our trip to Washington DC a most memorable occasion. My wife and I were celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary, and we enjoyed it very much due to this tour. Again, thanks
