Epic DC Tour - The Guided Tour of DC and the going to the top of the Washington Monument was fabulous. But the best thing about the tour was our guide Tyrone. He was smart, funny, knowledgeable and approachable.

Highly Recommended - The tour started on time, the guide and the driver were very friendly, in a good mood and professional. If you want to take lots of beautiful pictures in a short time, you can't go wrong with this tour. This is a tour with photo stops, so there is of course no time to visit the individual sights. That should be clear to everyone given the length of the tour. The icing on the cake is definitely the view from the Washington Monument (if you have booked tickets for the tour).

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.

Half of the tour was cancelled without notice - We booked this tour, the main reason being because we wanted to enjoy a trip to the top of the Washington Monument. However, nearing the end of the tour, which was the stated "admission highlight", the tour guide couldn't take us to the monument, for reasons which he didn't make clear, and offered a boat ride as compensation. In my view, this should have been announced at the beginning of the trip, with a money back offer.

Disappointed - We were very disappointed that we couldn’t go up Washington Monument that’s the main reason we purchased tour.
