Amazing experience !! - I really enjoyed this tour! I only had one day to explore, and this experience made it totally worth it. We visited several interesting places, and the guide was very kind and knowledgeable. He explained the history at each stop in a clear and engaging way, and always made sure we had time to walk around and take photos🤗 The van was comfortable and had air conditioning, which made a big difference because of the heat outside. He also provided water in the van and gave us a map where he showed the next places we would visit. There was even a QR code that let you listen to the history of each place during your walk (after he explained it in the van), which was amazing and super helpful for understanding everything🙆‍♀️. He kindly gave me a disposable rain poncho in case of rain, which I thought was very thoughtful. I also asked a lot of questions, and he answered all of them with patience and care😊 Honestly, I had such a great time. If you’re thinking about booking this tour do it! You won’t regret it.

A worthwhile, fun and memorable tour - Me and my friend drove to Washington yesterday, June 4, unplanned. When we were at the White House, we decided to look for a tour guide, bus or van. Thats how we met The Heart of DC Tours. We were a German couple. The tourguide/driver, who happens to be tge owner, was very knowledgeable, nice, clearly explained everything. Sad that we forgot to ask his name. Anyway, thank u very much Sir for a very wonderful, worhwhile and a memorable tour. This is Emilyn from New Jersey. I will surely recommend u to my friends and family.
