Discover DC - A wonderful tour from Nick and Leah - I went on the Discover DC tour with my Tour-guide, Nick, as well as our lovely driver Leah. Nick was so so compassionate to every guest, ensuring everybody was keeping up, including our elderly citizens. He was also very knowledgeable and funny about every part of the tour we went to! Nick was a friendly presence that I would highly commend. As for Leah, she was a wonderful driver, knowing where to speed up and slow down to get a better view of the stops. She worked really well with Nick to create a wonderful tour experience around DC. Thank you to the Nick and Leah for the amazing time I had.
