Absolutely Worth It! - "You can run around and see a lot in Washington DC without seeing a thing" -Tour Guide Nick. He is exacting right! Nick delivered historical details and intriguing stories throughout the day that brought life to the national monuments. There is a plan and significance for every architectual detail. This was a highlight of our trip!...absolutely worth it!

How does Nick keep all those facts and dates in his brain😆! - Our tour guide was Nick! Gosh, he was amazing. He knows so much information I don’t know how he keeps it all in his head! So very informative with such tiny interesting details. His jokes are corny but still funny. Liked how he would give us all the information then let us go view the monuments and memorials on our own. Loved the small group of an open top bus. More personal. Unfortunately I don’t remember our drivers name, but she did a great job too. Always offer water and parked in the shade when possible.

Excellent!! - This was a private tour for a family reunion. The tour was well planned starting with working the details before with Steve Glatfelter. Excellent driver, Mr. Thomas Hill and the bus was in pristine condition!!!
I highly recommend this company.

Great DC tour experience. - I absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide, Reid, was a phenomenal font of all things DC. The depth and breadth of his knowledge was mind blowing. He was funny, relaxed, adaptive, flexible and SO informative. He was well supported by his driver John.
I would highly recommend this tour - ask for Reid!

Great Day Seeing Monuments of DV - Joey was very informative and Khalid did a great job navigating the DC traffic. Temperature was in the high 90s so they provided water and encouraged us to stay hydrated.

Very Disappointed and Description misleading - Small Group Tour of DC - Open-Top or Glass-Top Luxury Bus
I recently booked a tour for my husband and myself through Wyndham tours . It was a very hot day (real feel- 81 to 104) and we were very disappointed in our tour and guide, Rob. Although he was knowledgeable about history , he seemed to like to hear himself talk. There were 4 seniors (including us) and he paid no attention to the fact that it was very hot. He made us stand looking at the Vietnam war memorial for at least 20 minutes in the hot sun, and even when I asked to move on he wouldn't. He told story after story about the names on the wall, and if he had looked at his audience he would have noticed people were suffering from the heat and lack of interest. After that he took us to the Jefferson memorial and wanted everyone to climb the stairs after that long stand in the blazing sun. I asked him what we would see after that and he mentioned 3 more memorials and said "And I will continue to tell stories." in a nasty voice because I had asked to shorten the stories about the men and women inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial He also told some very inappropriate "wife" jokes that were degrading to women. I was insulted and disgusted.Â
Another issue was that he said we would not visit the National Archives let alone the VIP access described on line.
We thought that among the iconic landmarks in the description we would visit Washington Memorial, which we only saw from afar.Â
We left the tour at that point, very unhappy with our purchase, since this was one of the most expensive tours. When you click on "itinerary" on the website, nothing shows up which leads me to believe that each guide just does their own thing. We paid over $200 for a very unsatisfactory day based on the reviews on this tour.
