Great tour to take - We only had one day and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour took us too many of the highlights. Nick was our guide and did a great job. He was personable, kept the tour moving and was very knowledgeable.

Well worth the money! Highlight of our trip. - This tour was the highlight of our trip. Nick our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about all the places we visited and kidded with the group the whole day. I was blown away with everything we saw in just one day. And truly loved being told the meaningfulness behind the design of the monuments before we got to them and then having the freedom to just take it in as we were onsite. Early access to the Capital Building was nice. Enjoyed lunch on the wharf at really good restaurant. Our bus driver was absolutely delightful. They kept cold water stocked at all times and reminded us to take use of it to avoid dehydration. We were exhausted by the end of the day so don’t recommend planning anything that evening. Only thing I would change about the trip is taking out the boat cruise and adding Washington Monument instead. Thanks to the team for a great time!

Fantastic and moving tour - Joey and Evan were fantastic tour guides. Thanks, Evan, for putting us on the open-air bus, and Joey for explaining the monuments. For the bus, it would be nice to give her a microphone so we can hear better from the back.

Great tour, poor timing - The tour timing is paced well if everyone is able. The number of stops was a good amount as not to make it too much. Water was provided, which was very helpful with heat index more than 90 degrees. The tour was negatively affected by street closures due to the Washington DC Grand Prix. This led to some confusion and a rushed lunch time. Tour guide Sam was excellent. He was able to keep the full group together and moving (5 stars for Sam).
