Fast paced
Stacy_D, Sept 2023
Great informative tour but fast paced. Expect to walk quite a bit. Guides were knowledgeable and it was amazing to see monuments at night.
Great experience with one disappointment
Madeline_C, Sept 2023
Overall great experience to see so many monuments! Only 4 stars because there was a disappointment that we were really far away from the Capital and the White House so I wish it would have been stated upfront that those would be viewed from a distance.
Wonderful tour with a great guide!
Angela_M, Sept 2023
Our tour guide Deion was amazing! Great tour and the best way to see the monuments:) Would highly recommend this to friends and colleagues.
A Worthwhile Tour
Dana_K, Sept 2023
Seeing the district and memorials at night was a beautiful and touching experience. The views are most breathtaking in the evening. Our tour guide (Brittany) did a great job, sharing great trivia and getting us to and from each of the 9 sites without making us feel rushed.
Washington DC - beautiful on a perfect weather evening.
James_K, Sept 2023
An open top vehicle on a perfect weather evening seeing a city for the first time. This was a great intro to the Monuments. Three hours is the right length of time.

It was beautiful and our tour guides were awesome Brittany was very knowledgeable and kept us laughing. We loved her. Our driver was very courteous and kept us safe. We had fun. Thanks
Excellent!!
Belinda_S, Sept 2023
Brittany and Sean were awesome guides. All of the memorials and monuments were presented with wonderful knowledge and humor. Would highly recommend!
Definitely worth it!
Yazmin_A, Sept 2023
I was a little nervous as a first time traveler to Washington and to top it off, doing it alone. Sean and Kareem made this experience an unforgettable one! Their generosity, positive outlook/friendliness, and history knowledge definitely made this tour an unforgettable one. The way they set up the guide was memorable as details were given at every stop and not just while on the bus. They are the reason why I have decided to visit again soon with family. I want them to experience this tour as I did. I want to extend kudos to them both!
Good overall
Sharon_S, Sept 2023
Great fun! I would recommend springing for the upgraded bus though. It was hard to see inside the bus with the tinted windows. But otherwise, it was fantastic. We had a great tour guide, and we got to get off the bus several times to take pictures and see the sites up close.
Fantastic!!! Don't miss
Alan_B, Sept 2023
Cassie was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide! We had a great time. Walking wasn't terrible but be advised that you will do quite a bit. Reflections on the water were simply gobsmacking!!! For this price, don't pass this up!!!
Great tour
Aaron_M, Sept 2023
Great narration Convenient drop off next to each monument (These are excess words to meet minimum word count)

“Feel like an American”
Eleni_K, Sept 2023
My most memorable moment was when I visit The Lincoln Memorial which was built to heal national divisions caused by the Civil War and Jefferson memorial the "Author of the Declaration of Independence and Justice. Father of the University of Virginia. A unique memorable moment was As I walked across the 9/11 monument museum at World Trade Center at New York and I was overcome with emotion. I lost my best friend there “Ted” and he was my main point of visit. A lost friendship which comes with the loss of long inventory of fond memories. Any loss can cause lingering pain but the “memory” of all souls is the healing process. The feelings that I experienced on that day will stay with me forever. It was a moment I will cherish and remember for the rest of my life.
Fabulous, highly recommend
Lisa_H, Sept 2023
Fabulous guide, really fun trip and great value for money. Absolutely 5 star would give it 6 if I could!
Great set of stops!
Clayton_Z, Sept 2023
Great experience overall, although the PA the guide was using was very crackly, and not all seats are created equal - we got stuck on the side where it's only 1 seat in a row so my wife had to sit in front of me, which wasn't ideal. Monuments and memorials were amazing though!
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Thank you for your feedback about our vehicles. We will have the transportation manager take this into consideration as they onboard new vehicles.
Great tour with an even greater tour guide
Jesenia_D, Sept 2023
Our tour guide Dion was amazing. The wealth of knowledge that man possesses is beyond mind blowing. It was such a great time and visiting the monuments at night is different but very enjoyable. I shaved a star off just because the bus we were in had graphics on the outside of the windows which made it really hard to see out of them especially at night. Other than that, phenomenal experience, highly recommend
