Catching the city with Nick

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a blast with Nick. He was Informative., Knowledgeable had plenty of trivia for us could answer all of our questions and even answered some. We didn't realize we had And answered was open to the questions. We had. Took us absolutely everywhere. We wanted to go and see our excursion was awesome. We would highly recommend it to anybody looking to do something with your Teens. He gave us tips and tricks. He thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Nick. Anybody who gets a chance to travel DC with Nick as their guide should definitely take it cause they will enjoy it.

Published on Jan, 2025

Our driver was knowledgeable and went out of his way with the extra time we had to drive us to different areas and let us walk up to monuments we wouldn't have been able to if time didn't permit.

Amazing, well worth it! Ask for Cliff to drive you!

Published on Jan, 2025

Cliff was AMAZING! Soooo polite, knowledgeable, and accommodating! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. It was so worth it. When you compare being able to have your own private driver, take you wherever you want, Stop when needed, running in to grab this or that, go back to the hotel really quick because you forgot something and continue right where you left off. All for just a little extra money versus being stuck on a bus With loud smelly obnoxious people. This was the way to go and this company was 100% amazing.

We had a wonderful time. ...

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful time. Great to be able to see so much with a guide and with two kids it cut down on the walking. Seeing the city at night is also beautiful

Best tour ever

Published on Jan, 2025

Great communication leading up to pick up. My mom and I were in town for the inauguration. Weather and road closures put a wrench in original plans but our guide, Mischelle adapted and got us around the city with grace and patience. She was knowledgeable and gave us quite the history lesson.
