Grand Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

If you have limited time to visit, this is a good way to get the most from an inspiring visit. Washington traffic and limited, restrictive parking, especially for those unfamiliar with DC, can consume precious time you want for sightseeing. Leave the driving to someone else.

Perfect Match

Published on Jan, 2025

Just the type of tour I had in mind when booking. First, too see the most historical sites and monuments: second, to have time to get out, walk around and visit and take pictures, and finally a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide to pull it all together. Daniel was our guy and we found him to be outgoing, funny, helpful and a great source of information of not only the visited sites but of the entire area. Highly recommended.

Excellent

Everything according to plan. Schedule, sites, etc.Guide was knowledgeable and pleasant as well as the driver.

Excellent Half Day Tour of DC

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great morning with Steve, our guide, and Hedrick, our driver. The tour started on time with a group of 10 guests in total. It was inauguration week, so we couldn’t get as close as usual to the White House and the Capital building, but we were still able to get photos. The driver tried his best to get us close. Steve is native to DC and is a wealth of information! No question went unanswered. We were given plenty of time to get out and walk around at the various sites. Since it was very cold, Steve gave us most of the info in the van, but was always available to answer questions at the site as well. I really liked the fact that we were with a small group instead of on a large tour bus. This made it super easy to learn more from Steve and always hear what he had to say. We highly recommend this tour.

Great overview, good people, comfy ride!

Published on Jan, 2025

Steve was an awesome, knowledgeable, and calm tour guide who really knew how to improvise when needed. Edrick was a great driver and chauffeur, keeping the ride comfortable and timely despite the street closures and the van cozy during frigid temperatures. The sites we visited were not only historically fascinating but truly moving. It was a great experience for my teen daughter and me—just enough to give us a taste of the area, with plenty of reasons to come back and explore more. Great company, great people! Highly recommend!
