We had the privilege of being guided by Tyrone and Chris who gave us a wonderful experience. Both were so knowledgeable about our tour stops and they worked together so well. The information and their personable flair made the day quite enjoyable and relaxing. (The bus was also very clean and relaxing.) Great job, guys!!

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! I say this because even though I was solo, on the tour, I still had a great time. Tyrone, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable (about the sites, monuments, buildings, etc.) and was also quite humorous, which left no dull moments. We were able to visit a lot of the famous monuments and sites, with a choice of more or less walking.
However, the website said to bring a bag lunch and that there was a restroom on the bus. But there was no restroom on the bus and we stopped at an amazing wharf that had a myriad of nice eateries. If I had know we were going to stop there, I would not have been running around (while on vacation @ a hotel) trying to pack a bagged lunch.
All in all, I did have a great time.

We were bused around to many of the great monuments while our guide, Sally, kept up a constant stream of information. My husband wasn't able to join us until we were at our first stop (they did their utmost best to get him on our tour) and parked near there. Godfrey, the driver, kindly took our family over to our parking spot afterward. Above and beyond! My whole family enjoyed the tour, and that's saying something! I was grateful to be able to see the various sights without having to walk it all, and the night views of many of the monuments were gorgeous. I also loved that this tour was offered during the evening when the museums were closed to maximize our time.

Although it was a very hot September day, we enjoyed the tour as best we could. Our driver and guide. Chris and Tyrone, were courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was a very educational and fun experience. Giving us time and options for lunch (including Tony and Nick's right on the water) were very nice.
The disappointment to me was the river cruise. The vessel was old, dirty, and cramped. There were a lot of people on-board and it was a hot afternoon. I was looking forward to the water part of the tour the most, but, unfortunately, it was a disappointment.

Tyrone was an amazing tour guide. This tour allows you to get on and off and discover the sites of DC at your leisure the boat ride at the end was the cap off for such a long day. My 8 year old who is a history buff loved every moment of it

We had only been to Washington DC once and had never taken a tour. Our guide Sally was so knowledgeable and could answer and questions thrown at her. She was also a lot of fun to be around. Take this tour! Also Kris got us to each of the monuments with ease. Hats off to the duo that we were lucky enough to be with.
