Nick was great as a tour guide. Would have been nice to add a stop to the Washington monument too!!!
-
Nick was engaging and interesting. He was extremely knowledgeable and never lost anyone, he handled the group well. He did a great job showing us around.
-
Nick was a great guide and this was a great way to see some of the top sites in the city. Would recommend this tour! Great stories, history, and comfortable bus.

Knowledgable guide - personality added to the tour and made more enjoyable. Time at each ‘sight’ appropriate - no rushing.
-
A truly memorable tour of the entire city of Washington DC. The guide, Nick, was humorous & brilliant. I will recommend this tour to many friends
-
The entire tour was a lot of fun—very informative, interesting and eye-opening! Our tour guide, Nick, is the best!
-
Great way to get around and see all the main monuments and memorials especially in the humid weather (we still got in our 10k plus steps) while you also get the benefit of a guide and an air conditioned bus to drive around to the sites. Our guide, Brittany was very personable and knowledgeable. She provided very insightful information, and her delivery was humorous and light. The included Potomac River cruise is a “take it or leave it” but it did provide a nice break in the middle of the tour and allow for lunch (on your own). Overall our tour (with Brittany, our guide and Maddie, our bus driver) was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely a convenient way to get around Washington DC’s main monuments and memorials while the tour handles all the logistics for you.

Great way to maximize a day in DC and see so many national treasures! Nick was great and made the experience awesome. Helpful information: *there is a fair amount of walking during this tour. We tracked over 6 miles. *tour group was larger than stated in ticket info. Our group has 45 participants. *transportation wasn’t luxury. It was just a standard coach bus. It was fine, but just not what was listed in the ticket info.

I’m in Washington DC with 3 of my cousins, one of whom is celebrating her 70th birthday. We loved this tour; Nick made it so much fun. He is knowledgeable, polite, respectful, responsive and very funny! He truly knows America’s history, DC’s monuments and interesting facts, stories and tidbits. We had a blast. Thank you.

Wow! What an incredible experience! Nick our guide is very knowledgeable and he even has some great jokes! I learned so much about DC and really enjoyed the opportunity of seeing several places without the hassle of driving and parking. Bus was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour and the variety of activities. The boat cruise was a nice break to just sit and relax. You will definitely get your steps in so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.
