Memorable experience! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with us! There was a couple on the bus that took a wrong turn in Arlington and didn’t get back to the bus. Our guide took the extra time to go after then and find them herself! Of course we lost 30 mins or so because of it but we were grateful to see she didn’t leave them behind

The trio to Washington was worth the price because the guides were exemplary in their knowledge of the history of so many people and events. Seeing the historical took a different meaning when we learned from the guides the historical context and background to it. Additional, the trip was done in a manner which allowed for break and restroom stops. Following the stops the guides did a complete count to ensure that everyone was on board before we departed. Finally, the trip enlisted a variety of drivers and all of them were superb at what they do. They never compromised our safety and the ride always felt safe. In all, I would recommend this trip to friends, and I too will plan on future trip ( Philadelphia and Boston)

Very good tour. Tour guide was great - very nice and knowledgeable about the locations and American history. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to see Washington DC. However, more time in the museum would have made it even better.

Learning about the rich history of Washington, DC. Seeing the difference sites. The only downside is you are on a time crunch, and the traffic of the Washington DC. It’s still worth every penny.
