What an amazing experience, thank you! - This tour was absolutely incredible, starting with our tour guide Carlos he was so informative, descriptive and entertaining and made it very engaging. The drivers Enrique and Mario were very friendly and cautious. The places they took us too were what we really wanted to see in this tour for example the White House, Arlington cemetery, Lincoln Monument, the Capital we even had a glance to the house where Lincoln actually died. This tour trip was beyond what we expected 10/10 thank you!
