Worth the money - Worth the money, I don’t by travelling on your own you would be able to cover soo many locations in such a small time. So I would recommend if you planning for a small trip to Washington you should book it. If you are planning to spend more time and in details this might not be for you as it is only for few hours.

A little disappointing - The visit as a whole with respect to monuments, was what was more or less expected and was well, however, the visit was carried out by the Guide Jay, who, although we always value this work, failed to engage the public feedback, transmit the knowledge and motivate the group. It was going pretty fast and it was really hard to keep up. It seemed like a voiceover rather than that close deal that a guided tour offers you. In short, our experience was left with a very bittersweet taste by this base as essential as it is to be a Tour Guide.
