Glad I did this tour. - Our tour guide was ?Lynn. I hope I got his name right. He has a lovely voice, knows his history and kept us moving but not too quickly. You could hear his reverence for the monuments in his tone. Thanks for a memorable tour.

My first trip to DC - This was my first and likely only trip to DC so we wanted to make the most of everything. The sites are AMAZING made even more AMAZING by our guide Tyrone and driver Chris. Our only “critique” is the tour is advertised as “wheelchair accessible” and the bus was not wheelchair accessible. That said, Chris and Tyrone were wonderful in helping my sister and her wheelchair on and off the bus.

50/50 - Dave was great but if we had headphones we would be able to hear him no matter where we were and not miss out on valuable Info. Also disappointed we were not dropped off where ticket advised and had to walk a very, very long way to our optional tour. Ticket drop off info was very different to what was provided.

Great Tour Guide - Tour guide and driver were great! The bus was nice, clean, and comfortable. Our package was to include hotel pickup, which did not happen and we had to get a ride. Also, we paid for an upgrade to the Washington monument. Again, this was to include a drop off that did not happen. Tickets to the monument are free. That part was a complete scam. Do not buy the upgrades.

Avoid paying extra for the upgrades. Untruthful. - Don't purchase the upgrades. They are overcharging for free to a dollar entrance fees to museums and the Washington Monument. The rangers at the Washington Monument told me I was scammed. The tickets we received were for a day we didn't purchase, and I paid about a 70 dollar upcharge for something that would have cost 3 bucks if I purchased from their site. Luckily, he didn't turn me away and allowed us in. The description also says they drop you off at those upgraded stops, but they actually leave you at the White House a little over a mile away. When it is 90+ degrees, it's a rough walk.
