    Amazing moonlight monument tour
    If you can request Sally and Chris would highly recommend this tour. Sally our tour was guide was awesome. She was well informed and discussed uncomfortable subjects unbiased and was articulate regardless of your political choices. The tour was wonderful despite the rain and lightening storm.

    Review of: 3-Hour Washington DC "Monuments By Night" Guided Night-Time Sightseeing Bus Tour
    Night tour of monuments
    Chris and Sally were fantastic! Great narrative and back stories about DC and buildings along the way to all of the monuments. Definitely the way to go on a steamy July evening with the well-air conditioned bus. I’ll also second another reviewer’s suggestion to do this early in your trip to get a lay of the land and better plan the rest of your visit. Thank you for a great experience!

    Review of: Half-Day Grand Sightseeing Tour of Washington DC with Stops at 8 Top Sites
    Great Tour / Need More Time at National Mall
    The tour guide (Paul) was awesome - very informative, warm and fun! One main change I would make is to allow more time at the part where you see the Lincoln Memorial, Korean Memorial and Vietnam Wall Memorial. We only had 40 minutes, grabbed a quick pretzel and drink since husband is diabetic (because tour was 10:30-2:00 during lunch time) and only had time to see the Lincoln Memorial. It was disappointing to not see all of it. You need 60 minutes there. I also wish we could’ve driven past the Ford Theater. The air could have been cooler, and the speakers seemed to only be working on one side of the bus. Overall, it was amazing!

    Review of: Private Washington DC Guided Tour
    Great option for 1st day in DC
    Kia was a fun and engaging tour guide. At the White House stop she encouraged us to check out St. John’s Episcopal, which we was not on our radar…so worth it! She also assigned our kids side quests at many of the stops to give them things to look for. We had time to spend a little longer at some stops, and still were able to see everything we wanted. This is a GREAT option for your first day, as it gives you a great overview of the major destinations in DC.

    Tremendous Experience!
    Our walking tour guide, Liam, was extremely informative about the history of and the people buried at Arlington National Cemetery. It was the best experience while on my Washington DC vacation.

    Review of: 4-Hour Small Group DC Guided Tour of The National Mall with 10 Top Attractions
    Fantastic 4-hr Tour of DC
    This was well worth the money! Our tour guide Dustin was a walking encyclopedia of interesting historical facts, and was funny too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, and appreciated the water and bathroom breaks. Our daughter in high school felt she learned more in this 4 hr tour than she did all of last year in American History. Highly recommend!

    Review of: Washington DC Combo: City Bus Tour, Potomac River Cruise, and Arlington Cemetery
    Exhausting
    You get to see a lot but it’s very fast paced and exhausting. It’s a lot of walking and other than the bus ride there’s no time to sit for a minute.

    Review of: Washington DC After Dark Sightseeing Night-Time Tour with Stops at 8 Top Sites
    Great tour!!! Very informative!
    Start here: our evening was AMAZING & INFORMATIVE. The only reason it’s not a 5 star is that the pickup and loading is a mess. Some random bus with a different company name was demanding people to get on his bus. He had nothing identifying him as being with our company. Once he found 20 willing souls he left and another bus pulled up.
    The next bus was much nicer, the driver was awesome and it was an AMAZING tour. Our driver, an older gentleman talked through a mic for 4 hours non-stop. It was the most informative tour I’ve been on in my life. He was driving a black limo bus with the company name across the front. If you can choose, don’t get on the white bus, get on the black bus. Hell I looked forward to tipping him, he drove us around until 11pm.

    Review of: Big Bus Washington DC Night Tour
    Fantastic once you get going
    Great view of all the sights.
    .
    BUT
    (and it's a very big BUT)
    .
    The organisation of getting everyone on the buses was APPALLING. Having to stand around for 45 minutes in the heat was awful.
    .
    Just get everyone ON the buses, and have them sit in relative comfort until departure time.

    My charter tram was mistakenly not paid for by my company. I had 50 tourists waiting to board the tram for a tour of Arlington. Thanks to Supervisor Bill McBrayer he found us a driver/ guide and my group had a wonderful tour experience! Thanks Bill for saving the day.

    Review of: George Washington's Mount Vernon & Old Alexandria Half-Day Guided Tour from DC
    It was very interesting
    Our guide was good with the information about Mount Vernon and the D.C. area, I could have done without his extra commentary about traffic and the protesters. Mount Vernon was worth the 1/2 day trip.

    Amir was a wonderful tour guide!
    Amir did an incredible job giving us a night tour of DC. He timed everything perfectly for us to see the best sights and monuments at the best times. He was friendly, courteous, and gave us great information about the sights around town. This made our night wonderful. He really knew his stuff and took the best routes for us to maximize our time. Thank you for being a wonderful professional!

    Review of: Luxury Sight See DC City Tour with Potomac River Cruise or Jefferson Memorial
    Pre tour sucked
    The driver Chris and tour guide Tyron were amazing. The information was great. However, after the night before getting a confirmation text of your time and pickup from hotel, we were not happy to find out the morning of that there was no pick up and that our time was changed from 10:30 to 10. Made it difficult to quickly get our party off 9 into our 12 passenger van and then to find parking when the garages are all under 7ft in that area. Not happy with the pre tour set up and information. This was why we picked that hotel and paid more than we normally would.
