Best tour operator. It's probably one of the best tours I have been on because of the depth of knowledge of the tour guide. Great fun. Lots of jokes. Good choice of sites. Mini van worked well for viewing as a passenger. Good amount of time off the van to walk around dedicated sites.

The tour did not have enough time for all the stops. At the WWII memorial we had 15-20 minutes. But it took 10 minutes for bathroom visit. The other 10 minutes was for walking to the memorial and back. There was no time to visit the memorial. Rafael, our tour guide was very nice and patient. He waited for us old folks and made accommodations and adjustments. This tour is good for introduction, however. We did go back to some of the memorial parks on our own. The open top bus was worth it.

Our tour guide Dion was excellent! Very knowledgeable of all the sites and history of historic figures. He made the trip a lot of fun because he showed so much enthusiasm for his job and was very friendly and answered all our questions. Thank you Dion!

It was a nice tour of historical DC and we enjoyed the day overall. However, my friend and I along with another couple on the tour were left behind at the last stop at the botanical garden. There was apparently a miscommunication between ourselves and the tour guide about departure meeting place and pickup time which was unfortunate because it resulted in the guide and driver missing out on tips from the four of us after a 6 hour tour!! Although we are all adults and it was no trouble to take an Uber back to our hotels, there really should be better communication overall when touring with such a large group.
