This tour was very easy to book. Before the tour, I called to ask detailed questions & received excellent service. We felt prepared & ready to meet up & check in. We LOVED the ENTIRE experience. Our tour guide, Derek, & driver, Tate were EXCEPTIONAL!!! They made our tour very interesting, fun, extremely informative & comfortably. My husband appreciated the respect that Derek showed the veterans when we were at the memorials. As Derek put it, he honors veterans, by making sure he shares correct information about each memorial. My husband, who is a 23 year veteran, felt that respect & honor. We are planning on returning to DC with our 14 year old grandson, and will be booking this tour again. I’m sure all your tour guides & drivers are good, but we plan on requesting Derek & would love to have both Derek & Tate when we do return. THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING TOUR!

We had an absolute blast! Upon arrival, we checked in promptly, and all group leaders were friendly. We started on time, and my tour guide Raphael, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The day started off with amazing weather, but we experienced about a 15 min rain shower. Raphael provided ponchos for the group, so that we were not soaked sitting on the open top bus. We continued our tour, and he kept the moral high all throughout. Would highly recommend if you would like to knockout a good bit of DC city touring in one day. We saw a ton.

Lincoln and MLK memorials. Also Viet Nam and Korean War memorials stood out. Dre did a nice job adding perspective to each exhibit.
