Our guide was soo knowledgeable, personable, and culturally astute as well! I can't remember her name but she and Godfrey were a great duo in getting us around efficiently. We saw sooo many attractions.

DC in a Day

Sally and Godfrey were excellent. Sally was knowledgeable about historical aspects of the area (and the country) and Godfrey navigated congested areas of traffic with ease. I would recommend this tour for other who have limited time and want to see a lot!
