Traveler reviews
Still memorable!
I did this tour 5 years ago. Nick was our guide, and 5 years later, i still remember him, and his jokes and his personality. Best tour guide ever. I had a tour of white house, met former President's and visited DC numerous times. Nick still is the best.
Enjoyed the VIP tour...
Enjoyed the VIP tour yesterday with our tour guide Brittany and driver, Ms. Barnes. They made our experience excellent. I would highly recommend this tour if you are trying to see all of the main attractions in one day. We were dropped off at each site and had about 15-20 minutes to explore at each stop. The bus was very comfortable, had air conditioner, and they provided us with water. I would highly recommend this tour. I am very happy with my experience.
The Best Tour
We wanted to see a lot of sights and receive good information about each one. And we did with our great tour guide Sam and driver Lea!
