Amanda_C, October 2026
This is a must do on your first day in DC. We brought our teen girls to experience the nation’s capital and this tour started us out in the best way! We loved the small group (we had ten people in our group) and the personal attention. Steve was our tour guide and he was outstanding! The amount of history that he shared during our time together was really amazing. He is passionate about history and we could really tell. He gave us ample time at each stop to explore as well. Our driver was Edrick and he did a great job. It was really great to be able just to hop out quickly to see each sight and then he was always waiting for us when we finished. We would highly recommend this tour! Thanks Steve & Edrick 🇺🇸💙

Phoebe_P, October 2026
Good tour but the promised WWII and Vietnam War Memorial (as described on the tour) was a no -show. If it was part of one of the stops, we were not told about them. We had no clue since obviously we are not from the area. Also we were not told how much time to budget at each stop, we tried to hurry as we thought there were still some more stops. It lasted 3 hours instead of 4. We were surprised when we were told that was it...

A great tour! A mix of being driven and walking all over DC. The guide was Steve and his knowledge is endless, basically knowing everything including all the buildings we passed. I thoroughly recommend the tour and especially Steve!
