This was a very complete tour for the money! The guide was very knowledgeable, but a little militant at times. He was not very approachable and seemed irritable. I was very happy that we got to see the monuments that were at the top of my list!

It started off not to good since our tour guide did not show up. Our driver however did a great job considering.

The tour guide was excellent. Enough opportunity to see everything.

This was a great tour to learn interesting facts and leave with a solid overview of D.C. It was a little tiring because we actually went over the 6 hours. But, we got our money's worth! This is a good tour for adults, not children. My 60 year old mother and I were pleased.

The guide was excellent and very interesting. The only bad thing about the bus trip was the intercom failed to work.

Our tour guide was terrific. He is quite informed about the history of DC and articulate. It was a good choice for us.

This was a great tour, especially since we only had two days in DC and wanted to make the most of it. Our tour took place on an extremely hot and humid day, so the air conditioned bus was a great relief, as were the ice cold water bottles they handed out. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

The day tour was by far better than the night tour. Our morning guide was wonderful. He was very informative, didn't rush along and kept the group's attention. After lunch, we had a different guide. He wasn't as interesting, and it was harder to retain information from him. But overall, I would recommend the tour; you really witness a lot in just one day.

The day was spent visiting all the war memorials and Presidents memorials. It would be nice to have more time at the Smithsonian or Arlington. Our tour guide was very good.

The tour guide seemed to be in a hurry and at some point was a little rude because people were "late" at the bus. We didn't see some of the attractions mentioned on the website's description of the tour. Although the tour was supposed to last approximately 6 hours, it started at 10 am and by 3:10 pm we were back at the departure point, and it was over. The bus driver was kind.

Our tour guide didn't show up and we had to get a new one. He showed up after about an hour or so. It was also very hot that day and the ice water was not really ice cold and we ran out way before it was over. We did see a lot which was nice.

If it weren't for the Forth of July holiday, with the routes messed up due to the parade routing, and the parking issues for the bus, I am sure the tour would have gone much smoother and easier on the feet. The guide and driver were very nice and doing the best they had with the holiday situation that messed up everything they normally do. It would be worth trying again on a normal day in D.C.

Our guide was a witty funny and fantastic person. However the mike in the bus or her use of it was not good there was either too much static or she talked too close to the mike and we just could not understand one word she was saying. When we told her it got better but it went bad again soon and this repeated over and again. I asked a few questions non historical ones which remained unanswered. It did not spoil the trip but these two factors stop me from giving three stars. In retrospect however it was a good tour for someone like me in Washington only for a few days and very little time for sightseeing.
