Around Downtown D. C.
Julie_M, Jun 2023
Steve and Edrick did a wonderful job showing us D. C. Steve was very knowledgeable about the town and was able to pivot when the Secret Service taped off Lafayette Park and he and Edrick pivoted to the next stop. The traffic is the city was awful but the bus was comfy and we were able to get restaurant recommendations and side stories about the different areas we were passing by. Taking us to Iwo Jima monument was very moving along with seeing the Lincoln Memorial!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi Julie- Secret Service does that regularly at the White House... and then there's motorcades to contend with but it's all part of the DC scene. Both Steve and Edrick are Washingtonians and roll with it!
Many thanks for this wonderful review and for choosing us for your tour
Easy way to see washington
Guy_D, Jun 2023
An interesting tour and a good way to see Washington. Possibly could be slightly shorter. Although some walking is required, you get driven to each monument.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi Guy- We do specialize in getting our guests as close as legally possible to all ten stops on our tour. We truly appreciate your choosing us and we thank for taking the time while on travel to leave us this wonderful review.

4 Hour glimpse of Washington DC
Shirley_F, May 2023
Ramon was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and has a deep personal connection to the city.
Response from Host, May 2023
HI Shirley- Your Day Tour with Ramon certainly gave you a glimpse of how DC operates every day of the week. Totally different from our Night Tour. We always strive to connect our guests with the real DC and Ramon's personal connection is part of that. Thanks so much for choosing us.
Wes is an awesome tour...
Angela_K, May 2023

Carole_P, May 2023
We were on the small group tour with Steve. He did an excellent job explaining all the sights and was very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and above and beyond to make the tour enjoyable. Erdrich was a great driver too!vistor
Response from Host, May 2023
Hi Carole- We know what you mean! Steve and Erdrich both have lived in DC their entire lives. Steve loves to tell ALL the backstories about his hometown and Erdrich is a whiz at finding his way around town. Thanks so much for your high recommendation and your 5 Star Review.
Great tour!
Jamie_J, May 2023
Steve was great. We had a nice time visiting the capital. People should be on time to their required meeting time.
Response from Host, May 2023
Hi Jamie- Glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Steve. With Memorial Day approaching some of our guests find they are tied up in traffic on the way to the tour due to rolling, unannounced closures - even the sidewalks sometimes are closed! Thanks so much for patience and for selecting us for your tour.

Must do!
Corey_T, May 2023
Very informative your
Steve was great! Having a small group is ideal. This tour was recommended to me, and I'm recommending it to anyone who is interested in learning about DC
Response from Host, May 2023
Hi Corey- We agree! Touring with a small group IS ideal- everyone makes friends and one and all can ask questions and learn from Steve's amazing knowledge of DC. Thanks for choosing us!
Best tour in DC!
Daryl_M, May 2023
Great driver/guide and a wonderful respectful group with which to tour. Ramon was the best - he gave an excellent, informative narrative as we drove to the monuments and memorials. We were given the proper amount of time at stops to view and get some pics , particularly at The Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and Korean War Memorial. The World War II Memorial was of my personal favorite and Ramon gave us all the facts about the construction, symbolism and dedication that interested our group. He also gave great recommendations on other places of interest and dining spots. Great tour - would certainly recommend and use them again.
Response from Host, May 2023
Hi Daryl-
Ramon is in love with DC- he was born and raised here and totally loves to showcase his hometown. We appreciate your great recommendation and we sincerely thank you for this 5 Star review!
Awesome

Response from Host, May 2023
Hi Dave-
Indeed! What else is there? You had a great time on Steve's tour as he showed off DC! Steve is a native and his tour reflects his lived experience form the last 60 years in his home town. Thanks for touring with us!
