The tour is a must do for people with a limited amount of time to hit the highlights. Our guide, Andy, was excellent... informative and fun

We had a great time!!! Our guide Adam and driver Alex were awesome!!! We have already recommended it to several others. My only issue was the time of the pickup and being there a half hour early. Pick up time was noted as 7:30 on one form and 7:00 on another. We were unsure so showed up at 6:30 and had to wait an hour. All things said, the hour wait was worth it.

Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgable and watched over our group attentively at each stop. Seeing the monuments at night is a "must-do" and a good time to walk the outdoor sights - in the cooler summer temperatures of evening. The smaller, air-conditioned bus made the July heat bearable and the cold bottled water provided was appreciated. We had a first-rate tour, well-organized with no problems.

This tour was fantastic and far better than we had even hoped. Andrew, our tour guide, was funny, knowledgeable and passionate about significance of the various sites. We looked at a less expensive tour that just dropped you off at the sites and waited, but the price difference was far outweighed by the benefit of having our guide continue the tour at the site itself. I highly recommend this tour and this company to DC visitors.

Tour guide was very energetic and helpful also well informed. I have been to Wash. DC many times but have never seen all of the monuments on this tour.
I would recommend it to friends.

Excellent trip organised with great professionalism and enjoyment by Ralph. He added more sights than originally advertised much to the delight of the bus. Would recommend to all those visiting DC - the night tour is not to be missed
