What a great tour! Wayne was an amazing guide who was so professional and had so much knowledge about DC. Our day was amazing as we toured the DC area - we learned about the monuments as well as information about the area. Would highly recommend this tour
My wife and I took this tour and it was the best trip we have ever taken. The tour was fantastic as was the guide. I drive for a living so telling you our tour bus driver was top notch isn't exaggerating at all. This was our first vacation without kids or grandkids and everything about it was great. We will be booking the hop on hop off tour in the spring and cant wait!!!!!!!
Tour guide was amazing. Very knowledge. The tour however needs improvement. We were supposed to get an hour lunch around lunch time but ended up getting 20-25min to grab something and board a boat. We literally had to eat on the boat. Felt like it could have been planned better.
This was an awesome experience. Our tour guide, Dwayne, was so knowledgeable and friendly. This tour is highly recommended, but be aware there is a lot of walking...well worth every step!
