Good tour covering all major monuments. Would recommend to get good overview of Washington in short period

Tour guide made terrible attempt at humor. She didn’t know how to properly use a microphone in the bus and had no speaker outside. At one point we came to Lafayette Park and her only bit of information was the name of the park and that the statue was of Lafayette. I could have bought a map! I wish we could have walked away. Capitol tour was great but she wasn’t our guide.

This is a great tour. We started out with Christopher at the Capitol and were very impressed with him (ask him to name a statue from your state!). We thought we were going to be disappointed that he went with another group but we were wrong. Yanna is amazing. She came to USA in 1974 and must have spent a lot of time absorbing American history. She was extremely knowledgeable but also very entertaining. She’s just precious too. Other things that are great about the tour are the small groups and air conditioned buses. Can’t go wrong with that in the DC summer heat and humidity!

Different groups at Capitol are getting mixed ending up with over 60 people in one group. Time at spots much to short. Tour guide was overwhelmed with size of group mostly talking about his opinion - boring!

If it’s your first time this tour is great. If it is been a while this tour is a great ways to see so much in one day. The guide makes the difference, Nick was awesome!

Could have been organised better as mixed in with those taking the river cruise so we lost a lot of time taking them and until asked what was going got a new bus for the group of us to continue on instead of having to wait around We booked half day for a reason due to time constraints
