Eli was excellent - Eli was a wonderful tour guide. He had good communication on where to meet and giving directions. The 3 areas we visited was wonderful. Eli obtained timed tickets to the Capitol also which made it much easier. I had my 11 year old son who really enjoyed seeing all the architecture. It is quite a bit of walking and standing (3+) hours. But we loved it. Thanks Eli!

Highly recommend this tour! - Ingeborg was an outstanding tour guide! She had a wealth of knowledge about the DC area and she navigated our group effortlessly through throngs of tourists. Tours like this can be pricey - particularly for families - but it’s money well spent. You take all of this time, money and effort to travel to a location, so think of it as an investment to help you get the most out of your trip. Being provided historical context for what you are viewing is priceless. This tour was also appealing to us because we only planned our trip to DC two weeks in advance. At such short notice, it’s nearly impossible to acquire the free tickets to the Capitol and Library of Congress offered on the government websites. DC Travel by Foot has them reserved for your entire group. Ingeborg was also excellent about keeping us on schedule so we didn’t miss our timed entries. She escorted us exactly where we needed to be at exactly the right time. She offered bathroom breaks and took pictures of our family in front of the Capitol. Fantastic experience!
