Book It! - What a great activity to see all of the sites in DC. I came to DC for years and saw more on this trip than all the “self” guided tours before. Our tour guide was very informative and nice. Great time!

Don’t recommend - If you’re even 10 minutes late you’ll be out the entire amount you paid. Even if they’re having technical difficulties with the carts and running late themselves. I arrived late the carts were still there but since I warned them 3 hours prior that I may be late they resold my seats. They told me to come back at a later time and I would be able to catch the next tour. But that too was booked. So now I’m out $414, and had to uber my way around DC so it wasn’t a wasted trip. I live 2 hours from DC and got stuck in traffic. Don’t put your money into this company. I paid for a service that I didn’t recieve and they got double the money and couldn’t even refund me half. 10/10 don’t recommend, even his guides told me this happens often.

I can’t see where we’re going…. - I planned a trip for myself and my partner, who had never been to Washington before. It was also my first time visiting Washington for leisure, so we thought a city tour would be the perfect way to explore and see the historic sites. When we arrived at the Amtrak station, we realized we wouldn’t make our originally scheduled 3:00 PM tour. I contacted the company, and they quickly agreed to move us to the 5:30 PM tour without any issue, which we appreciated. We arrived at the hotel pickup location and waited for the shuttle. When it arrived, there were already two other groups on board. The tour cart had four seats facing forward and one row facing backward. Unfortunately, we were seated in the back row, which meant we were facing oncoming traffic instead of the landmarks the tour was approaching. As a result, we ended up viewing much of the city backwards. Additionally, the roof of the cart was quite low, which limited our ability to see the buildings and attractions around us. On top of that, the seat belts were damaged—some were cut, tied, or too small—which raised serious safety concerns, especially for those seated in the back row. Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience and would not recommend this tour. By the end, I felt like I hadn’t truly seen the city at all.
