Money well spent. - This is a great way to see the major landmarks without having to worry about traffic and parking! We had a sampling of each spot with photo ops and Sally was friendly and very knowledgeable not just in the past, but the future plans for the city. Our driver Zuma was skillful in safely navigating the random obstacles on the road to ensure we were able to access all of our locations. At the end of our tour, they dropped us off in front of our museum upgrade, so we didn’t have to do any extra walking. The whole process was easy from beginning to end and we couldn’t have asked for a better first-timer experience.

Great day with the kids! - James was super knowledgeable and friendly. We brought our 11 year old twins to learn more about our country and see the sites. James kept them engaged and we enjoyed the day.

Not what we purchased - Purchases the cherry blossom tour with the capital and tour of the library of congress. Well they seemed clueless about it. For what we paid it was the package deal. They offered us to “give us” tickets to the library of congress. Well when it’s purchased and you are offering to give them to us, how is that a deal. I had even picked a time which was 2:00 after our morning tour was done. We would have never even made it because of how long the morning tour went. We were offered to even get the tour refunded and I should have just done that. Tyrone was good and knowledgeable but not worth what was paid. Would definitely not purchase a tour with them again. I attached a picture of the tour we purchased and definitely did not get it.

Not what was expected - While there were some enjoyable aspects of this tour, overall I was very frustrated, angry, and disappointed in the experience. I paid $260 (for 2 people) for the tour. I was told to be at the National Archives at 8am. At 7:50am I got a call stating adamantly that I needed to be at the Supreme Court building. Note: caused an additional Uber ride/cost. Got to the Supreme Court building, had to wait in line for an hour to wait to enter the Capitol. It was freezing. In all fairness, the wait was not the fault of the tour company. Started touring the Capitol and within an hour was told by the tour guide that we had to hurry and leave to go meet the tour bus for the monument part of the tour. What we paid for was the monument tour first (starting at the National Archives) and the upgraded Capitol and Library of Congress in the afternoon. As we were running to catching the tour bus we asked about the Library of Congress. We were told that is only in the afternoon tour. Yes, I understood that AND it was what we paid for and then were told something different 10 minutes prior to the tour starting. The monument tour was supposed to include the White House. Never did it. Instead they added Iwo Jima which we already saw on our own because it wasn’t part of this tour. We were supposed to end back at the National Archives where we would have walked back to our hotel. Instead we ended at the Washington Harbor to accommodate other people’s upgraded boat tour. Had to get another additional Uber to return to hotel. Summary…two extra Uber costs, did not see White House or Library of Congress. Spent money on upgrade that wasn’t provided. Never again! Don’t believe what the description describes. Evidently they do whatever they want with no regard for your expense, inconvenience, or expectations.
