Best tour in DC! - AMAZING TOUR! Although not listed under luxury/private tours, this tour is so intimate. Tour guide was so knowledgeable and driver was where we needed him when we needed him catering to us in the cold. Couldn’t recommend more!

Evening of Shared Secrets - Fantastic Tour! We had a small group and our tour guide was very knowledgeable of DC political history. It was great learning some of the secrets of past Presidents and dignitaries. Seeing historic areas at night was great.

Great tour for all! - So many fun facts! We're not tourists and have been living in the DC metro area for more than 20 years and the history of our hometown never ceases to amaze me. Such a fun night on the town seeing all the sites and learning about all the juicy scandalous tid bits of our Nation's Capital. We traveled with our two year old and she had a ball chatting it up with our super friendly tour guide and bus driver. Would highly recommend to all! Even locals!

This is a must! - I was in DC for work and didn’t have a whole lot of free time. By the time my work commitments was done, the museums were closed. I stopped by the concierge desk at my hotel to ask for recommendations on a fun activity as I didn’t want to spend the only free night in my hotel room watching “Law and Order” reruns. He recommended this tour, and my only reservation about it was the time (it runs 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm, and I had a 5:30 am start to my day the following morning). Let me tell you, I am so glad I went! My tour guide was Evan (the driver was Latonya), and it was an amazing experience. Evan is very knowledgeable and delivered the historical information in a perfect combination of facts and humor. He was patient with all the questions we bombarded him with, and really came across as a genuine and caring human being. If you’re ever in DC, I highly recommend this tour, I’ve learned so much about historical events, and already planning my return to DC so I can learn even more.

Title of tour is misleading. Boring - Hard to say. Nothing stood out. Found the content delivery very boring. I felt I knew more than the tour guide. This was billed as an insiders guide to DC. It wasn’t. All of the information was before 2000. If I wanted a simple basic tour of DC I wouldn’t have selected this tour.
