Insightful, Fun & Family-Friendly — A Must-Do in D.C.! - Our family had an amazing experience with USA Guided Tours during our recent trip to Washington, D.C. From start to finish, the entire experience was well-organized, engaging, and memorable — and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide Roche and our skilled, courteous driver Iyana.
Roche brought history to life with such passion and depth. His knowledge of both well-known monuments and hidden gems gave us a new appreciation for D.C.’s rich past and present. He added personal stories, humor, and cultural insight that made the tour enjoyable for all ages — especially meaningful for our multigenerational Black family.
Iyana was fantastic — warm, professional, and an expert at navigating busy streets and tight spots with ease. Her driving gave us peace of mind so we could sit back and enjoy every stop.
We’ve done tours before, but this one truly stood out for its organization, storytelling, and care for every guest. Highly recommended for families, veterans, and anyone wanting to explore D.C. in comfort and style. Thank you, Roche and Iyana, for helping us create such powerful memories!

Perfect family day with coverage of DC - We had a wonderful tour with Derrick + Tony! We covered so much space and information in our 4 hours. The fun facts kept the attention of our kids and the humor was perfect for the adults! It was a great mix of driving and walking - the pace was also just right for our group! The AC bus and waters were so helpful with the hot weather! We would absolutely do this again!

The highlights of DC in 4 hours. - We took a four hour tour of DC to see the highlights, the monuments, and have some photo ops. Joey was our guide, and Khalifa was our driver. It was July 3, so DC was crowded with people and traffic and barriers up, but both the driving and tour were excellent.
Joey was so knowledgable about the city since she’s a resident - and as we drove from one monument to another, she talked about all the other buildings we were seeing. She to,d us what exhibits were in them, in case we wanted to visit them later. She kept us together as a group, but we had extra time a few places. Water was supplied and encouraged due to the heat. Joey’s knowledge and stories brought all the monuments to life.
We saw the Capitol, the White House, the Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Lutheran King Memorial, WWll Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Washington Monument - all the highlights and photo ops in 4 hours. It didn’t feel rushed, it felt like the we got information and stories about all of them and in a fun trip. Thanks Joey!
I’d recommend this tour for all ages, there were kids and teens on our tour. There is a lot of walking, some on uneven grass, so older folks or people with mobility issues need to be aware. I thought it was very organized.
