Comfortable small van tour covers a lot of monuments. - The small van tour was comfortable on a cold winter day and went to a lot of places of interest. You have enough time to learn about them and take photos. The tour guide Tyrone was a professional. He provided a lot of information and engaged each of us as we went along. It was awesome to stand and look out at the mall where Martin Luther King delivered his I Have a Dream speech.

Great tour, but... - Lots of stops long enough to take lot lots of pictures. Friendly driver, excellent tour guide. Only reason it's 4 stars is that it clearly said it would drop us off at the Archives, and it did not, forcing my husband with cancer to walk farther than he should have to get back to our transportation.

James our guide and Cris... - James our guide and Cris our driver were very accommodating. James was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information along the monument tour. He incorporated our background from Australia into the tour information. We wanted to stop to take photos which he was able to accommodate in our very small group. A pleasant, fast passed tour.

Bad Cherry Blossom Tour - Check in was confusing. Optional, paid for vouchers, were not issued. Countless calls, texts, emails and chats were not helpful. We paid for a 3 hour tour but we were put on an 8 hour tour bus and dismissed after our 3 hours were up. Clearly our small 3 hour group was not a priority for the tour guide. When I asked him about our optional vouchers, he gave me a phone number and told to call and they would send them to me. No answer or return call. We never got any vouchers sent to us via email or text so that was all money wasted and we went back home. Signature tours were not helpful at all.
