Review of Washington monuments tour - It was a very informative tour and we gained a lot of knowledge about the Washington monuments. Gregg answered our questions very thoroughly. As we were British, our knowledge was limited. He took lots of good photographs of us.

Vicky is GREAT and so is this tour! - Vicky was our tour guide and she was extremely knowledgeable. She was great at fielding questions over a range of subjects about Washington DC and in particular the Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Monument, Korean War Memorial, WWII Memorial, and the Washington Monument. She also gave great perspectives on some of the memorials. She was also friendly and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend Vicky and this tour.

Well worth the money! ... - Well worth the money! The tour guide, Hannah, was very knowledgeable and personable. We were a bit late as our Uber got stuck in traffic on the way to the meeting point, but Hannah kept us well updated via text as to where the group was at so we could easily join up as soon as we got there. We enjoyed the insight into the different memorials and monuments and our teens thought going to the top of the Washington Monument was amazing!

Nice commentary and question/answer stops at the memorials. - The guide was very knowledgeable about the memorials we visited and provided a running commentary as we walked between memorials. At the Vietnam memorial he helped one family (including the nephew named after him) find the notation of a brother & helped them get a rubbing of the notation.
