So worth it! - Worth it! Our tour guide, Becca, was great! She was energetic, good at timing everything, and knew a TON about DC. She seemed to really enjoy being a guide. The tour itself is a lot of walking, but there is so much packed into the tour that it’s completely worth it. I highly recommend!

Great Visit on the Monuments tour. - Becca did a wonderful job escorting our "Walking Tour of the Monuments w/stop at the Washington Obelisk'. Her knowledge of the Monuments and National mall was outstanding. Our group included senior citizens and she made sure everyone could hear her and kept us in the shade whenever she could. Very good people and communication skills. Would highly recommend her for your tour.
