It’s the best way to get a complete overview of the history, as well as the lay of the land to take this tour. Sally was great , filling in all the big, as well as small tidbits I never knew about the sites, and historical figures from history. Making it all come alive and real. I could ask anything, and she had an answer. Chis was excellent, driving us from point to point…and, at the end of the day, it was the most beautiful, and moving site of Washington I could ever imagine. I was more moved than I ever thought I’d be. I highly recommend!

Our guide and driver were great and the coach was clean and comfortable. The tour ran 3 hours instead of 2.5 so it was late when we returned. Maybe skip the drive to Arlington because it was too dark to see anything there anyway. I would use this tour service again.

Sally was an amazing tour guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, interactive and had a great personality. She included everyone in the discussions on our small tour and just knew so much about a variety of things. The tour was absolutely BEAUTIFUL at night, moving and it was a great way to beat the crowds. Chris was a great driver and very friendly offering water.
