Fantastic Way to Spend the day

The Journey safe, the bus clean & well kept & The Guide was super impressive with an impeccable memory. So knowledgeable, I was inspired and learnt so much…. This amazing trip will cause me to do some historic reading to dig up even more juicy information. It’s worth every penny.
An excellent tour of DC!!

The 6 hour tour is well worth the cost. Our tour guide Evan is full of knowledge about DC and Maggie (bus driver) was very professional and an excellent driver. I encourage everyone to invest in this tour, it’s a great way to see all the memorials and some museums. Don’t forget to wear comfortable walking shoes!!
