WDC/DMV Great Guide and Driver

Guide was very knowledgeable. Provides more information than what you would get from a text book. Very personable.

SOME men left behind!

It was our understanding that we would end the tour at the starting point, which is where we parked our car. This is how it was explained in the trip details. Instead, our tour ended miles away and we were forced to find an alternate way back to our vehicle. Only those who purchased the entire day tour got taken back to the starting point. Not what we thought we were paying for.

Worth the tour.

Guide was very good. Personally and knowledgeable about the history of DC. There is a lot of walking, but you can always stay on the bus at the different stops.
