Disappointed. Buyer beware

Terrible customer service, communication was awful. Just took our money. Buyer beware. Disappointed and will impact any consideration of ever using this service or partners.

Wow Washington highlights

Great way to see all the top attractions in 1 day. Comfortable coach with toilets for the journey. Very well organised tour with stop half way to stretch legs get food. brilliant and knowledgeable guide Augustine who was full of information and gave us such a brilliant trip. Very careful and excellent driver Enrique who knew Washington like the back of his hand. Would highly recommend this trip. We had such a great day and saw everything we wanted to see without having to stay in Washington. Thank you guys. (Wood party of two)

Nice day trip

The host was excellent and very knowledgeable. The tour was fast-paced and involved many hours on the bus, but it checks off all the key sights someone needs to see in DC.

D.C. day

The tour guide is very composed despite the delays due to bus malfunction. The bus replacement took a while like 2 hours, but once it arrived, it went on. The tour was amazing and recommendable. I hope they check their buses first before the trip.

Extremely Satisfied. As much as you can fit in a day.

Alan did an outstanding job as our guide. He obviously knows his stuff. His presentation was short and interesting. We had a small group allowing us a few extra stops. The weather cooperated which helped. Our driver did an excellent job getting us to our different sites.
