Vehicles include two rear-facing seats, with seating assigned on a first come, first served basis at the meeting point.

  • For the private experience, your group will have exclusive use of an electric cart (maximum 7 people). This option is priced at a fixed total rate for up to 7 guests, meaning the full price applies regardless of group size.
  • Please arrive as scheduled, dress appropriately for the weather, and check your messages for any updates. Since our electric carts are not heated and are open to the environment, we recommend wearing layers of clothing during colder months.
  • This is a child-friendly tour, however, please note that all children will be charged at full adult rate due to limited seating.

We did an early morning tour with Lorenzo. This was definitely the highlight of our quick stop in DC on the way home from Spring Break. Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The 7 am tour was perfect for photos of all monuments and buildings! There was no one around and traffic was minimal!

Worst experience

Our tour driver did not show up. So after waiting 40 minutes, and paying for Uber, the driver was just a no show and we were told to call to request a refund or to reschedule. Very disappointing, very unprofessional. I do don't recommend.

Marci’s Washington hop on hop off tour

The electric cart’s seats/rows are close so it’s a little tight but the open air is great. Also our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable and fun.
