Traveler reviews
Nice AC van, poor tour guide
My mom and I enjoyed the air conditioned van and the fact that it was a small group, but our tour guide Dean was not very personable or enthusiastic. He didn’t even introduce himself when we met— just focused on picking up the last person on our tour… I’ve been on plenty of tours all over the world, and I understand each person has their own style of doing things, but even our guide admitted that this line of work was the last thing he should be doing because he’s such an introvert; this was no surprise. It wasn’t all bad though; we got to see a nice amount of things in the 4.5 hours we toured— we just googled or listened in on other tour groups. Given the small group vibe this experience has, the guide can really make or break the overall experience. Just something to consider. I honestly would have preferred a prerecorded tour where they play the audio in the van. Otherwise if you don’t mind potentially teaching yourself, I think this is a great tour!
Beyond expectations
Our driver, Dean was very responsive. Every time we contacted him and very receptive to our quest for educating and 11 year-old. He took us to great monuments and experiences, and even added one at the end to see the original Declaration of Independence, which was beyond amazing. There was no rush there was safe driving and lots of information shared.
Excellent Tour!
Very informative tour of Washington DC, especially the mouments of Washington DC. Dean was the best guide! Very knowledgeable about the sites we visited.
The right tour guide
Dean was extremely knowledgeable about DC. His enthusiasm for the locations was infectious. He truly loves DC and his job.
A lot of attractions,...
A lot of attractions, time to see at each stop. Water provided on an tour,which was very much needed because it was hot
