Traveler reviews
Disappointing customer service after tour changes
The first tour guide was excellent — knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and great with both adults and children. We genuinely enjoyed that experience despite the rainy weather. Unfortunately, the issue was with the second tour and the way the situation was handled afterward. I specifically purchased two separate tours because they advertised different itineraries and experiences. After booking, one of the tours was changed and became essentially the same as the other tour I had already purchased. A boat tour was offered instead, but due to the rain and the fact that it was a completely different type of experience, it was not an equivalent substitute. Despite this significant itinerary change, my refund request was denied. Travelers should be aware that major itinerary changes may not be resolved fairly even when the experience delivered differs substantially from what was originally advertised.
Great experience. Our...
Great experience. Our tour guide was funny and informative. I was able to see a great deal of DC monument and their stories.
Washington DC tour
Our tour guide was wonderful. It would have been nice if he had a microphone because at times , even on the van, it was hard to hear him. We had purchased the Washington Monument ticket. We were the only ones in our group who had so we were left at the monument 2 1/2 hours before our tour time. There needs to be better communication regarding the description of this tour. We had to rearrange our afternoon plans. Still a good tour, lunch added would be a nice option. We did a Hoover Dam tour from Vegas that included lunch and it was wonderful. The timing of this tour made it difficult to plan the day.
This tour is a complete...
This tour is a complete scam. It misleads customers with false advertising. I booked it specifically for the promised entry to the Washington Monument — as the title clearly states: "Entry to Washington Monument with guided bus tour through the city in the morning." Anyone would assume that this includes actual admission (not just the price but the opportunity to enter in and of itself) to the Monument. It's the exact opposite of what was advertised. I wasted both time and money on a tour that failed to deliver its most basic and advertised feature. Avoid at all costs.
Tyron keeps it fun for kids, teens and adults alike!
Tyrone did amazing keeping it fun for kids, a teen (17) and adults alike. He interacted with everyone and his sense of humor kept it interesting. I would recommend him highly!
